• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. • Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. • We recommend Lexmark part number 12A8240 for letter-size and Lexmark part number 12A8241 for A4-size transparencies. Using envelopes Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities. When printing on envelopes: • From Print Properties or the printer control panel, set the Paper Size and Paper Type. • Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or releasing hazardous emissions. • For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight. • Use only new envelopes. • If wrinkling or smeared print occurs, use the Print Properties to rotate the orientation of the envelope by 180 degrees, and then try printing again. • To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that: - Have excessive curl or twist - Are stuck together or damaged in any way - Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing - Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars - Have an interlocking design - Have postage stamps attached - Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position - Have bent corners - Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes • Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes. • Load only one size of envelope at a time. Envelopes may only be loaded in the multipurpose feeder. Load them with the flap up and to the left of the multipurpose feeder. Paper and specialty media guide 51
