• 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 guides to fit the width of the envelopes.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.

Tips on using labels

Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Note: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and two‑sided labels are not supported.

For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available at

http://support.lexmark.com.

When printing on labels:

• Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:

– The labels can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or

releasing hazardous emissions.

– Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25‑psi (172‑kPa) pressure without

delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.

• Do not use labels with slick backing material.

• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets

also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and toner cartridge

warranties.

• Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of the

label.

• Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive should be

at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the

warranty.

• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2‑mm (0.06‑inches) strip on the leading and driver

edge, and use a non‑oozing adhesive.

• Portrait orientation is recommended, especially when printing bar codes.
