Receive optimal use from the printer by properly loading trays. Never mix media types within a tray.
Choosing appropriate print media
To reduce printing problems and to receive the best print quality, try a sample of the media you are considering
before buying large quantities.
Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more
information about which print media provides optimum results.
Paper
•
For the best print quality, use 20 lb (75 g/m
2
) xerographic, grain long paper. The printer can automatically
feed paper weights from 16 to 28 lb bond (60 to105 g/m
2
) grain long and (64 to 105 g/m
2
) grain short.
Paper lighter than 16 lb (60 g/m
2
) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams.
• The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 206°C (403°F). Use only paper able to
withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with
the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the chosen paper is acceptable for laser printers.
