Lexmark XM3150 Compatibility Guide

Card stock and label guidelines
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. Printing labels on the X651de, X652de, X654de,
X656de, and X658de requires a special fuser cleaner that prevents duplexing. It is recommended that you install a
special oil fuser cleaner, P/N 40X2665, when you run labels. When you order a new cartridge, be sure the cartridge
includes the correct fuser cleaner.
It is possible to duplex certain labels that have been specifically designed for this application. To duplex labels, consult
the Lexmark “Converter Lists” to see which converters have successfully developed this type of label. You must install
a special fuser wiper. The wax wiper that is used with the X651de, X652de, X654de, and X656de printers is P/N 40X2666
(cartridges designed for duplex label printing contain two wax wipers). Change the wax wiper at the halfway point of
your normal cartridge usage to provide additional cleaning and optimize performance. Contact your Supplies and Label
Specialist for information on oil and wax vinyl label cartridges.
Note: We do not recommend using wax wipers with vinyl labels.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy labels, set the Paper Type to Vinyl Labels.
Note: When Paper Type is set to Vinyl Labels, the printer reduces the printing speed to ensure acceptable
printing.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can
cause feeding problems.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive
material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
When feeding labels, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the more
labels per sheet, the better the registration.
When printing on card stock:
• Set the Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
• Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
