Solution / Answer
See Understanding the Lexmark E120 operator panel lights on page 10.
Check printer driver settings to make sure Envelope has been selected from the Paper Type
menu.
If Envelope is selected, try selecting a rougher texture setting. Sometimes toner does not
adhere well to smooth-textured envelopes. From the printer driver, select Custom 6-
Rough Env from Paper Type menu.
To change Custom 6 back to its default settings for Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper
Weight, use Local Printer Setup Utility on the Software and Documentation CD. If you have
installed printer drivers and utilities, skip to step 7.

2 Click Printer Software.
3 Click Agree.
4 Select Local Printer Install, then click Next.
5 Select the printer and port, and check Local Printer Setup Utility.

directory is chosen).
