Labels - Lexmark X422 User Reference Manual

When printing on envelopes:
• Set the Paper Size
Professional, or the Web page. Set the
menu from the
and type from the print driver.
• Use envelopes made from 75 to 105 g/m
fewer print media jams, do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl.
– Are stuck together.
– Are damaged in any way.
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
– Have postage stamps attached.
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Adjust the right paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• Load envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return
address to enter the MFP first. See
for loading an envelope instructions.
• If you are feeding self-sealing envelopes, open the rear output bin door so envelopes feed
straight out the back of the MFP. The rear output bin holds about 10 envelopes.

Labels

Your MFP can print on many labels designed for use with laser MFPs. These labels are supplied in
letter size and A4 size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be
able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large
quantity.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label
Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type
panel, or the Web pages.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
• Do not use label sheets with a 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 your MFP and your cartridge with adhesive, and could
void your MFP and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
