Optra W810 - Lexmark Dot Matrix Manual

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.
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.
