Paper source

Tray 1

500-sheet drawer

Multipurpose feeder

Vinyl labels are supported only when printing environment and media are 20—32.2°C (68—90°F).

The skew performance of heavy vinyl labels may be enhanced by feeding from an optional 500 sheet drawer if

placement of the image is critical.

For paper and transparency specifications, refer to the printer publications CD.

* 150—250 Sheffield is optimal. Using media higher than 300 Sheffield could result in printing degradation.

Standard trays

The Lexmark C760 and C762 paper feeding mechanism uses advanced technology that enhances feeding reliability. The

Lexmark C760 and C762 trays, which hold approximately 500 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m

supported media.

Pick roller technology

The Lexmark C760 and C762 uses an auto compensator to pick the media rather than the corner buckler system used by

earlier printer models.

The Lexmark C760 and C762 trays have two rollers that touch the media in two places (see Figure 14 on page 76). Avoid

placing deep perforations in these areas since the media may nest, causing multiple sheet feeds. Perforations that could

cause nesting and tenting should fall outside the 0.31—1.05 in. area on the leading edge of the media. (This is different from

the 0.50 in. we recommend leaving at the top of the form for printers with a corner buckler system.) You may want to use

micro-perfs to avoid nesting problems. See Perforations and die-cuts on page 8 for more information.
