Storing Paper; Supported Paper Sizes, Types, And Weights - Lexmark X548 Series User Manual

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without melting or
releasing hazardous emissions.

Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
•
For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label
manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with relative humidity between
40 and 60%.
• Store paper in cartons when possible, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
•
Store individual packages on a flat surface.
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

Supported paper sizes, types, and weights

The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper sources and the types of paper they support.

•
Your printer model may have a 650-sheet duo drawer, which consists of a 550-sheet tray and an integrated
100-sheet multipurpose feeder. The 550-sheet tray of the 650-sheet duo drawer supports the same paper sizes as
the optional 550-sheet tray. The integrated multipurpose feeder supports different paper sizes, types, and weights.
• Some printer models may not support the optional 550-sheet tray.
