Card stock and label guidelines
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A special fuser cleaner should be used for label
applications to optimize feed reliability. See your printer documentation for information on ordering label fuser
cleaners.
Printing labels on the T630, T632 and T634 requires a special label fuser cleaner that prevents duplexing.
It is recommended that when you run vinyl labels, you install a special oil fuser cleaner, P/N 56P1415. When you order
a new cartridge, be sure to order the cartridge that will include the correct fuser cleaner.
It is possible to duplex certain labels that have been specifically designed for this application. To duplex labels, consult
the Lexmark "Converter Lists" to see which converters have successfully developed this type of label, and you must
install a special fuser wiper. The wax wiper that is used with the T630, T632, and T634 is P/N 56P2109. (Cartridges
designed for duplex label printing contain two wax wipers. Change the wax wiper at the halfway point of your normal
cartridge usage to provide additional cleaning and optimize performance.)
When printing on labels:
•
Using the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy labels,
set the Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set the Labels Texture (under the Paper
Texture menu) to Smooth.
Note: When Paper Type is set to Labels, and Labels Weight is set to Heavy, the printer reduces the printing speed
to 30 ppm, to ensure acceptable printing.
•
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can
cause feeding problems.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive
material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
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.
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.
