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 C770, C772, C780, and C782 paper feeding mechanism uses advanced technology that enhances feeding
reliability. The Lexmark C770, C772, C780, and C782 trays, which hold approximately 500 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m
paper, reliably feed all supported media.
Pick roller technology
The Lexmark C770, C772, C780, and C782 uses an auto compensator to pick the media rather than the corner buckler
system used by earlier printer models.
The Lexmark C770, C772, C780, and C782 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
