To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

We recommend Lexmark part number 12A8240 for letter-size and Lexmark part number 12A8241 for A4-size
transparencies.

Using envelopes

Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on envelopes:
•
From Print Properties or the printer control panel, set the Paper Size and Paper Type.
•
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
•
For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m
weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed
2
90 g/m (24 lb bond) weight.
•
Use only new envelopes.
•
If wrinkling or smeared print occurs, use the Print Properties to rotate the orientation of the envelope by 180
degrees, and then try printing again.
•
To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
–
Have excessive curl or twist
–
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
–
Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
–
Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars
–
Have an interlocking design
–
Have postage stamps attached
–
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
–
Have bent corners
–
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
•
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
•
Load only one size of envelope at a time. Envelopes may only be loaded in the multipurpose feeder. Load them
with the flap up and to the left of the multipurpose feeder.
