Using labels
Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on
the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
When printing on labels:
From MarkVision Professional, Print Properties, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to Labels.
Use only letter, A4, or legal‑size label sheets.
Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that label
adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) and pressure
up to 25 psi without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes. Do not use vinyl labels.
Do not use labels with slick backing material.
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.
Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of the label.
Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)
away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non‑oozing adhesive.
Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.
Using card stock
Card stock is heavy, single‑ply print media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,
and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before
buying large quantities.
When printing on card stock:
From MarkVision Professional, or the control panel:
1Set the Paper Type to Card Stock.
2Select a Card Stock Texture setting. Paper and specialty media guide41
Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or
other paper handling problems.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F)
without releasing hazardous emissions.
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi‑liquid and volatile components into the printer.
Use grain long card stock when possible.
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.
Note: To use a paper size that is unlisted, configure a Universal Paper Size.
For information on card stock and labels, see the Card Stock & Label Guide.

							Printing
This chapter covers printing, printer reports, and job cancellation. The selection and handling of paper and specialty
media can affect how reliably documents print. For more information, see Avoiding jams and Storing paper.
Installing printer software
A printer driver is software that lets the computer communicate with the printer. The printer software is typically
installed during the initial printer setup. For more information, see the Setup sheet or Setup Guide that shipped with
the printer or click Install printer and software on the Software and Documentation CD.
When Print is chosen from a software application, a dialog representing the printer driver opens. Click Properties,
Preferences, Options, or Setup from the initial Print dialog to open Print Properties and see all of the available printer
settings that may be changed. If a feature in Print Properties is unfamiliar, open the online Help for more information.
Note: Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the control panel.

Printing confidential and other held jobs
Holding jobs in the printer
When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the Print Properties that you want the printer to hold the job in
memory until you start the job from the control panel. All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are
called held jobs.
Note: Confidential, Repeat, Reserve, and Verify print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to
process additional held jobs. Printing48
Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							Job typeDescription
Confidential When you send a Confidential print job to the printer, you must create a PIN in
Print Properties. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 0–9. The job is held
in printer memory until you enter the PIN from the control panel and choose to
print or delete the job.
Repeat When you send a Repeat print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the
job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You can
print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.
Reserve When you send a Reserve print job, the printer does not print the job immediately.
It stores the job in memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in memory
until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu.
Verify When you send a Verify print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the
remaining copies in printer memory. Verify lets you examine the first copy to see
if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. Once all copies are printed,
the job is automatically deleted from printer memory.
