Lexmark X560n User Manual

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.
