When printing on card stock:
•

Type for detailed information about these settings.)
•
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and
cause paper handling or jamming problems.
•
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
For more information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide, available on the Lexmark Web site at

Choosing transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and
durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are
considering before buying large quantities.
To ensure high quality output on transparencies, we recommend using the following Lexmark
transparencies. They have been designed specifically for your printer:
P/N 12A5940 (letter size)
P/N 12A5941 (A4 size)
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type for
detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether
your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 212°C (414°F). Use
only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring,
offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, refer to the Card Stock & Label
Guide, which is available on the Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com .
Note: Transparencies cannot be fed from trays other than the optional heavy media tray
and the multipurpose feeder.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause
poor print quality.
