Lexmark C770, C772, C780, and C782
The Lexmark C770, C772, C780, and C782 prints on many labels designed
for use with laser printers.
The following table lists the maximum basis weights supported by the trays
and the multipurpose feeder. More detailed specifications appear on the
following pages.
Note:
The optional 2000-sheet drawer supports paper only.
For paper and transparency specifications, refer to the printer publications CD.
The following table indicates the paper sizes each tray supports
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
2
) bond
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

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.
