Printing labels on the X642e, require a special label fuser cleaner that prevents duplexing.
It is recommended that when you run vinyl labels, you install a special oil fuser cleaner, P/N 40X2665. When you order
a new label cartridge, order the X644H01A high yield return print cartridge or X644X01A extra high yield print cartridge.
It is possible to duplex certain labels that have been specifically designed for this application. To duplex labels, consult
the Lexmark “Converter Lists” to see which converters have successfully developed this type of label, and you must
install a special fuser wiper. The wax wiper that is used with the X642e is P/N 40X2666 (Cartridges designed for duplex
label printing contain two wax wipers. Change the wax wiper at the halfway point of your normal cartridge usage to
provide additional cleaning and optimize performance.)

Due to label design characteristics, unacceptable feeding may be experienced from the multipurpose feeder.
