Lexmark C760, C762
The Lexmark C760 and C762 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 C760 and C762 paper feeding mechanism uses advanced technology that enhances feeding reliability. The
Lexmark C760 and C762 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 C760 and C762 uses an auto compensator to pick the media rather than the corner buckler system used by
earlier printer models.
The Lexmark C760 and C762 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 system.) You may want to use
micro-perfs to avoid nesting problems. See Perforations and die-cuts on page 8 for more information.

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.
