Using media
Using letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the chosen preprinted letterhead is acceptable for
laser printers.
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading
letterhead.
Using transparencies
Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
•
From MarkVision™ Professional, the printer software, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to
Transparency.
•
Feed transparencies from the standard tray (Tray 1) or the multipurpose feeder.
•
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to
ensure transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without melting,
discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Use transparencies that are 0.12–0.14 mm (4.8–5.4 mil) in thickness or 161–179 g/m
2
in weight.
•
Print quality and durability depend on the transparencies used.
•
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.
Using envelopes
•
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on envelopes:
•
From the control panel, set the Paper Source based on the source in use. From the control panel, the
printer software, or MarkVision Professional, set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size.
•
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure
the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling
excessively, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m
2
(28 lb
bond) weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not
exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight.

Use only new envelopes.
