The printer also uses a variety of papers including: Xerographic paper Bond paper Dual-purpose paper Recycled bond paper Iron-On transfer paper Greeting card stock Inkjet Photo Paper Hagaki Because all paper varies in physical characteristics, you can receive mixed results from different packages of paper even though the packages contain the same type of paper. If you encounter undesirable results, try the other side of the paper, a different type, or another package of the same kind of paper. Do not use the following types of paper with the printer: Erasable bond paper Synthetic paper Thermal paper Multi-sheet forms and documents Chemically treated paper (carbonless paper) Papers printed with a printing process using certain chemicals and paper with raised, embossed lettering will contaminate the paper feed mechanism components. Most papers have a preferred print side indicated on the paper package. Load the paper so the preferred print side faces you. The following paper sizes can be used in the automatic feeder and the manual feeder: Use paper that meets these specifications in the Automatic Feeder: Length: 127 to 432 mm 5.0 to 17.0 in.

Photo paper types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The printer supports letter and A4-size photo paper. Use photo paper designed for an ink jet printer such as Lexmark P/N 1372481 (letter size) or 1372208 (A4 size). Do not use photo paper designed for copiers and laser printers, or for pen plotters. For best results: Handle only on the edges. Store unused photo paper in the original packaging. Do not store the paper in excessively hot or humid environments. Use the automatic feeder to print on photo paper. (You can print on either the glossy or the matte side.) Feed the photo paper one sheet at a time. Be careful not to touch the printed surface until the ink is dry. If you are printing several sheets of photo paper at one time, remove each sheet of paper as it exits the printer and allow it to dry before stacking. Cover the printed area with plain paper when storing. Related Topic Ordering supplies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.5. Transparency and glossy film types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The printer supports letter and A4-size transparencies and glossy film. Use a transparency or glossy film designed for an ink jet printer such as Lexmark P/N 1402797 (letter size) or 1402798 (A4 size) for transparencies or Lexmark P/N 1402750 (letter size) or 1372361 (A4 size) for glossy film. Do not use transparencies or glossy film designed for copiers and laser printers, or for pen plotters. When handling transparencies and glossy film: Do not touch the side being printed on. Store unused transparencies and film in the original packaging. Do not store transparencies or film in excessively hot or humid environments. Transparencies and glossy film take time to dry. Be careful not to touch the printed surface until the ink is dry. If you are printing several transparencies or sheets of glossy film at one time, remove each transparency or sheet of paper as it exits the printer and allow it to dry before stacking. We recommend using the automatic feeder to print transparencies or glossy film. Related Topics Paper sizes Ordering supplies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.6. Label types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The printer supports letter and A4-size label sheets. Use the automatic feeder or manual feeder to print on labels. For best results, labels used in the printer should meet the following requirements: Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material. Be sure the adhesive does not come in contact with any part of the printer. Use full label sheets. Partially used sheets (with areas exposed by missing labels) can cause labels to peel off during printing and can damage the printer. If the automatic feeder will not feed your labels, try the manual feeder. Related Topics Paper sizes Ordering supplies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.
