Some states do not allow disclaimer of express or implied warranties in certain transactions; therefore, this statement may not apply to you.

[. . . ] Use only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers. Types of print media 46 Print media tasks and tips Preprinted forms and letterhead · · · Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. Avoid rough or heavily textured surfaces. Use media printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact the supplier. Transparencies · Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. We recommend Lexmark laser printer transparencies: part number 70X7240 for letter size transparencies; part number 12A5010 for A4 size transparencies. · To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on transparencies. Envelopes · · Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper, or with a maximum weight of 28 lb (105 g/m2) Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without: ­ ­ ­ ­ · sealing excessive curling wrinkling releasing hazardous emissions Do not use envelopes that: ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have postage stamps attached Have exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position Are self-sealing If uncertain about the envelopes being considered for use, check with the supplier. · A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperatures may seal envelopes. Labels · Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must also be able to withstand 25 pounds per square inch (psi) (172 kilopascals) pressure. Do not use vinyl labels. · · · Choosing appropriate print media 47 Print media tasks and tips Card stock · · · · Use card stock with a maximum weight of 43 lb (163 g/m2) bond and a minimum size of 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inch). Preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect print quality and cause media handling or jamming problems. Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated. Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer. Storing print media Use the following guidelines to avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality. · · · · · Store all print media in an environment where temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and relative humidity is 40%. Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor surface. If storing individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so edges do not buckle, curl, or become damaged. Store transparencies and envelopes in their original boxes. Loading print media into Tray 1 The printer has two print media sources: Tray 1 and a multi-sheet priority feeder.
