Lexmark Dot Matrix Compatibility Guide

• Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make the labels liquid‑resistant.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the label sheets.
When printing on card stock:
• Select the appropriate paper texture setting.
• For the best print quality, always set Paper Type to Card Stock.
• Use grain short card stock when possible.
• Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or
other paper‑handling problems.
For more information, see “Pick roller technology” on page 11.
