Card stock and label guidelines
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A special fuser cleaner should be used for label
applications to optimize feed reliability.
Printing labels on the Lexmark MS710 and MS711 requires a special label fuser cleaner that prevents duplexing.
It is recommended that when you run labels, you install a special oil fuser cleaner, P/N 40X8579. When you order a
new cartridge, make sure the cartridge includes the correct fuser cleaner.
It is possible to duplex certain labels that have been specifically designed for this application. To duplex labels, consult
the Lexmark "Converter Lists" to see which converters have successfully developed this type of label, and you must
install a special fuser wiper. The wax wiper that is used with the Lexmark MS710 and MS711 is P/N 40X8581. Cartridges
designed for duplex label printing contain two wax wipers. Change the wax wiper at the halfway point of your normal
cartridge usage to provide additional cleaning and optimize performance. Contact your Supplies and Label Specialist
for information on oil and wax vinyl label cartridges.
Note: Wax wipers are not recommended when using vinyl labels.
Tray fill line information
Depending on construction, labels and card stock can sometimes be difficult to pick and feed reliably. Performance can
be improved by controlling the number of sheets of media loaded in the tray. There are two fill lines in the tray. The
solid line is the maximum paper fill indicator. No media should be loaded in the tray above this line or paper jams could
occur. The dashed line is the alternate paper fill indicator and should be used if any feed or reliability issues are noted
with specialty media, including labels and card stock. If paper jams occur when completely filling the tray, load the
specialty media only up to the alternate paper fill indicator.
