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.

•Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

•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. Media in the priority feeder will be picked first. After the supply of media has been used up, media will be picked from Tray 1
