Card stock and heavy media, Card stock construction

Card stock and heavy media

You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer.

For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 42 lb (157 g/m2). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.

Note	You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if you use
	paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
