Print on index cards and other small media

Guidelines

•Use only cards and small media that meet the printer paper-size specifications.

•Do not exceed the paper tray capacity when loading media. For more information, see Printer specifications.

•Print quality decreases when printing on plain paper such as index cards. This is to be expected and does not indicate a problem. Printing on plain paper is useful for print jobs, such as drafts, where print quality is not important.
