| Card stock and heavy media |
| Many types of card stock can be printed 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 | Printing on heavier paper may be possible if the tray is not filled to |
| capacity, and paper with a smoothness rating of |
