Card Stock
Many types of card stock may printed from Tray 1, including Rolodex cards, index cards (3 x 5 in.), and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited to feeding through a laser printer.

Card Stock Guidelines
∙Always insert card stock lengthwise (vertically) into Tray 1. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper horizontally may cause a paper jam.
∙Use the rear output tray to reduce excessive curl.
∙Do not print on card stock smaller than 3 inches wide (76.2 mm) or 5 inches tall (127 mm).
∙Set margins at least 0.14 inch (6.4 mm) away from the edges of the media.
