Choosing card stock

After continuously printing approximately 10,000 page sides of labels (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding reliability:

1Print five sheets of paper.

2Wait approximately five seconds.

3Print five more sheets of paper.

Choosing card stock

Card stock is single-ply and has many properties. The orientation of paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and texture can all affect printing on card stock. See Print material specifications for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print materials.

When printing on card stock:

Be sure to select Card Stock in the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu. (See Paper Type for detailed information about these settings.)

Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause paper handling or jamming problems.

Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.

After printing approximately 10,000 page sides of card stock (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding reliability:

3Print five more sheets of paper.

Choosing transparencies

The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.

The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 212°C (414°F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose feeder and all standard and optional trays, except the 2000-sheet drawer, for all printer models. See Print material specifications for information about transparency compatibility with output options.

Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause poor print quality.
