When printing on card stock:
•
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock from the printer driver.
•
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
•
Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
•
We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
•
Load card stock into the manual bypass feeder with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge going
in first.
