Print media tasks and tips

Card stock
Preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause
media handling or jamming problems.
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the
printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
Use card stock with a maximum weight of 163 g/m
2
and a minimum size of 76 x 127 mm
(3 x 5 in.).
Tips on storing print media and supplies
Storing paper
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.
Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the
relative humidity is 40%.
Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.
If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a
flat surface so the edges do not buckle, curl, or become damaged.
Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
Storing supplies
Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their
original packaging until you are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:
Direct sunlight
Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)
High humidity (above 80%)
Salty air
Corrosive gases
Heavy dust
