Print media tasks and tips
Card stock
• Use card stock with a maximum weight of 43 lb (163 g/m
2
) bond and a minimum size of 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inch).
• Preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect 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.
Storing print media
Use the following guidelines to avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality.
• Store all print media in an environment where temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and relative humidity is
40%.
• Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor surface.
• If storing individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so edges do
not buckle, curl, or become damaged.
• Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
• Store transparencies and envelopes in their original boxes.
