Card stock
Note: Load card stock in tray 1 only. Do not load more than 50 sheets of card
stock into tray 1. Loading more than 50 sheets of card stock or using the
wrong paper source may cause paper jams or a failure to feed.
You can load a small quantity of heavier paper in tray 1. The properties of the card stock you
choose—such as the orientation of the paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and
texture—can affect the print quality.
For optimum results, we recommend using:
• Springhill Index Plus 90 lb card stock.
Card stock must be able to withstand temperatures up to 175°C (347°F) without melting or
releasing hazardous emissions.
For more information on card stock your printer supports, refer to the Card Stock & Label
Guide on the Drivers CD
Always set the Paper Type to Card Stock when printing on heavier paper. The printer then
adjusts the fuser temperature and engine speed to ensure the best print quality.
For card stock loading instructions, see Loading paper, card stock, or labels.
