4061-xx0 • Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. • Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive. Card stock Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See "Supported print media" on page 1-8 for information on the preferred weight and for the grain direction of print media. Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity. After printing approximately 10,000 pages of card stock (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding reliability: 1. Print five sheets of paper. 2. Wait approximately five seconds. 3. Print five more sheets of paper. When printing on card stock: • Set the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu to Card Stock from the operator panel, from the printer driver, in the Local Printer Setup Utility, or from MarkVision. • Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause print 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. • We recommend the use of grain short card stock. Storing print media 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 or curl. • Do not place anything on top of paper packages. • Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the printer. 1-18 Service Manual
