Understanding paper and specialty media guidelines 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 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 MFP before purchasing a large quantity. See Print media weights for information on the preferred weight of media. When printing on card stock: • Set the Paper Type in the Paper Menu to Card Stock from the operator panel, from the MFP driver, or from MarkVision Professional. Set the Paper Weight to CardStock Weight, and set the CardStock Weight to Normal or Heavy. Set this from the operator panel, the MFP driver, or from MarkVision Professional. Select Heavy for card stock weighing more than 163 g/m2 (90 lb). • Be aware that 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 MFP. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the MFP. • The use of grain long card stock is recommended. Storing print media Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality. • For best results, store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with a relative humidity of 40 to 60%. • Store cartons of media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor. • When storing individual packages of media 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 the media packages. • Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the MFP. Avoiding jams Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble-free printing. See Supported print media for more information. Note: Try a limited sample of any print media you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing large quantities. By selecting the appropriate print media and loading it properly, you can avoid most jams.

Understanding paper and specialty media guidelines

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

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 MFP before purchasing a large quantity.

See

Print media weights

for information on the preferred weight of media.

When printing on card stock:

•

Set the Paper Type in the Paper Menu to Card Stock from the operator panel, from the MFP driver, or from

MarkVision Professional. Set the Paper Weight to CardStock Weight, and set the CardStock Weight to Normal or

Heavy. Set this from the operator panel, the MFP driver, or from MarkVision Professional. Select Heavy for card

stock weighing more than 163 g/m

(90 lb).

•

Be aware that 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 MFP. Preprinting

introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the MFP.

•

The use of grain long card stock is recommended.

Storing print media

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

•

For best results, store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the

relative humidity is 40%.

Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with a relative

humidity of 40 to 60%.

•

Store cartons of media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

•

When storing individual packages of media 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 the media packages.

•

Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the MFP.

Avoiding jams

Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble-free printing. See

Supported print media

for more information.

Note:

Try a limited sample of any print media you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing

large quantities.
