Card Stock Guidelines Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the orientation of paper fibers and texture, that can significantly affect the print quality. Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity. See page 116 for information on the preferred weight of print materials. Note: When printing on card stock, be sure to set the PAPER TYPE to Card Stock from the printer driver, and from either the operator panel or from MarkVision. When printing on card stock: • Use card stock that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. • Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components in the printer. • Do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. It may cause paper jams. • We recommend the use of grain short card stock. 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 5 sheets of paper. 2 Wait approximately 5 seconds. 3 Print 5 more sheets of paper. For detailed information on card stock printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the CD. 122 Chapter 4: Using Print Materials
