Card stock guidelines

Set the size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the card stock loaded in the tray.
Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or other paper feed problems.
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
Use grain short card stock when possible.
Flex, fan, and align the card stock before loading.
Do not use creased card stock. It may cause paper jams.
Smoothness of 50 Sheffield points is optimal for color laser printers.
Smoothness of 150–250 Sheffield points is optimal for mono laser printers.
Do not use card stock that has offset powder on the surface.
