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. You may only print card stock from the multipurpose feeder. Card stock must always exit to the rear output bin. For detailed information on card stock printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com. Do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. 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 printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer. We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
