Selecting Card Stock
v Select only card stock recommended for use in electrophotographic or laser
printers, and store them according to the manufacturers recommendations.
v Specify CARD as the media type for the tray in the Paper Menu. See
Defining the Media Size and Type for a Tray on page 47.
v The cardstock must be stable at 392°F (200°C). Do not use card stock that
emits hazardous emissions when heated.
v Note that the creased, preprinted, and perforated card stock increases the
likelihood of jams.
Loading Paper and Envelopes into the Printer
You need to add paper to the printer whenever the printer issues a message
to prompt you. You can also add paper anytime the READY message is
displayed, the printer is off, or the printer is offline. It is possible to add paper
while the printer is printing, but only to trays that are below the tray the
printer is drawing its paper from. Otherwise jams will occur. For example, if
you have three 550-sheet trays installed and the printer is drawing paper from
Tray 2 (the middle tray), you can add paper to Tray 3 (the bottom tray), but
not Tray 1 or Tray 2.
Loading the 550-Sheet Paper Trays
1. See Selecting Paper and Other Printable Material on page 31 for
information on media you can load.
2. Lift the paper tray and slide it out of the printer. Place the paper tray on
a flat surface.
