Chapter 4: Using Print Materials

Using Your Printer

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as 
the orientation of paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and 
texture, that can significantly affect the print quality. See page 108 
for information on the preferred weight of print materials.

When printing on card stock:

Do not use preprinted card stock. 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.

When printing on card stock, be sure to select

Index cards measuring 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.) should be 
fed through the manual feed slot or optional tray 2.

For more information, refer to the Card Stock & Labels Guide, which 
is available from Lexmark.

Transparencies automatically feed from the standard input tray or 
the optional tray 2. Some brands of transparencies may require 
manual feeding. Print quality and durability depends on the 
transparency used. Transparency size is limited to letter-size and 
A4-size.

When printing on transparencies:

Use only specially coated transparencies specifically 
designed for use in inkjet printers.

Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering 
using with the printer before buying large quantities.

Do not use transparencies with paper backing sheets.
