Print on index cards and other small media
Guidelines
• Use only cards and small media that meet the printer paper-size specifications.
• Do not exceed the paper tray capacity when loading media. For more information,
see
Printer specifications .
• Print quality decreases when printing on plain paper such as index cards. This is to
be expected and does not indicate a problem. Printing on plain paper is useful for
print jobs, such as drafts, where print quality is not important.
