Setting for thicker card stock

Your machine should be able to handle a 110gsm card stock. In your computer printer settings you should be able to change the paper type to either card or heavy/ thicker paper. If the card stock is quite stiff your machine will not be able to bend it around the paper feed roller regardless of your print settings.

Paper types you can use:

Plain paper - 20 to 24 lb / 75 to 90 gsm

Photo paper - 6.5 to 12 mils (up to 290 gsm)

Card stock - 110 lb / 200 gsm, max

Envelopes - 20 to 24 lb / 75 to 90 gsm

Transparencies - inkjet variety with white stripe

Labels - all commercially available inkjet varieties on 8.5 x 11-in. or A4 sheets

There is no setting to allow printing of thicker paper stock.

Hello,

The card stock prints ok but not regular paper because your pickup roller and separation pad are worn down and need to be replaced. The card stock still picks up because it is much thicker than the paper so the roller can grab it better. You need to get a roller kit part # RK-1320. We carry them at: http://www.ccl-la.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_41_42&products_id=71 if you need to order the kit. We also offer full tech support after the sale.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

Lubricate the print head shaft. Not too much as it will collect dust.

adjust your thickness guage as card stock is 3 or 4 times thicker than a 20lb plain paper stock. Here is link to a helpful media guide for HP printers.

printer only handles up to 120gsm,any thicker will jam.

Nothing to adjust feed mechanics. If it's temporaly print, you must feeed paper 1 by 1, and when printer grab paper, push paper by hand. If it's routine print, you can adjust the pick up rubber at paper feedr mechanic. Add double tape ( 1 mm, soft) below top rubber. I have done it, and printer can grab/feed paper up to 350 grams.

Your pickup tires on the printer may be worn, how many prints have you made on this printer. it may be time for a maint. kit.

I sort of solved my ghosting problem by selecting print, set up, and then under media type selected thicker paper. This apparently pulls the card stock through at a slower rate which helped tremendously. One of my documents turned out perfect and the other "ghosted" just a little.

Hi Harold,

Most laser printers automatically adjust not the temperature so much as the speed at which the media travels through the fuser when thicker stock is used.

The important thing here is to make sure that when you are using card stock that you insure that the printer is set for the correct "PAPER TYPE" from the tray you are using.

When the paper type is set to card stock, you should notice that the media will print somewhat slower, thus giving the fuser the ability to achieve the correct fusing temperature through the thicker stock.

Good luck
