Cardstock: Common Issues and Usage Guide
I. Common Cardstock Issues Cardstock is a commonly used office supply for printing, copying, drawing, and other purposes. However, there are some common issues that often arise when using cardstock. Below are detailed descriptions of these issues and their solutions. 1. Cardstock Jam in Printers Cardstock jam in printers is one of the most common issues when using cardstock. This is usually caused by improper paper placement, damp paper, or debris inside the printer. To solve this problem, first turn off the printer, then carefully open the printer's cover and gently remove the jammed cardstock. After removing the paper, check if the paper placement is correct and if there is any debris inside the printer. 2. Wavy Cardstock Wavy cardstock may be caused by the paper being damp or compressed during storage. To prevent waviness, store cardstock in a dry, ventilated place and avoid prolonged compression. Before printing, you can also gently flatten the cardstock to make it more smooth. 3. Incompatibility with Devices Sometimes, purchased cardstock may not be compatible with specific devices, resulting in poor or no printing. To avoid this, first learn about the compatibility requirements of the device and choose cardstock brands and models that are compatible with the device. II. Cardstock Usage Guide To better use cardstock, here are some usage guides: 1. Correct Paper Placement Before inserting cardstock, learn about the printer's paper placement requirements. Generally, you should place the cardstock in the printer in the correct direction and ensure that the paper is neatly arranged without overlapping. Additionally, pay attention to the dryness of the paper and if there is any debris. 2. Choose the Right Type of CardstockChoose the right type of cardstock based on your needs. For example, for printing tasks that require high clarity, choose high-quality cardstock; for tasks that require a large number of prints, choose durable cardstock. Additionally, you can select the appropriate cardstock based on parameters such as color and thickness.
3. Regularly Clean the Printer To maintain the normal operation of the printer and extend its service life, it is necessary to regularly clean the printer. During cleaning, do not use water or chemical cleaners to avoid damaging the printer. You can use professional printer cleaner or a clean cloth for cleaning.
