Printing the Brochure

Recommended steps to ensure consistent results.

Recommended Paper

Any 8.5" x 11" cardstock 160-190 GSM should work. We used this one:

Neenah Index Cardstock, 8.5" x 11", 90 lb/163 gsm, White, Lightweight, 94 Brightness, 300 Sheets (91437)

General Notes

• Margins are baked into the design. Always print at 100%.
• For best results, use the bypass tray (Tray 5)
  • Bypasses any dirty rollers on the inside of the printer
  • Can print 20-30 brochures at a time using bypass

1. Connect to PS:1's WiFi to detect the printer
