I have a BrotherMFC-210C and it works just fine if I only want to print documents on regular paper. But if I want to print business cards it JAMS and most recently I want to make my own greeting card and it would not pick the paper up!!!!!! I cant find anything in my manual about making adjustments for different thickness'.
Anyone with ANY knowledge is greatly appreciated!
Nancy A lot of printers have difficulty with card - especially those that have tight bends on the paper feed path. Your printer manual will probably tell you the heaviest grade of paper it can take (e.g. 200gsm) and anything heavier/thicker is going to be a problem. You MAY have some success, gently nudging the card towards the printer during pick-up, but overthick stock WILL jam any printer not designed to take it. Be warned.Oh thanks so much! I have tried to prompt and push... no avail... What can I do? I wanted to make Christmas presents! Do I own a boat anchor?
No, you own a printer that has limitations as Rob said.

Here are the details if you lost the manual. You may want to contact Brother directly if the info is not there:

Is it possible to have a printer that can fax, copy, and print more than just docs? Yes, indeed. I have a Lexmark 4200 series that does all that plus scan. One GREAT thing about it is that you can use the fax and copy functions with or WITHOUT a PC. Of course, printing and scanning does require the PC. Shop around. There are several brands that will do the same thing.HP make a LARGE variety in every price range as well. yoou guys are great
thanks again!
