HP 2200 manual Envelopes, Minimum Maximum

Envelopes

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

!Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.

!Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.

!Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

!Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer.

!Size: You should use only envelopes within the following size ranges.

		Minimum	Maximum
	Tray 1	76 by 127 mm	216 by 356 mm
		(3 by 5 in.)	(8.5 by 14 in.)
Note	Use only Tray 1 to print envelopes.

You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 178 mm (7 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly (see Printing and Paper Storage Environment).

In the printer driver select Optimize for: and choose envelopes in the drop-down box (see Optimizing for Media Types). For non-Windows operating systems, this feature is also available in HP Web JetAdmin.
