Handy Hints

FOLLOW YOUR

SOFTWARE

The software program you’re using might require special settings before it’ll print banners cor- rectly on your printer. Check out the banner information on either the How do I? tab or on the Troubleshooting tab in the HP Toolbox for information regard- ing your speciﬁc soft- ware program.

BANNERS

We encourage you to use HP Banner Paper for the very best results. However, if you use computer or z-fold paper for your banners, we recommend that you use 20-pound or 75 gsm paper. Always do a good job of fanning the paper before loading it.

1In the HP print settings box, click the Setup tab and then click Banner. Then, in the Paper Size box, select Letter or A4. (See page 9 for how to get to the HP print settings box.)

Click Banner.

Paper Pointers

YOUR BEST BET

If you use HP Banner Paper, your banners will print with fewer paper jams and with brighter color and denser blacks. It’s easy to use, too—you don’t have to tear off those pesky perfo- rated strips! Look for it at a large ofﬁce supply store, or call HP Direct (see page 53).

BANNER PAPER THAT WON’T WORK

Avoid coated paper— for example, paper that’s colored on one side and not the other.

2Flip the banner switch up.

The banner light goes on and the OUT tray lifts slightly, enabling the printer to pick up the banner paper.

Banner light on

Flip the banner switch up.

3Remove all paper from the IN drawer.
