HP 2100 manual Printing on Custom-Sized Media or Cardstock

	Printing on Custom-Sized Media or Cardstock
	Postcards, 3 by 5 in. (index) cards, and other custom-sized media can
	be printed from Tray 1. The minimum media size is 76 by 127 mm
	(3 by 5 in.) and the maximum media size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by
	14 in.).
Note	You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a
	length less 178 mm (7 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been
	effected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make
	sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to
	“Printing and Paper Storage Environment” on page 144. Using media
	from another manufacturer may also help.

Custom-Sized Media and Cardstock Guidelines:

λAlways insert the short-edge first into Tray 1. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

λUse the rear output tray to reduce curl.

λDo not print on media smaller than 76 mm wide (3 in.) or 127 mm (5 in.) long.

λSet margins at least 6.4 mm (.25 in.) away from the edges of the media in the software application.

See Appendix B starting on page 139 for media specifications.
