Printing on special media

This section provides information about how to print on media such as envelopes, postcards, and transparencies.

Printing on envelopes and cards

You can print envelopes and cards from Tray 1. Cards must be at least 3 by 5 inches (76.2 by 127 mm) in size.

Tips for printing envelopes

Observe the following guidelines to avoid jams and wrinkled or torn output:

•Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also avoid envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.

•Use a sturdy envelope of approximately 16 to 27 lb (60 to 101 g/m2) weight. Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.

To load envelopes or cards in Tray 1

1.Lift the output tray and remove all media from the tray. Insert the stack of cards or envelopes into the tray with the flaps facing up and to the right.

2.Slide the paper width and length guides in until they stop at the edges of the envelopes or cards.

3.Lower the output tray. Go to To print envelopes or cards from Tray 1 (Windows) or To print envelopes or cards from Tray 1 (Mac OS).

To print envelopes or cards from Tray 1 (Windows)

1.On the File menu, click Print, and then click Properties. (The actual steps can vary; this is the most common method.)

2.On the Paper/Quality tab, select the paper type you are using in the Type is box (for example, HP Glossy Greeting Card Paper).

3.Select the envelope or card size from the Size is menu.

4.Change any other print settings, if necessary, and then click OK.

5.Send your job to print.

1000 specifications

The HP 1000 was a series of minicomputers produced by Hewlett-Packard from the early 1970s through the late 1980s. Originally introduced in 1973, the HP 1000 aimed to provide high-performance computing capabilities within the reach of small to medium-sized businesses and specialized industries. This machine was distinctive not only for its advanced technology but also for the versatility it offered in various applications.

One of the standout features of the HP 1000 was its architecture. The system utilized a 16-bit word size, which allowed for efficient processing and execution of instructions. The HP 1000 employed a unique architecture known as the "Hewlett-Packard 1000 Microprogrammed System," which enabled it to execute a broad range of instructions efficiently. This made the HP 1000 particularly well-suited for data processing applications, scientific calculations, and high-level computing tasks.

The HP 1000 series was fully modular, allowing users to customize and expand their systems as needed. It supported various input/output devices, memory sizes, and even offered options for solid-state disk drives, which were cutting-edge for that time. The system’s modularity not only provided flexibility but also enhanced maintainability, enabling users to swap out components without significant downtime.

Another key aspect of the HP 1000 was its support for a wide range of programming languages, including FORTRAN, COBOL, and BASIC. This made it appealing to a variety of users, from engineers who needed to perform complex calculations to business analysts focused on data management. Additionally, the HP 1000 was designed to run multiple jobs simultaneously, making it a precursor to modern multitasking operating systems.

Networking capabilities were also an essential characteristic of the HP 1000. The system could be connected to various peripherals and terminals, increasing its functionality in a networked environment. This helped businesses leverage the power of shared resources, facilitating collaborative projects and data sharing across departments.

In conclusion, the HP 1000 series played a significant role in the evolution of computing technology. Its modular design, robust architecture, support for multiple programming languages, and networking capabilities made it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. For over a decade, the HP 1000 series marked an important chapter in the history of computing, laying the groundwork for advancements in minicomputer technology that would follow.
