Printing from Windows

To print from Windows

1.Make sure that print media is loaded in the printer.

2.At your computer, open a document.

3.On the File menu, click Page Setup or a similar command. Make sure that the settings are correct for this document.

4.From the File menu, click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command. The Print dialog box opens.

5.Select this printer and change settings as necessary. Do not change any settings, such as page size or orientation, that you set in the Page Setup dialog box.

6.If this print job is for a standard size and weight of paper, you probably do not need to change the Source is (tray), Type is, or Size is settings, and you can go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 7.

7.If this print job is to be printed on a non-standard size or weight of paper, select how the printer pulls paper.

●To print by source (tray), select the tray in the Print dialog box, if possible.

●To print by source (tray) when this setting is not available in the Print dialog box, click Properties, and on the Paper tab, select the tray in the Source is field.

●To print by type or size, click Properties and, on the Paper tab, select the type or size in the Type is or Size is field. (For some paper, such as letterhead, labels, glossy paper, or photo paper, you will set both the type and size.)

Note	Always print by type for special print media such as labels or transparencies. Use only
	transparencies that are designed for use with HP color LaserJet printers. Inkjet and
	monochrome transparencies are not supported for this device.
	8.	If you have not yet done so, click Properties. The printer driver opens.
	9.	On the various tabs, set any settings that you want that did not appear in the Page
		Setup or Print dialog box. For more information about printer-driver settings, see the
		printer driver online Help.
	10.	By default, the printer prints to the top output bin, which is the best location for most print
		jobs, including transparencies. For labels, heavy paper, or other special print media,
		lower the rear output door on the printer.
	11.	Select the Print command to print the job.
