Note

CAUTION

When duplex printing on the HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 all-in-one, load preprinted forms and letterhead into tray 2 first side up, top edge toward the back of the tray. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into tray 1, load them with the first side down, bottom edge in first.

When simplex (1-sided) printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into tray 2 face- down with the top edge of the page toward the device. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into tray 1, place them in the tray with the side to be printed on facing up, and top, short edge in first.

Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed only from tray 1. Set the tray media size to the specific envelope size.

Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper printing on envelopes and to help prevent printer jams:

Do not load more than 10 envelopes into tray 1.

The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond).

Envelopes should be flat.

Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.

Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat and pressures of the device fusing process.

Envelopes should be loaded face-up with the top of the envelope to the left, and the short edge feeding into the device first.

Heavy paper

Any tray will print most heavy media that does not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond).

Use cardstock only in tray 1 (135 g/m2 to 216 g/m2; 50 to 80 lb cover).

In either the software application or the printer driver, select Heavy (106 g/m2 to 163 g/ m2; 28 to 43 lb bond) or Cardstock (135 g/m2 to 216 g/m2; 50 to 80 lb cover) as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings after the job has printed.

In general, do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear. However, some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can be safely used.
