Printing on special media

Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.

Transparencies

When printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:

●Handle transparencies using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.

●Use only overhead transparencies recommended for use in this printer. Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Transparencies with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.

●In either the software application or the printer driver, select TRANSPARENCY as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for transparencies.

CAUTION

Transparencies not designed for LaserJet printing will melt in the printer, causing damage to

 

the printer. Do not use transparencies designed for monochrome printing.

Note

Note

Glossy paper

●In either the software application or the driver, select Glossy as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for glossy paper.

Select Glossy for media weights up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond). Select Heavy glossy for media weights up to 120 g/m2 (32 lb bond).

●Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring trays for more information.

Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Soft Gloss paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results. If HP Color LaserJet Soft Gloss paper is not used with this printer, print quality may be compromised.

Colored paper

●Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.

●Pigments used must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second without deterioration.

●Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

●The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of the paper will affect the shades of the printed colors.

Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1. Set the tray’s media size to the specific envelope size. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1.
