HP How to Load Envelopes into Printers and Print Envelopes

Printing envelopes

WARNING!

CAUTION

NOTE

You can print on envelopes from tray 1 or the optional envelope feeder. Tray 1 holds up to

10 envelopes and supports standard or custom sizes. The optional envelope feeder holds up to 75 envelopes and supports only standard envelope sizes.

For printing on any size of envelope, make sure to set the margins in your program at least 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edge of the envelope.

Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing a large quantity. For envelope specifications, see Envelopes.

Never use envelopes that contain coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes.

Envelopes that contain -or- have clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer.To avoid jamming and possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope.Before you load envelopes, make that sure they are flat and are not damaged or stuck together. Do not use envelopes that have pressure-sensitive adhesive.

The printer might print at a slower speed when printing envelopes.

Loading envelopes in tray 1

Many types of envelopes can be printed on from tray 1. Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray. See Envelopes for specifications.

To load envelopes in tray 1

1.Open tray 1, but do not pull out the extension. Most envelopes feed best without the extension. However, oversize envelopes might need the extension.

2.Load up to 10 envelopes in the center of tray 1 with the front side facing up, and the postage-end toward the printer. Slide the envelopes into the printer as far as they will go without forcing them.
