Additional guidelines for small or narrow paper
Follow these additional guidelines when printing on small or narrow paper:
Feed short-edge first.
In your program, set page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 inch) away from the edges.
To reduce curl and other problems, print heavy paper from tray 1 to the rear output bin. (See “Printing to the rear output bin” on page 37.)

Printing small sizes, custom sizes, or heavy paper

Paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb) should be printed only from tray 1. Custom-size paper can be printed from tray 1, tray 2, or an optional 500-sheet tray.

Note

The printer might print at a slower speed when printing small sizes, custom sizes, and heavy

 

paper.

 

For more information about paper with a special finish, such as laid or bond paper, see “Printing

 

on paper with a special finish” on page 61.

Guidelines for heavy paper

Follow these guidelines when printing on heavy paper:

On the Paper Handling menu, set TRAY TYPE=ROUGH for the tray that you are using.

￿Some heavy paper requires that you also select a higher fuser mode to help prevent unwanted toner from rubbing off onto the paper. At the printer control panel, open the Configure Device menu. On the Print Quality submenu, select FUSER MODES, and then select ROUGH=HIGH 2. The HIGH 2 setting might increase curl and jam problems.

￿Guidelines for custom-size paper

Follow these guidelines when printing on any custom-size paper:

￿Set custom size in the program, in the printer driver, or at the printer control panel. Make sure that you set the switch in the tray to Custom. (See “Setting custom paper sizes” on page 63.)

 

Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches)

 

long.

￿

To reduce curl and other problems, print very small custom-size paper from tray 1 to the rear

output bin. (See “Printing to the rear output bin” on page 37.)

￿

HP does not recommend printing large quantities of small or narrow paper. Printing large

quantities of small or narrow paper can cause toner to leak from the print cartridge and

damage the printer or cause print-quality problems.
