Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can only be printed from Tray 1. Hewlett-Packard recommends configuring Tray 1 as a cassette and setting the tray’s media type to the specific envelope size. See the section later in this chapter on loading envelopes.

Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing of envelopes and 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).

●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 printer’s fusing process.

●Envelopes should be loaded with the flaps facing away from the printer and toward the right side of the printer.

Printing on Labels

For printing labels, Hewlett-Packard recommends configuring Tray 1 as a cassette and setting the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See the section later in this chapter on configuring input trays.

When printing labels, use the following guidelines:

●Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

●Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.

●Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.

●Verify that labels lie flat.

●Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
