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 your paper will affect the shades of your printed colors.

 

Envelopes

 

 

Note

Envelopes can only be printed from Tray 1. Hewlett-Packard

 

recommends configuring Tray 1 as a cassette and setting the tray’s

 

media size to the specific envelope size. See “Loading envelopes into

 

Tray 1” on page 80.

 

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 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 printer’s fusing

 

process.

 

Envelopes should be loaded with the flaps facing away from the

 

printer and toward the right side of the printer.
