HP 5100LE manual Labels, Transparencies, Vellum, Envelopes, Envelope construction

	Labels
CAUTION	To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels that are recommended for use in laser printers.
	If you have problems printing labels, use Tray 1 and open the rear output bin.
	Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once.
	When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
	￿	Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s
		maximum temperature.
		Arrangement: Only use labels that have no exposed backing between them. Labels can
		peel off of sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
		Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any
		direction.
	￿	Condition: Do not use labels that have wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
	Transparencies
	￿
	Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s
	maximum temperature. For best results, close the rear output bin to print transparencies to the
	￿top output bin.
CAUTION	To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies that are recommended for use in
	monochrome laser printers.
	If you have problems printing on transparencies, use Tray 1.
	Vellum
	Vellum is typically a special lightweight paper similar to parchment. Print vellum from Tray 1 only,
	and open the rear output bin. Do not print on both sides of vellum.
	Vellum used in the printer must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum
	temperature.
	Envelopes
	Always print envelopes from Tray 1. To help prevent envelopes from wrinkling or jamming, open
	the rear output bin.
	Envelope construction
	Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
	manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
	envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the
	following components:
		Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb), or jamming
		can result.
		Construction: Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) curl,
		and should not contain air. (Envelopes that trap air can cause problems.)
		Condition: Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
	￿Size: Tray 1, the multipurpose tray, handles envelope sizes from 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5
	￿
	￿	inches) to 312 by 470 mm (12.28 by 18.5 inches).
