CAUTION
Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing on envelopes and help prevent printer jams:
●Do not load more than 20 envelopes into Tray 1.
●The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 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
●Envelopes should be loaded
In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed
For printing labels, set the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See 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
●Verify that labels lie flat.
●Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Heavy paper●Any of the trays will print most heavy media that does not excede 163 g/m2 (47 lb bond).
●For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to set the media type for the tray to HEAVY (106 g/m2 to 163 g/m2).
●Use card stock only in Tray 1 (163 g/m2 to 200 g/m2).
●In either the software application or the driver, select HEAVY or CARDSTOCK as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper.
●Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays.
In general do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear. However, some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can be safely used.
