Printing on Special Media

Printing Letterhead and Preprinted Forms

If letterhead and forms will be printed regularly, it may be useful to reserve and lock-out a tray for these special papers. If letterhead and form printing is only occasional, Tray 1 can be used to easily print these special papers.

Regular Printing on Special Paper

The HP LaserJet 5/5M printer can be set to recognize a paper source (such as Tray 1) as being reserved for letterhead, preprinted forms, or other type of special paper. This is helpful when several multi-page jobs print on more than one type of media. For instance, if a letter is longer than one page, the first page may be printed on letterhead and subsequent pages on regular paper.

If the printer is networked, locking-out the tray in which the preprinted paper is loaded will remove the tray from the automatic selection during printing. The printer will not draw from a reserved tray unless specifically requested to do so. This may help prevent other users from accidentally printing their jobs on the letterhead or forms. To print from the reserved tray it must be selected from your software application.

To reserve a tray for a specified paper type, see the section “Reserving or Locking-out Trays,” earlier in this chapter.
