Handy Hints

FOLLOW YOUR SOFTWARE

If your software program includes an envelope printing feature, follow those instructions instead of the procedure provided here.

ENVELOPES

Your printer provides two methods for printing envelopes:

■If you’re printing a single envelope, you can use the single-envelope slot and leave your paper in the IN drawer. This allows you to print the envelope and then a letter.

■If you’re printing a stack of envelopes, use the IN drawer.

How to Print a Single Envelope

1In the HP print settings box, click the Setup tab, then select an envelope size in the Paper Size box. (See page 9 for how to get to the HP print settings box.)
