Paper Pointers

PRINTING NONSTANDARD CARDS

If the dimensions of your card aren’t listed in the Paper Size box, print it as for nonstandard paper sizes (page 14).

HOW THICK IS

TOO THICK?

You’ll find recommended media weights on page 49. If you want to use another weight card stock, give it a try.

CARD STOCK

By mail, or in a paper-specialty store, you can choose from literally hundreds of cards with preprinted designs for every occasion—you just add your own personal message. You’ll also find letter-sized sheets of perforated business cards. Postcards come this way, too. Some of the cards have preprinted designs for added style.

CARDS

Use your printer to print on index cards, recipe cards, postcards, business cards—any card size included in the Paper Size list on the Setup tab shown below. (You can print on other-sized cards, too, as described on page 14.)

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

Select a card size.

2Slide out the IN drawer, slide out the green paper adjusters, and flip up the OUT tray.

3Place a stack of up to 30 cards (6 mm or 1/4 inch) in the drawer.

Make sure the orientation of the cards matches the orientation you’ve selected in your software program.
