HP 8000 s manual Recycled Media, Envelopes

Recycled Media

Choose recycled media that meets the same specifications as standard paper (see “Supported Media Weights and Sizes for Input Trays” earlier in this chapter). HP recommends that recycled media contain no more than five percent ground wood.

Envelopes

Envelopes can only be printed from tray 1. The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond; otherwise, jamming might occur. For more information on printing envelopes, see “Printing Envelopes from Tray 1” later in this chapter.

zEnvelopes should lie flat, with less than 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) curl.

zOutput envelopes to the left (face-up) output bin rather than to the top (face-down) output bin to reduce curl.

zThe optional multi-bin mailbox does not support envelopes except in its left (face-up) output bin.

zDo not use envelopes with windows or clasps.

zMake sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

zEnvelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap must use adhesives compatible with the printer's fusing temperatures (approximately 374° F, or 190° C). Extra flaps or strips can result in wrinkling or creasing, and can cause jamming.

zAll folds must be well scored and sharply creased.

zEnvelopes must be tightly constructed and should not contain air. Envelopes that contain air may wrinkle as they pass through the printer.
