Printing on special media
Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.
NOTE Special media such as envelopes, transparencies,
To print on any special media, use the following procedure:
1.Load the media in the paper tray.
2.When the printer prompts you for the paper type, select the correct media type for the paper loaded in the tray. For example, select GLOSSY
3.In the software application or the printer driver, set the media type to match the media type that is loaded in the paper tray.
NOTE For the best print quality, always verify that the media type selected on the printer control panel and the media type selected in the application or printer driver match the type of media loaded in the tray.
TransparenciesWhen printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:
●Handle transparencies using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.
●Use only overhead transparencies recommended for use in this printer.
●In either the software application or the driver, select TRANSPARENCY as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for transparencies.
For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.
CAUTION Transparencies not designed for LaserJet printing might melt in the printer or wrap around the fuser, causing damage to the printer.
Glossy paper●In either the software application or the driver, select GLOSSY
●Use the control panel to set the media type to GLOSSY
●Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays for more information.
