HP Pro 4300 C9H70UT C9H70UT#ABA Card stock and heavy paper, Envelope margins, Envelope storage

Envelope margins

The following table gives typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or DL envelope.

			Type of address	Top margin	Left margin
			Return address	15 mm (0.6 inches)	15 mm (0.6 inches)
			Delivery address	51 mm (2 inches)	89 mm (3.5 inches)
Hint	For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edges of the
			envelope.
		Envelope storage
		Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored
		flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope might wrinkle
		during printing.

	Card stock and heavy paper
	Many types of card stock can be printed from tray 1, including index cards and postcards. Some
	card stock performs well because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser
	printer.
	For optimum printer performance, do not use paper that is heavier than 200 g/m2 (53 lb) in tray 1
	or 120 g/m2 (32 lb) in other trays. Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking
	problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
	The stacker and stapler/stacker do not support card stock.
	Do not attempt to duplex card stock or paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (35 lb), or leave the printer
CAUTION
	default set to DUPLEX=ON. Damage to the printer might result.
	Do not attempt to use the stacker or stapler/stacker with card stock.
Note	Printing on heavier paper might be possible if the tray is not filled to capacity, and short-grain
	paper with a smoothness rating of 100 to 180 Sheffield is used.

Card stock construction

●Smoothness: Card stock should have smoothness in the range of 100 to 180 Sheffield.

●Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl. It should be short-grain paper to improve feeding and reduce wear on the printer.

●Condition: Make sure that card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

●Sizes: Use only card stock within the following size ranges:

•minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches)

•maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches)

Before loading card stock in tray 1, make sure that it is regular in shape and not damaged. Also, make sure that the cards are not stuck together.

Card stock guidelines

●If cards curl or jam, try printing from tray 1 and opening the rear output bin.

●Set margins at least 6 mm (0.24 inch) away from the edges of the paper.
