media, including transparencies, envelopes, and custom-made paper.
It is recommended that you use HP media or media meeting HP’s

To print on special media
1 Set the paper path lever to the lower position to use the front
paper output slot for a straight-through paper path. This is
important when printing media such as postcards,
transparencies, labels, envelopes, and heavy paper (28- to 42-lb
[100- to 157-g/m
2 ] bond weight).
2 Adjust the guides to the approximate size of media you are using.
3 Insert the media print side forward and top side down into the
single-sheet input slot or the paper input bin.
4 Readjust the guides to center the media.
5 Set the correct margins, paper size, and orientation in your
software.

Additional tips for custom sizes
● Do not print onto media smaller than 3 inches (76.2 mm) wide or
5 inches (127 mm) tall.
● Set margins of at least 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) in your software.
● Always insert media vertically (portrait orientation) into the
HP LaserJet 3150 product. If you want to print in landscape
mode, make this selection through your software.
