Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper printing on envelopes and to help
prevent printer jams:
●
Do not load more than 10 envelopes into Tray 1.
●
The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond).
●
Envelopes should be flat.
●
Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.
●
Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●
Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat
and pressures of the printer’s fusing process.
●
Envelopes should be loaded face-down with the top of the envelope to the left, and the
short edge feeding into the printer first.
Note
In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed long-edge first to prevent them
from sealing during printing. For long-edge printing, envelopes should be loaded long edge
first, face down. See
Printing envelopes from Tray 1
to change the printer driver’s envelope
orientation.
Labels
Note
In either the application or the printer driver, select Labels as the media type, or configure
Tray 1 for labels. See
When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
●
Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for
0.1 second.
●
Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can
cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive
can also cause damage to printer components.
●
Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
●
Verify that labels lie flat.
●
Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Heavy paper
●
Any tray will print most heavy media that does not exceed 105 g/m
2
(28 lb bond).
●
Use cardstock only in Tray 1 (135 g/m
2
to 216 g/m
2
; 50 to 80 lb cover).
●
In either the software application or the printer driver, select HEAVY (106 g/m
2
to 163 g/
m
2
; 28 to 43 lb bond) or CARDSTOCK (135 g/m
2
to 216 g/m
2
; 50 to 80 lb cover) as the
media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting
affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once
the job has printed. See
CAUTION
In general, do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for
this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive
mechanical wear. However, some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can be safely
used.
