Printing on special media
Your printer is designed to print on a variety of media, including
transparencies, envelopes, and custom-made paper. It is
recommended that you use media that meets HP specifications. See
appendix C for more information.
1 Set the paper path lever to the lower position to use the heavy
media output slot for a straight-through paper path. This is
important when printing media such as postcards,
transparencies, labels, envelopes, and heavy paper (100- to 157-
g/m
2
[28- to 42-lb] bond weight).
2 Adjust the paper 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 paper guides to center the media.
5 Set the correct margins, paper size, and orientation in your
software.
6 Choose Print in your software.
Additional tips for custom sizes
● Do not print on media smaller than 76.2 mm (3 in) wide or 127
mm (5 in) tall.
● Set margins of at least 6.4 mm (.25 in) in your software.
● Always insert media lengthwise (vertically) into the printer. If you
want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your
software.
