Printing Envelopes
Note Envelopes can only be printed from Tray 1. Hewlett-Packard
recommends configuring Tray 1 as a cassette and setting the tray’s
media type to the specific envelope size. See the section later in this
chapter on loading envelopes.
Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing of
envelopes and 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).
● 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 with the flaps facing away from the
printer and toward the right side of the printer.
Printing on Labels
Note For printing labels, Hewlett-Packard recommends configuring Tray 1 as
a cassette and setting the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer
control panel. See the section later in this chapter on configuring input
trays.
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 printer 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.
