Envelopes
●
Use only tray 1 to print envelopes. Choose envelopes in the printer driver (see
●
Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in) curl, and should not
contain air.
●
Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must
use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the device. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and might even damage the fuser.
●
For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in) from the edges of the
envelope. Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.
●
The device might print at a slower speed when printing envelopes. In addition, printing
performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes
before purchasing a large quantity.
●
Envelopes with double-side seam-construction are more likely to wrinkle. If you print envelopes
with double-side seams, use only envelopes in which the seam extends all the way to the corner
of the envelope.
WARNING!
Never use envelopes that contain coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives,
or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes.
Labels
●
Print labels from tray 1.
●
Use only labels specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
●
Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.
●
Only use labels with no exposed backing between them.
●
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
●
Remove label sheets from the output bin as they are printed to prevent them from sticking
together.
●
Do not feed a sheet of labels through the device more than once. The adhesive backing is
designed for one pass through the device.
●
Do not print on both sides of labels.
