Printing Transparencies, Labels and Special
Paper
You can print on transparencies, glossy paper, labels, heavy stock
and other special paper in the same way that you print on ordinary
paper with the HP DeskJet 340 printer.
When using transparencies and glossy paper
• Load transparencies with the rough side up and the paper strip
edge first.
• Do not load more than 10 transparencies into the sheet feeder.
• Use only HP Premium transparencies and glossy paper.
• Keep in mind that, with transparencies and glossy paper, the ink
needs more time to dry.
–
While a sheet is drying, the Paper Feed light remains lit.
– Your printer software automatically determines the extra
time needed for drying. A second sheet will not be printed
if this sheet would exit the printer on top of a wet one.
– Alternatively, you can turn off the automatic delay and
remove the wet sheet by hand.
Place wet sheets in a drying area, out of direct sunlight.
When using heavy stock and other special paper
If you are having difficulty printing on heavy stock, you can remove
the portable sheet feeder and insert the sheet by hand.
Paper Types Not Supported
Do not use the following :
•
paper with a weight greater than 24 lb. (90 g/m 2 ) or
• less than 16 lb. (60 g/m 2 )
• paper with cutouts or perforations
• paper that is torn, wrinkled, or has curled edges, or that is
heavily textured or embossed
• envelopes
• transparencies other than HP Premium transparencies
• multiple part forms
Feeding Paper Manually
You may find that the paper you have loaded into the portable sheet
feeder is not feeding well into the printer. In such cases you may
wish to remove the portable sheet feeder and try feeding each sheet
by hand. See “Removing the Portable Sheet Feeder” at the end of
this chapter.
To feed a sheet into the printer:
1
Insert the sheet into
the paper feed slot
with the edge of the
paper against the
alignment mark.
Always insert the
sheet with the print
side up. Release the
sheet when the
printer pulls it in.
2 The printer will print on this sheet and eject it. The Paper Feed
light will blink if the print job requires you to insert another
sheet.
If you expect to feed many pages by hand, select the manual
feeding option in the software.
When you reattach the portable sheet feeder, make sure that the
portable sheet feeder is selected in the software.
If manual feed is selected, the sheet feeder will not operate.
