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.
