Printing on special media

This section provides information on how to print on media such as
envelopes, postcards, and transparencies.

Printing envelopes and cards

You can print envelopes and cards from Tray 1. Cards must be at least
4 by 6 in (101.6 by 152.4 mm) in size. When you are printing on thicker
media, use the rear manual feed.

To print envelopes or cards from Tray 1

1

Open the printer driver.

2

On the Setup tab, select the paper type you are using. For
example, if you are printing on HP glossy Greeting Card Paper,
select this from the menu.

3

Select the envelope or card size from the Paper Size menu.

4

Lift the output tray and remove all of the paper from Tray 1.

5

Insert the stack of cards or envelopes into the tray.

6

Slide the paper width and length guides in until they stop at the
edges of the envelopes or cards.

7

Lower the output tray, and then send your job to print.

Tips for printing envelopes

Observe the following guidelines to avoid jams and wrinkled or torn
output:

l

Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives,
clasps, or windows. Also avoid envelopes with thick, irregular, or
curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise
damaged.

l

Use a sturdy envelope of approximately 16 to 27 lb (60 to 101 gsm)
weight. Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds
are sharply creased.

Be sure to load envelopes into Tray 1 with the flaps facing up and to the
right.
