Printing on special media
Transparencies
●
Handle transparencies by the edges. Oils from your fingers can cause print-quality problems.
●
Use only overhead transparencies recommended for use in this printer. Hewlett-Packard
recommends using HP Color LaserJet Transparencies with this printer. HP products are designed
to work together for optimum printing results.
●
In either the software program or the printer driver, select Transparency as the media type, or
print from a tray that is configured for transparencies.
CAUTION
Transparencies that are not designed for laser printing might melt in the printer,
causing damage to the printer.
Glossy paper
●
In either the software program or the driver, select GLOSSY as the media type, or print from a tray
that is configured for glossy paper.
●
Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer to its original settings once the
job has printed. See
for more information.
Colored paper
●
Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
●
Pigments used must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 190°C (374°F) for 0.1
second without deterioration.
●
Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
●
The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to
produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of the paper will affect the shades of the printed
colors.
Envelopes
Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper printing on envelopes and to help prevent printer
jams:
●
In either the software program or the printer driver, select Envelope as the media type, or configure
tray 1 for envelopes. See
●
The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond).
●
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.
