Printing on special media
Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.
NOTE Special media such as envelopes, transparencies, custom-size media, or heavy
media greater than 120 g/m
2
should only be used in Tray 1.
To print on any special media, use the following procedure:
1. Load the media in Tray 1.
2. When the printer prompts you for the paper type, select the correct media type for the media
loaded in the tray. For example, select GLOSSY 75-105 G/M2 when loading HP Color LaserJet
Glossy Photo Paper.
3. In the software application or the printer driver, set the media type to match the media type that
is loaded in the media tray.
NOTE For the best print quality, always verify that the media type selected on the printer
control panel and the media type selected in the application or printer driver match the type of
media loaded in the tray.
Transparencies
When printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:
●
Handle transparencies using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on the transparency
can cause print quality problems.
●
Use only overhead transparencies recommended for use in this printer. Hewlett-Packard
recommends using HP Color LaserJet Transparencies. HP products are designed to work
together for optimum printing results.
●
In either the software application or the driver, select TRANSPARENCY as the media type, or
print from a tray that is configured for transparencies.
CAUTION Transparencies not designed for HP Color LaserJet printing might melt in the
printer or wrap around the fuser, causing damage to the printer.
Glossy paper
●
In either the software application or the driver, select GLOSSY 75-105 G/M2, HEAVY GLOSSY,
or INTERMEDIATE90-104 as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for glossy
paper.
●
Use the control panel to set the media type to GLOSSY 75-105 G/M2 for the input tray being
used.
●
Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer to its original settings once
the job has printed.
