NOTE Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Glossy Photo Paper and soft
glossy papers designed for use in HP Color LaserJet printers. HP products are designed to
work together for optimum printing results. If other types of glossy media are used, print
quality could be compromised.
Colored paper
●
Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
●
Pigments used in colored media must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of
195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second without deterioration.
●
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
NOTE Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1. Set the tray’s media size to the specific
envelope size.
Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing on envelopes and help prevent
printer jams:
●
Do not load more than 20 envelopes into Tray 1.
●
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.
●
Envelopes should be loaded face-down and with the postage end feeding into the printer first.
Labels
NOTE For printing labels, set the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel.
When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
●
Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 195°C (383°F) for
0.1 second.
●
Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause
labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also
cause damage to printer components.
● Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
●
Verify that the labels lie flat.
●
Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
