Select print media The device is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum print quality. Visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com for more information about HP media. This section contains the following topics: • • • Tips for selecting and using print media Understand specifications for supported media Set minimum margins Tips for selecting and using print media For the best results, observe the following guidelines. • • • Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. Load only one type of media at a time into a tray. Load media print-side down and aligned against the right and back edges of the tray. For more information, see Load media. 20 Use the device • • Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following media: ◦ Multipart forms ◦ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled ◦ Media with cutouts or perforations ◦ Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well ◦ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily Cards and envelopes • Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged. • Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased. • Load envelopes with the flaps facing up. Photo media • Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer and more memory is required from your computer. • Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing. Transparencies • Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing towards the back of the device. • Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the output tray. • Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing. Custom-sized media • Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device. • If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized media.

Print on both sides (duplexing) You can print on both sides of a sheet of media either manually, or automatically using the duplexer. NOTE: The printer driver does not support manual duplexing. Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory to be installed on the device. This section contains the following topics: • • Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page Perform duplexing Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page • • • Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. Specify two-sided printing options in your application or in the printer driver. Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/ m2). Jams might occur with these media types. Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the device prints the first side of the media first. Load the media with the print side facing down.
