Printing from Tray 1 (multipurpose tray)

In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed long-edge first to prevent them from sealing during printing. For long edge printing, envelopes should be loaded long edge first, face-down. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1 to change the printer drivers envelope orientation.

Labels

Note For printing labels, set the trays media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See Configuring input trays. When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
Verify that the labels adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190 C (374 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 labels lie flat. Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Heavy paper

Any of the trays will print most heavy media that does not excede 163 g/m2 (47 lb bond). For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to set the media type for the tray to HEAVY (106 g/m2 to 163 g/m2). Use card stock only in Tray 1 (163 g/m2 to 200 g/m2). In either the software application or the driver, select HEAVY or CARDSTOCK as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays.
In general do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear. However, some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can be safely used.

HP LaserJet Tough paper

When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:
Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print quality problems. Use only Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results. In either the software application or the driver, select TOUGH PAPER as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
