							Do not push the paper width guide too  far causing the media to  warp.
If  you do not adjust  the paper width guide,  it  may cause paper jams.
Do not use paper with more  than  6 mm curl.
Loading paper in the tray
Tray  1
1.  Pull out the paper tray. And  adjust  the tray  size to  the media size you are loading (See Changing the tray
size ).
2 .  Flex or fan  the edge  of the paper stack to  separate  the pages before loading paper.
3.  And  place  paper with the side  you want  to  print  facing  down.
4.  Insert the tray  back  into the machine.
5 .  When  you print  a  document,  set  the paper type and  size for the tray.
For  information  about  setting  the paper type and  size (See 
Setting  the default tray  and  paper ).
If  you experience problems with paper feeding, check  whether  the paper meets the media specification.
Then try placing one  sheet at a  time in the manual tray  (See 
Print media specifications ).
Manual tray
The  manual tray  can  hold special sizes  and  types of print  material,  such as postcards, note cards, and  envelopes. It
 
						

							is useful  for single  page  printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the manual  tray
If  you select Manual Feeder for Source  from  your  software application, you need  to  press   OK each  time
you print  a  page  and  load  only  one  type, size and  weight  of print  media at a  time in the manual tray.
To prevent  paper jams, do not add  paper while  printing when  there is still paper in the manual tray. This
also  applies  to  other types of print  media.
Print media should be loaded face up  with the top edge  going  into the manual tray  first and  be placed in the
center of the tray.
Always load  the specified print  media only  to  avoid  paper jams  and  print  quality problems (See Print media
specifications  ).
Flatten any curl  on postcards, envelopes, and  labels before loading them  into the manual tray.
1 .  Load the paper in the manual tray.
Do not force  the paper beyond  the surface with mark  when  loading.
When  printing the special media,  you must  follow  the loading guideline  (See Printing  on special
media ).
When  papers overlap when  printing using  manual tray, open tray  1 and  remove overlapping
papers then  try printing again.
When  paper does  not feed well while  printing, push the paper in manually until it  starts  feeding
automatically.
2 .  Squeeze  the manual tray  paper width guides  and  adjust  them  to  the width of the paper. Do not force  them
too  much, or the paper will bent resulting in a  paper jam  or skew.
3 .  To print  in application, open an application  and  start  the print  menu.
4 .  Open  Printing Preferences  (See 
Opening  printing preferences ).
5 .  Press  the  Paper tab in  Printing Preferences ,  and  select an appropriate paper type.
For  example, if you want  to  use a  label, set  the paper type to   Label.
6 .  Select  Manual Feeder  in paper source,  then  press   OK.
7 .  Start printing in application.
If  you are printing multiple pages, load  the next sheet after the first page  prints out, and  press  the  OK.
Repeat  this step for every page  to  be printed.
Printing on special media
The  table below  shows  the available  special media for each  tray.
When  using  special media,  feed one  paper at a  time.  Check the maximum  input number of media for each  tray
(See 
Print media specifications  ).

select this option.
Envelope
Successful  printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.
To print  an envelope, insert  the envelope  in the center of the manual tray, with the stamp  area entering  the
machine first and  keeping  the stamp  on the left.
If  envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease  or black  bold lines, open the rear cover and  pull down  the
pressure  lever and  try printing again.  Keep  the rear cover opened  during printing.
1.  Pressure lever
 
						

							When  selecting  envelopes, consider the following factors:
Weight: The weight  of the envelope  paper should not exceed  90 g/m2 otherwise, jam  may occur.
Construction: Prior  to  printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than  6 mm  curl, and  should not contain
air.
Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,  nicked,  nor damaged.
Temperature: Use envelopes that  are compatible with the heat and  pressure  of the machine during
operation.
Use  only  well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and  well-creased folds.
Do not use stamped envelopes.
Do not use envelopes with clasps,  snaps,  windows, coated  lining, self-adhesive  seals, or other synthetic
materials.
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Be  sure  the seam  at both  ends of the envelope  extends all the way  to  the corner of the envelope.
1 .  Acceptable
2 .  Unacceptable
Envelopes with a  peel -off adhesive  strip or with more  than  one  flap  that  folds over to  seal,  must  use adhesives
compatible with the machine’s  fusing temperature  of about  170 °C (338  °F) for 0.1 second.  The  extra  flaps
and  strips  might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and  may even damage  the fuser.
For  the best print  quality,  position  margins no closer  than  15 mm  (0.59 inches) from  the edges of the
envelope.
Avoid  printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid  damaging the machine,  only  use transparencies designed for use in laser  printers.
Transparencies  used in the machine must  be able  to  withstand machine’s  fusing temperature.
Place  them  on a  flat surface after removing them  from  the machine.
Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray  for long periods  of time.  Dust and  dirt may accumulate
on them, resulting in spotty printing.
To avoid  smudging caused by fingerprints, handle  them  carefully.
To avoid  fading, do not expose printed transparencies to  prolonged  sunlight.
Ensure  that  transparencies are not wrinkled,  curled,  or have  any torn edges.
 
						

							Do not use transparencies that  separates from  the backing sheet.
To prevent  transparencies from  sticking to  each  other,  do not let  the printed sheets  stack up  as they are being
printed out.
Labels
To avoid  damaging the machine,  use only  labels designed for use in laser  machines.
When  selecting  labels,  consider the following factors:
Adhesives: The adhesive  material should be stable  at your  machine’s  fusing temperature  of about  170
°C (338  °F).
Arrangement: Only  use labels with no exposed backing between  them. Labels  can  peel  off sheets  that
have  spaces between  the labels,  causing serious jams.
Curl: Prior  to  printing, labels must  lie flat with no more  than  13 mm  of curl  in any direction.
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles,  or other indications  of separation.
Make sure  that  there is no exposed adhesive  material between  labels.  Exposed  areas can  cause labels to  peel
off during printing, which can  cause paper jams. Exposed  adhesive  can  also  cause damage  to  machine
components.
Do not run  a  sheet of labels through the machine more  than  once. The  adhesive  backing is designed for only  a
single  pass  through the machine.
Do not use labels that  are separating from  the backing sheet or are wrinkled,  bubbled,  or otherwise  damaged.
Card stock/Custom-sized paper
Postcards,  cards, and  other custom-sized materials can  be printed with this machine.
Do not print  on media smaller than  76  mm  (3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm  (5.00 inches) long.
In the software application, set  margins at least 6.4 mm  (0.25 inches) away  from  the edges of the material.
If  media weight  is over 160 g/m2 (43 lb), try printing in the rear cover (face  up).
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper
Single -sidedDouble -sided
Tray1 Face down Face up
Manual  tray Face up Face down
 
						

							Letterhead/ Preprinted  paper must  be printed with heat-resistant  ink that  will not melt,  vaporize,  or release
hazardous  emissions  when  subjected  to  the machine’s  fusing temperature  for 0.1 second.  Check your
machine’s  specification  to  view  the fusing temperature  of about  170 °C (338  °F).
Letterhead/ Preprinted  paper ink must  be non-flammable  and  should not adversely affect machine rollers.
Forms  and  letterhead should be sealed in a  moisture -proof  wrapping to  prevent  changes during storage.
Before  you load  letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that  the ink on the paper is dry.  During  the fusing process,
wet ink can  come  off preprinted paper, reducing print  quality.
Photo
Make sure  not to  use the inkjet photo  paper with this machine.  It could cause damage  to  the machine.
Glossy
Load one  paper to  the manual tray  at a  time,  glossy side  facing  up.
Recommended  media:  Glossy paper (Letter) for this machine by HP Brochure Paper (Product: Q6611A) only.
