Printing on special media Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media. For more information, see Print media specifications. NOTE Special media such as envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, or heavy media greater than 120 g/m2 should be used in Tray 1. To print on any special media, use the following procedure: 1. Load the media in the paper tray. 2. When the MFP prompts you for the paper type, select the correct media type for the paper loaded in the tray. For example, select EXTRA HEAVY GLOSS when loading HP Extra Heavy Gloss Laser Paper. 3. In the software application or the printer driver, set the media type to match the media type that is loaded in the paper tray. NOTE For the best print quality, always verify that the media type selected on the MFP 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 MFP. Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Transparencies with this MFP. 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. For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers. CAUTION Transparencies not designed for LaserJet printing will melt in the MFP, causing damage to the MFP. Glossy paper ● In either the software application or the driver, select GLOSSY or HEAVY 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 for the input tray being used. ● Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the MFP to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays for more information. 100 Chapter 4 Printing tasks ENWW
