CAUTION Note CAUTION Using envelopes Early models of the HP color LaserJet printer and HP color LaserJet 5 printers do not support envelopes. Printing on envelopes can damage the printer. See the user guide that came with your printer for detailed instructions about printing on envelopes. Most HP LaserJet printers can print on many sizes and styles of envelopes by using the manual feed feature, an optional envelope tray, an optional envelope feeder, or another tray. Whichever input method you use, envelopes should meet all of the specifications that are discussed in this document. Your envelope vendor should provide you with a satisfactory envelope that complies with the specifications listed in "Guidelines for using envelopes" on page 13. However, inconsistencies in folds or other process-control problems can result in some envelopes feeding well and others jamming. Purchase envelopes that have the quality and consistency that your printer requires. Envelopes can meet the general specifications listed in "Guidelines for using envelopes" on page 13 and still not print satisfactorily because of the printing environment or other variables over which HP has no control. Envelopes containing windows, clasps, or snaps can cause severe damage to the printer. See the support documentation for your printer before using envelopes in your HP LaserJet printer. Envelope construction Because of their construction, some envelopes do not feed through the printer dependably. Observe the following guidelines when purchasing and using envelopes: q Make sure that the envelope's leading edge, which enters the printer first, is straight, with a sharp, well-creased fold that has no more than two thicknesses of paper. Envelopes that exceed 90-g/m2 (24-lb) basis weight can cause jamming. q Avoid using flimsy envelopes that have thick or curved leading edges; they will not feed reliably. q Envelopes should lie flat and should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. q Avoid envelopes that have baggy construction; they might wrinkle while passing through the printer's fuser area. q Make sure that the adhesive labels and all other materials used on envelopes will not scorch, melt, offset, or release undesirable emissions when heated to 205° C (401° F) for 0.1 second (0.2 second for HP color LaserJet printers). q Avoid using envelopes that have encapsulated adhesives that do not require moistening but instead use pressure for sealing. q Do not use envelopes that have clasps, snaps, tie strings, transparent windows, holes, perforations, or cutouts. q Do not use envelopes that have any adhesive surfaces exposed to the printer. q Use of envelopes that have woven or smooth finishes is recommended to ensure good toner adhesion. 2 Guidelines for using media 11

Using envelopes
CAUTION
Early models of the HP color LaserJet printer and HP color LaserJet 5 printers do not
support envelopes. Printing on envelopes can damage the printer. See the user guide that
came with your printer for detailed instructions about printing on envelopes.
Most HP LaserJet printers can print on many sizes and styles of envelopes by using the
manual feed feature, an optional envelope tray, an optional envelope feeder, or another
tray. Whichever input method you use, envelopes should meet all of the specifications that
are discussed in this document. Your envelope vendor should provide you with a
satisfactory envelope that complies with the specifications listed in
“Guidelines for using
envelopes” on page 13
. However, inconsistencies in folds or other process-control
problems can result in some envelopes feeding well and others jamming. Purchase
envelopes that have the quality and consistency that your printer requires.
Note
Envelopes can meet the general specifications listed in
“Guidelines for using envelopes”
on page 13
and still not print satisfactorily because of the printing environment or other
variables over which HP has no control.
CAUTION
Envelopes containing windows, clasps, or snaps can cause severe damage to the printer.
See the support documentation for your printer before using envelopes in your HP
LaserJet
printer.
Envelope construction
Because of their construction, some envelopes do not feed through the printer
dependably. Observe the following guidelines when purchasing and using envelopes:
●
Make sure that the envelope’s leading edge, which enters the printer first, is straight,
with a sharp, well-creased fold that has no more than two thicknesses of paper.
Envelopes that exceed 90-g/m
2
(24-lb) basis weight can cause jamming.
●
Avoid using flimsy envelopes that have thick or curved leading edges; they will not
feed reliably.
●
Envelopes should lie flat and should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●
Avoid envelopes that have baggy construction; they might wrinkle while passing
through the printer’s fuser area.
●
Make sure that the adhesive labels and all other materials used on envelopes will not
scorch, melt, offset, or release undesirable emissions when heated to 205° C (401° F)
for 0.1 second (0.2 second for HP color LaserJet printers).
●
Avoid using envelopes that have encapsulated adhesives that do not require
moistening but instead use pressure for sealing.
●
Do not use envelopes that have clasps, snaps, tie strings, transparent windows, holes,
perforations, or cutouts.
●
Do not use envelopes that have any adhesive surfaces exposed to the printer.
●
Use of envelopes that have woven or smooth finishes is recommended to ensure good
toner adhesion.
