Printing on letterhead and preprinted forms Only use letterhead or preprinted forms that are recommended for use in laser printers, such as HP laser-quality letterhead and preprinted forms. See Device media specifications for more information. Use these instructions to print documents on letterhead or preprinted forms. Note To print on letterhead and preprinted forms 1. Load the print media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. 2. Adjust the media guides to fit the width of the print media. 3. Print the document. To print a single-page cover letter on letterhead, followed by a multiple-page document, load the standard media in the media input tray first, and then load the letterhead into the priority input tray. The device automatically prints from the priority input tray first. 38 Chapter 3 Printing ENWW
