							Print on special media, such as glossy or photo paper
You can print on special media such as transparencies, labels, heavy paper, glossy paper,
photo paper, and card stock, by using the optimizing feature in the printer driver.
1. Open the straight-through output door.
2. Load the media input tray. Make sure that the top of the media is forward and the side to
be printed on (the rough side of transparencies) is facing up.
3. Adjust the media guides to fit the width of the media.
4. Open a document in a program, such as Microsoft Word.
5. Select the print command. For most programs, click the File menu, and then click Print.
The Print dialog box appears.
6. On the Print dialog box, click Properties.
7. On the Paper or Quality tab, select one of these media types:
●Plain
●Preprinted
●Letterhead
●Transparency
●Prepunched
●Labels
●Bond
●Recycled
●Light 
						

							Print on both sides of the paper
To manually print on both sides of the paper, you must send the paper through the device
twice. You can print by using the media output bin or the straight-through output path.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the media output bin for lightweight paper and
use the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that curls excessively
when printed.
CAUTION
Do not print on both sides of labels or transparencies. Damage to the device and jams might
result.
1. Insert enough paper into one of the trays to accommodate the print job. If you are
loading special paper such as letterhead, load it in one of these ways.
●For tray 1, load the letterhead paper with the front side down, and the bottom edge
leading into the device first.
●For optional tray 2, load the letterhead paper with the front side up, and the top edge
toward the back of the tray.
1 tray 1
2 optional tray 2
2. In the printer driver, select the Print on Both Sides option and send the job to print.
3. After the job finishes printing, remove any blank paper from tray 1. Insert the printed
stack, with the blank side up, and the top edge leading into the device. Print the second
side from tray 1.
4. Press ENTER to continue printing.
Note
Macintosh operating systems do not support manual duplexing.
Print on envelopes and custom media sizes
To print on envelopes, complete the following steps.
1. Set tray 1 to the correct media size. See 
Loading tray 1.
2. Load no more than 10 envelopes face-up with the top of the envelope to the left, and the
short edge feeding into the device first.
3. Use your computer software program to complete the printing process.
