multiple envelopes.
1. Open the media input tray and remove any media.
2. Before loading the envelopes, slide the media guides outward so that they are slightly
wider than the envelopes.

the short edge, feed that edge into the device first, with the side to be printed on facing

Use only transparencies and labels that are recommended for use in laser printers, such as
HP transparency film and HP laser-quality labels. See 
Device media specifications for more
information.
CAUTION
Inspect the media to make sure that it is not wrinkled or curled and that it does not have any
torn edges or missing labels. Do not send the labels through the device more than once. The
adhesive can damage the device.
To print on transparencies or labels
CAUTIONBe sure to set the correct media type in the device settings (printer driver) as instructed in the
following procedure. The device adjusts the fuser temperature according to the media type
setting. When printing on special media such as transparencies or labels, this adjustment
prevents the fuser from damaging the media as it passes through the device.

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.
