Printing on Special Media
Printing Letterhead and Preprinted Forms
If letterhead and forms will be printed regularly, it may be useful to
reserve and lock-out a tray for these special papers.  If letterhead and
form printing is only occasional, Tray 1 can be used to easily print these
special papers.
Regular Printing on Special Paper
The HP LaserJet 5/5M printer can be set to recognize a paper source
(such as Tray 1) as being reserved for letterhead, preprinted forms, or
other type of special paper....

Occasional Printing on Special Paper
Tray 1, by default, will be printed from first. This feature can be useful
when printing an occasional multi-page job on more than one type of
media. The following example demonstrates how to print the first page
of a letter on letterhead (from Tray 1) and the following pages on regular
paper (from Tray 2).
1Place a sheet of preprinted letterhead in Tray 1, print-side-up, top edge
in, (see “Letterhead Orientation” on the following page).

Printing Labels and Transparencies

optional trays. Tray 1 has a straighter paper path, resulting in fewer
paper jams.

during printing try the following:
•Fan the stack of labels or transparencies, allowing space between
each sheet.
•If problems persist, print one sheet at a time through Tray 1.
