HP OfficeJet Pro K850dn User Manual

							Transparencies
●Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing towards the back
of the printer.
●Use the Best mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time and ensures
that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the output tray. Allowing wet
media to stack up might cause smearing.
Custom-size media
●Use only custom-size media supported by the printer.
●If your application supports custom-size media, set the media size in the application before
printing the document. If not, set the size in the printer driver. You might need to reformat
existing documents to print them correctly on custom-size media.

							Loading media
This section explains how to load plain paper and standard media sizes and types into the input tray.
Following are general guidelines for loading media into the tray:
●If you are printing on thick paper (such as cardstock), you can use the rear manual feed slot. See
Printing with the front or rear manual feed slot.
●If you are printing cards or envelopes, see 
Printing on special and custom-size media.
●If you are printing one or just a few envelopes or sheets of paper, you can use the front manual
feed slot and leave your regular media in the input tray. See 
Printing with the front or rear manual
feed slot.
To load media in the input tray
1.Raise the output tray. If the output tray is extended, close the tray.
2.Press the input tray lock and extend the input tray.
NOTEIf the small media guide is in its open position, close it by moving it 90?
counterclockwise.
3.Press the button on top of the paper guide and slide the guide to the left to its outermost position.
4.Insert a stack of media that does not exceed the height of the paper guide, print-side down along
the right side of the input tray until it stops.
ENWWLoading media 21
 
						

							5.Press the button on top of the paper guide and slide the guide to the right until it stops at the
edge of the media.
6.Press the input tray lock and retract the tray until it stops at the edge of the media.
NOTEWhen 215.9 x 279.4 mm (8.5 x 11 inch) paper is loaded in the input tray, the tray
extension will close to the edge of the paper and leave a slight gap between the extension
and the tray. The tray extends further to accommodate larger-sized media.
7.Lower the output tray.
8.Extend the output tray if necessary.
