14 Guidelines for purchasing and using print media
Envelopes
CAUTION HP Color LaserJet and HP Color LaserJet 5 printers do not support
envelopes. Printing envelopes can damage the printer. See the user
guide that came with your printer for detailed instructions about printing
envelopes.
You can print many sizes and styles of envelopes on most
HP LaserJet printers by using manual feed, a multipurpose (MP) tray,
an optional envelope tray, or an optional envelope feeder. Whichever
input method you use, envelopes should meet all specifications
discussed in this document. Your envelope vendor should provide
you with a satisfactory envelope that complies with the specifications
listed in "Print media specifications". However, folding inconsistencies
or other process control problems can result in some envelopes
feeding well and others jamming. Purchase envelopes that have the
quality and consistency your printer requires.
Note Envelopes can meet the general specifications listed in "Print media
specifications" and still not print satisfactorily because of the printing
environment or other variables over which HP has no control.
CAUTION Envelopes containing windows, clasps, or snaps can cause severe
damage to the printer. See the printer user guide before using
envelopes in your HP LaserJet printer.
