Load Trays 2 and 3 17 |
Tray 1 is a multi-purpose tray and holds up to 100 sheets of paper or 10 envelopes.
Tray 1 provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, labels, or other types of media without having to unload the other trays.
CAUTION
To avoid a paper jam, never add or remove paper from Tray 1 while the printer is printing.
To avoid damaging the printer, print labels, envelopes, and transparencies from Tray 1 only. Send them to the Faceup Bin, do not print them on both sides, and remove them promptly.
Note
Paper loaded in Tray 1 will be printed first unless the Tray 1 setting is changed from the printer control panel. To change the order in which trays will be printed from, see your online user guide.
1 Open Tray 1.
2 Pull out the tray extension, if needed for the paper size you are printing.
3 Slide the paper width guides to the appropriate size marked on the tray.
4 Place paper into the tray without stacking it above the paperfill mark.

5Paper loading differs by size:
a Load Letter or A4 paper with the top of the page toward the rear of the printer and with the side-to-be- printed up for single-sided printing.
For two-sided printing, load paper with the top of the page toward the rear of the printer and with the first side-to-be-printed down.
b Load short-edge fed media with the top of the page toward the printer and with the side-to-be- printed up for single-sided printing.
For two-sided printing, load media with the top of the page away from the printer and with the first side- to-be-printed down.
Note
Paper heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2) should be printed from Tray 1 to the Face-up Bin to avoid curl.

Connecting Parallel Cable
To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284 bi-directional C-type parallel cable. (These cables are clearly marked with “IEEE-1284.”) Only IEEE-1284 cables support all of the printer’s advanced features.
1 Make sure the printer and your computer are turned off.
Note
The cable should install easily. If installation is difficult, check the cable orientation.
2 Connect the parallel cable to the printer parallel port. Press the locking release levers in while connecting the cable.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the proper connector on the computer.

The printer comes with printing software on a CD-ROM. The printer |
|
drivers on this CD-ROM must be installed to take full advantage of the |
|
printer features. If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, but |
|
you have access to one, you can copy the printing software from the |
|
CD-ROM onto diskettes for installation on your computer. |
|
If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, go to www.hp.com and |
|
download the drivers, or call HP to order diskettes. The most recent |
|
drivers are available on the Internet. Depending on the configuration |
|
of Windows-driven computers, the installation program for the printer |
|
software automatically checks the computer for Internet access to |
|
obtain the latest software. |
