4. Insert the paper evenly into the IN tray, print side down, until it stops. Align the right edge of the stack with the right edge of the IN tray.
   
5. Slide the paper width adjuster to the right until it aligns with the left edge of the paper stack.
6. Push the paper length adjuster in toward the paper until it stops
   
   Make sure the paper does not bend in the IN tray.
7. Set the software to print on the size and orientation of the paper.

Using Index Cards and Postcards

1. Remove the OUT tray.
   
2. Raise the card guide.
   
3. Remove up to a 1/2 inch stack of cards from their packaging and tap the short edge of the stack on a flat surface to even the stack.

7. Push the paper length adjuster in toward the card stack until it stops.

   Make sure the cards do no bend in the IN tray.
9. Set the software to print on the size and type of cards now in the printer.

Printing Banners

1. Set the paper type to "Banner" in the HP DeskJet software.
2. Slide the banner lever to the right until it clicks into place.
   
3. Remove all paper from the lower (IN) tray and flip up the banner support in the upper (OUT) tray.
   
4. Get the banner paper ready for the printer:
   - From the stack of banner paper, tear off at least one more sheet than you need to print the banner.
   - Tear off the perforated strips, if there are any.
   - Unfold and refold the stack so the pages don't stick together in the printer.
   
5. Put the paper in the lower (IN) tray so that the torn edge is at the top of the stack facing into the printer.
   
6. Slide the paper adjusters in again so that they fit snugly against the edges of the paper.
7. Print the banner.
   You'll notice that the printer and banner paper go through some startup movements - don't worry, it's normal. Also, banner printing takes a while; it may be several minutes before you see the results.
8. After the banner has printed, press the Resume button as many times as needed until all the banner paper is out of the printer.
   

Using the Single Envelope Slot

The printer allows you to load up to 20 envelopes at a time in the IN tray or to feed a single envelope through the printer without first removing the paper from the IN tray by using the single envelope slot. When using the single envelope slot, you can alternate printing on an envelope then on a piece of paper. This feature is useful when printing a series of letters and their corresponding envelopes.

The single envelope slot allows you to print on either a No. 10 (COM-10) or a DL size envelope. Other envelope sizes are not supported with the single envelope slot.

NOTE: Do not remove the paper from the IN tray, and be sure the card guide is down before using the single envelope slot.

1. Remove either a No. 10 (COM-10 or a DL size envelope from its packaging.
2. Slide the envelope evenly into the single envelope slot, address side down (flap side up).
   
   Make sure the creased flap side of the envelope aligns with the right side of the single envelope slot.
3. Slide the envelope through the slot until it stops.
   Make sure that the envelope is inserted all the way and that it is not skewed or bent.
4. Set the software to print on the size and type of envelope now in the printer.
5. Be sure to reset the software for the paper in the IN tray after printing on the envelope is completed.

Loading Envelopes in the IN Tray

1. Slide the paper width adjuster to its leftmost position.
2. Pull out the paper length adjuster and remove any paper from the IN tray.
   
   Make sure the card guide is in the down position.
3. Remove a stack of up to 20 envelopes from their packaging and tap the short edge of the envelopes on a flat surface to even the stack.
4. Slide the envelopes evenly into the In tray, address side down (flap side up).
   
5. Make sure the creased flap edge of the stack aligns with the right side of the IN tray.
6. Slide the paper width adjuster to the right until it aligns with the left edge of the envelope stack.
   
7. For size Invitation A2 and C6 envelopes, press the inside of the paper length adjuster handle to release and lower it.

8. For all sizes of envelopes, push the paper length adjuster in toward the envelopes until it stops.
   
   Make sure the envelopes do not bend in the IN tray.
