If you have ever wondered how to print envelopes on your HP printer, you’re not alone. Whether you’re printing a batch of birthday cards or sending out a mailing to a large client, it’s a time-consuming task. But there are a few ways to ensure that your paper comes out right the first time.
Load the right side up
One of the most useful functions of your HP printer is the ability to print envelopes. To do this you will need to make sure that you are loading the right side of the paper into the printer input tray. It can be tricky to determine the right side of the paper to load into the tray, but you can rest assured that it is the glossy side of the paper that you should load into the printer.
Once you have determined the side of the paper to load into the input tray, you need to find out how the printer is going to handle the size of the paper. You can choose to load a letter size envelope, a legal size envelope or a specialty envelope. A printer may also have a special tray for printing envelopes. Depending on your particular model, you might need to do a bit of trial and error to determine how to print envelopes with your HP printer.

Avoid peel-off adhesive strips
When printing envelopes on your HP printer, you have a few options. For example, you can feed your envelopes directly from the tray or use a manual feeder. If you want to avoid peel-off adhesive strips, you may also want to consider a good quality envelope. Using the right kind of envelope can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The optimum size and shape of an envelope should be determined by the number of pages you need to print and the weight of the material. You can find this out by printing test pages. It’s also important to keep in mind that you need to be sure that the weight of the envelopes will not overload the printer.
This is because it can cause the rollers to become jammed or even damage the fuser. Fortunately, most HP Laserjet printers come with an envelope feeder. There are different types of envelope feeders available, and each one is designed for a specific model of printer.
Set the right paper size
If you want to print envelopes on your HP printer, there are some things you need to know. Firstly, you must make sure that the paper size you select matches the paper that you are going to use. This will help prevent waste of toner and ink.
Next, you must know how to load the envelopes into the printer. Most printers will have an in-tray where you can put them. Alternatively, you can load them manually.
You should also check your printer manual for information on the paper size you can use. Some models allow for custom paper sizes. However, you should still be aware that some envelopes may not work with certain types of paper.
A good way to test your printer is to print an envelope using plain paper. Once you are done, you should check the settings to see how they look. Usually, they should match. Depending on the printer, you should also check the program preferences.

Load too many envelopes in the input tray
If you are trying to print envelopes, you need to make sure that you are loading the proper envelopes into the input tray on your HP printer. The printer may have problems feeding the envelopes if you have too many in the tray. You also need to make sure that you load them correctly so that they are not damaged.
To make sure that you are loading the right type of envelopes, you need to check the printer’s manual. This will tell you whether or not your printer supports certain types of envelopes. Depending on your model, you may have to load the envelopes separately.
Some high-end printers have manual feed trays. You can insert the envelopes into the tray manually by pulling tab levers towards the envelope edges.
Using a manual feed tray is important if you are using thick envelopes. This will prevent the envelopes from sliding out of the tray. Also, the manual feed tray will keep the envelopes from getting stuck inside the printer.
