However, if you use computer or z-fold paper for your banners, we recommend that you use 20-pound or 75 g/m 2 paper. Always do a good job of fanning the paper before loading it. In the HP print settings box, click the Setup tab and then click Banner. Then, in the Paper Size box, select Letter or A4. (See page 9 for how to get to the HP print settings box. ) The software program you're using might require special settings before it'll print banners correctly on your printer. Check out the banner information on either the How do I?tab or on the Troubleshooting tab in the HP Toolbox for information regarding your specific software program. Click Banner. Paper Pointers YOUR BEST BET If you use HP Banner Paper, your banners will print with fewer paper jams and with brighter color and denser blacks.

Remove all paper from the IN drawer. 36 Get the banner paper ready for the printer: s From the stack of banner paper, tear off the number of sheets you need to print the banner. (You must have at least five sheets in the stack. ) Tear off the perforated strips, if there are any. Fan the stack so that the pages don't stick together in the printer. What If THE BANNER HAS A BIG GAP OR A CREASE WHERE YOU DON'T EXPECT IT s s Put the paper in the IN drawer so that the unattached edge is at the top of the stack. Insert the stack edge first into the IN drawer until it stops. The printer might be picking up more than one sheet of paper at a time.
