HP LaserJet 5200 Series Printer - User Guide

Printing on special media
Special media includes letterhead, prepunched (including 3-hole punched), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, full-bleed images, rotated paper, index cards, postcards, custom-size, and heavy
paper.
Printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper (single-
sided)
When printing letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, it is important to orient the paper
correctly. Follow the guidelines in this section for printing on one side only. For duplexing guidelines,
see
Printing on both sides (duplexing).
NOTE It might be necessary to print prepunched paper in a rotated orientation (see Printing
on rotated media). Printing in portrait or landscape mode is usually selected from the software
program or printer driver. If the option is not available, change the ORIENTATION setting on
the printer control panel.
