Preprinted forms and letterhead


When printing on preprinted forms and letterhead, observe the following guidelines for best results:

  • Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of approximately 190° C (374° F) or 0.1 second.

  • Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

  • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

  • Before loading preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.

  • When duplex printing on the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series printer, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3 first side up, top edge toward the back of the tray. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them with the first side down, bottom edge in first.

  • When simplex (1-sided) printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3 face-up with the top edge of the page to the left. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1, place them in the tray with the side to be printed on facing up, and top, short edge in first.
