HP Photosmart 8150, 8250, and 8450 Series - Printing Envelopes
This document describes how to load envelopes into your printer and adjust the print settings for the appropriate size envelope.
Guidelines
Avoid using the following: Envelopes with windows, clasps, or snaps
Shiny or embossed envelopes
Envelopes that have adhesive surfaces that are exposed to the printer
Flimsy envelopes with thick or curved leading edges
Wrinkled, nicked, baggy, or otherwise damaged envelopes
Envelopes that exceed 90-g/m2 (24-lb) basis weight
Envelopes larger than 8.5 x 14 inches
Envelopes that seal with pressure only, instead of requiring moistening
If you have trouble with envelopes jamming in the printer, try tucking in the flaps.
Step 1 - Raise the Out tray
There are two ways to load paper: you can raise the Out tray or remove it. To remove the Out tray, push in the buttons on each side and pull the tray towards you.

Step 2 - Load the envelopes
To print one or more envelopes, follow these steps: Remove all paper from the paper tray, and then slide a stack of envelopes into the tray, with the envelope flaps up and to the left (print-side down), until they stop.
Adjust the paper-width guide against the envelopes. Be careful not to bend the envelopes and do not overload the tray. Figure 3: Insert the envelopes on the 8150 and 8450 printers
