Printing business cards

[crjones22]

Hi I have the up Envy inspire 7200, what are the settings to print business cards 

[Dragon-Fur]

Welcome to the HP Community --

There are not settings meant for printing Business cards -- the paper type, more importantly, the paper weight for this "thick" type of paper is not listed as supported on this printer.

What?

The printer supports 300 gsm photo paper -- Nice, but unfortunately, you cannot claim you are using photo paper unless you actually have photo paper loaded in the intake tray.   That just means you cannot select paper type photo paper when you are using and have loaded some other kind of paper.

The printer supports Brochure / Professional paper - 180 gsm.

If you can find a single-sided lighter weight business card paper (for example, standard full size sheets of ten business cards), then if you can select Thick or Brochure weight paper in both printer (panel or EWS) and in the print job configuration, then maybe you can print business cards with this printer.  Maybe.

Tray and Paper – Paper Size / Paper Type / Paper Weight

Paper Size, Type, and Weight loaded in the printer tray must be supported for use in that tray.

EWS (Embedded Web Server) provides access and control for Settings, including Tray and Paper.

Reminder

HP Smart Mobile might require that paper size / type is rechecked / adjusted before the content is opened for print.

Notes

Depending on the printer model, the Printer Control Panel touchscreen might provide access to Paper Size / Type settings immediately after the paper is (re)loaded into the appropriate printer intake tray.

New printer?  Touchscreen Printer Control Panel locked against making changes?  Try username "admin" and the PIN located on the sticker on the inside of the front door of the printer.

Trays

• If the printer lacks a second tray, all paper / types are supported in the single available tray.
• Printers that include a Photo Tray generally restrict the paper sizes and paper type supported in that tray.

Custom size?

If your paper is a custom size, look for "Custom" in the full list of paper sizes.

Remember >> Printers with more than one tray might only support custom paper sizes and types in one tray.

If EWS does not allow setting the paper size or size “Custom”,

If the printer includes a touchscreen display printer control panel,

Look for the setting for “Custom” in the Printer Control Panel after (re)loading the paper to be used

NOTE:  Size Custom is not available for all printers

What? 

Paper Size, Type, and Weight must be appropriate for the tray in which that paper is to be used.

Depending on the printer model, Tray 1 might be used for Custom media. 

In this scenario, Tray 2 might only support Plain paper, perhaps in limited sizes.

OR

If the "Custom Paper Tray" is Tray 2, then Tray 1 might only support Plain paper / limited sizes.

Printers that include a Photo Tray generally limit the size and type of paper that the Photo Tray supports.  Example:  Depending on the printer model, the Photo Tray might support only 4x6 inch photo paper.
