pRINTING lABELS

[DELCAR]

When trying to print LABELS, the paper delays feeding  in the print process and only prints about the last third of labels on page.  Is there a way to adjust paper feeding?

THANKS

I've not seen Windows 7 for a long time.

At least some of the following is perhaps relevant to your OS...

Paper Types and Paper Weights are supported as noted in the Specifications

Printer Specifications for HP DeskJet 3630, 4720 Printers

and

Media Types

Plain paper, photo paper, brochure paper, envelopes and other specialty inkjet papers

Media Weights Supported, By Paper Path (Imperial)	Letter: 16 to 32 lb; HP envelopes: 20 to 24 lb; HP cards: up to 110 lb; HP 4 x 6 inch photo paper: up to 145 lb
Media Weights Supported, By Paper Path (metric)	A4: 60 to 90 g/m²; HP envelopes: 75 to 90 g/m²; HP cards: up to 200 g/m²; HP 10 x 15 cm photo paper: up to 300 g/m²

Yes, the paper settings can be adjusted.

Exactly how this is done depends on a couple of factors...

If the printer is connected to the network,

You might be able to use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to view / adjust the Preferences / Tray and Paper settings.

Select a paper type that is "thicker" than normal paper.  For example, depending on what you find in the list, try Brochure matte (or glossy) or "Card" paper.

Check / enable the printer as the “Default Printer”

(Windows 10)

UNCHECK (clear box) Let Windows manage my default printer

Select (Left-Click) your printer from the list of printers > Manage > Set as Default

1. Select and adjust settings in each category for the Media (kind of paper), source (tray), and paper size.
