SUMMARY

When you use the PacificPage Cartridge version 3.0 with a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series IID and IIID, you may experience the following problems when you print envelopes or when you print from the manual feed tray.

Bin Selection

The PacificPage cartridge does not support bin selection on the HP IID. If you try to print a multiple-section document where different pages are set to pull from the upper and lower bins, the PacificPage cartridge causes the printer to print from the upper tray every time.

The PacificPages PostScript cartridge for the HP LaserJet Series II using the HP IID PostScript printer driver for Windows 3.1 also does not does not correctly support bin selection.

Printing Envelopes

If you try to print envelopes using the envelope feeder and you select the Envelope Feeder option (from the Tools menu, choose Options, and then select the Print category in Word 2.0 or Tools/Envelopes and Labels/Options/Printing Options/Feed From Envelope in Word 6.0), the envelope is printed from the upper tray and does not recognize the envelope feeder. The PacificPage cartridge does not allow the envelope feeder to be recognized at the time of the print job.

Note: Using the Apple LaserWriter NT or II NTX does not correct either of the above problems.
