If you have special paper, e.g., cardstock, colored paper, or larger format paper, you can print to it using the manual feed tray.

Windows

  1. Select Husky-BW or Husky-Color.
  2. At your computer, before you select Print, select Printer Properties.
  3. Determine the paper size, type, and color of your special paper. You will need to choose the same options at the HuskyPrint station later when you insert your special paper.  Select the drop-down arrow for Paper to change paper options.
