CAUTION

You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. This section provides guidelines and specifications for selecting and using different print media.

Before purchasing any media or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier obtains and understands the print media requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Family Paper Specification Guide.

See Supplies and accessories for HP LaserJet Family Paper Specification Guide ordering information. To download a copy of the HP LaserJet Family Paper Specification Guide go to http://www.hp.com/support/lj4600 and select Manuals.

It is possible that media could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).

Hewlett-Packard recommends testing any media before buying it in large quantities.

Using media that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the paper specification guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
