Choosing paper and other media

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size media. The following are the supported media sizes:

Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)

Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches)

Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high- quality media designed for laser printers. See Printer media considerations for detailed paper and media specifications.

NOTE

Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media

 

supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet printer family print

 

media guide (HP part number 5851-1468). See Printer media considerations for more

 

information.

Media to avoid

The HP LaserJet 1022, 1022n, and 1022nw printers can handle many types of media. Use of media outside the printer's specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the chance of paper jams.

Do not use paper that is too rough.

Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard three-hole punched paper.

Do not use multipart forms.

Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.

Media that might damage the printer

In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided to prevent possible damage:

Do not use media with staples attached.

Do not use transparencies designed for Inkjet printers or other low-temperature printers. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
