Media to avoid
The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series 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 occurring.
●Do not use paper that is too rough.
●Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard
●Do not use multipart forms.
●Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.
Media that may damage the printer
In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided to pre-
vent 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.
●Do not use photo paper intended for inkjet printers.
●Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperatures of the printer’s image fuser. Select media that can tolerate temperatures of 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second. HP produces a selection of media that is designed for the HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers.
●Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or thermography. Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that can tolerate temperatures of 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second.
●Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second.
