Printer media specifications

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality.

The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:

 

Poor print quality

 

Increased media jams

 

Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

 

For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company

 

cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot

 

influence or control their quality.

 

It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce

 

satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature

 

and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

specified in this user guide and in HP LaserJet printer family media guide. The guidelines
