Product 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-sized 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.

 

Before you purchase a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified

 

in this user guide and in Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media. (See Ordering HP parts and

 

accessories for more information about ordering the guidelines.) Always test media before you

 

purchase a large quantity.

 

 

CAUTION

Using media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard’s specifications might cause problems for the

 

printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service

 

agreements.

 

 

 

Supported media sizes (printer)

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)

Guidelines for using media

 

Paper

 

For best results, use conventional paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality and free of

 

cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.

 

If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the

 

label on the package of paper.

 

Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.

 

 

Note

Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types

 

of thermography.

 

 

 

 

Note

Do not use raised letterhead.
