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.

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.
