Heavy Paper

Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb). For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to configure Tray 1 as a cassette and then set the media type for the tray to HEAVY. Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once your job has printed. See the section later in this chapter on configuring input trays.

CAUTION Do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.

Preprinted Forms and Letterhead

Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:

●Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of approximately 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

●Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

●Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

●Before you load preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.

Recycled Paper

This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same specifications as standard paper. (See the

HP LaserJet Family Paper Specification Guide.) The guide is available through HP Direct. See Appendix D for ordering information. Hewlett-Packard recommends that recycled paper contain no more than 5 percent ground wood.
