Using print media

Before purchasing any paper or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier has obtained and understands the print-media requirements that are specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide.

See HP Customer Care to order the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide. To download a copy of the guide, go to www.hp.com/support/lj5200l. Select Manuals.

It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter or the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide and still not print satisfactorily. This can result from abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or other variables over which HP has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).

Hewlett-Packard Company recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities.

CAUTION Using paper that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the print media guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

Paper to avoid

The printer can handle many types of paper. Using paper that does not meet specifications will cause lower print quality and increase the chance of jams.

●Do not use paper that is too rough.

●Do not use paper, other than standard 3-hole punched paper, that contains cutouts or perforations.

●Do not use multipart forms.

●Do not use paper that has already been printed on, or that has been fed through a photocopier.

●Do not use paper that contains a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.

Paper that can damage the printer

In rare circumstances, paper can damage the printer. The following paper must be avoided to prevent possible damage to the printer:

●Do not use paper with staples attached, or paper from which staples were removed. Staples can damage the printer and could void the warranty.

●Do not use transparencies that are designed for Inkjet printers or other low temperature printers, or for monochrome printing. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.

●Do not use photo paper that is intended for Inkjet printers.

●Do not use paper that is embossed or coated, or any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, misaligns, or discolors when exposed to 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second. Also, do not use letterhead paper that is made with dyes or inks that cannot withstand that temperature.
