Selecting print media

This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper, including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper; envelopes; labels; transparencies; and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines that are outlined in this manual can cause the following problems:

●Poor print quality

●Increased jams

●Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

NOTE Some paper might meet all of the guidelines in this manual 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 purchasing large quantities of media, make sure that it meets the requirements that are specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide, which is available for download at http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide. Always test paper before buying large quantities.

CAUTION Using media that does not meet HP specifications can cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
