HP LaserJet Tough paper

When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:

●Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print quality problems.

●Use only Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.

damage to the printer.

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 loading 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.

●When duplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2, Tray 3, and Tray 4 face-down with the top edge of the page to the left. To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face-up with the top edge of the page to the left.

●When simplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2, Tray 3, and Tray 4 face-up with the top edge of the page to the left. To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face-down with the top edge of the page to the left.
