Paper types and sizes

Paper types and sizes

The HP Fax is designed to work optimally with plain paper (cotton bond: 20 lb.,

75 g/m2) in the following sizes: A4, Letter, and Legal.

TIP: Some papers have a side that’s been conditioned for printing. The print side is usually indicated on the paper’s packaging. Always load with the print side facing you.

You can load up to 50 sheets of paper in the paper tray. Satisfactory print and receive quality can be obtained with many types of plain paper. Since the quality of plain paper varies widely, test the print quality before buying large quantities of paper. Your machine uses a variety of papers including:

•Copier paper

•Bond paper

•Dual-purpose paper

Because all paper varies in physical characteristics, you can receive mixed results from different packages of paper even though the packages contain the same type of paper. If you encounter undesirable results, try the other side of the paper, a different type, or another package of the same kind of paper.

Do not use the following types of paper with your machine:

•Continuous form feed paper

•Synthetic paper (Tyvek®, etc.)

•Thermal paper

•Multi-sheet forms and documents

•Chemically treated paper (pressure-sensitive paper, carbon-coated paper, etc.)

•Coated (glossy, photo, etc.)

•Papers with raised, embossed lettering
