3 Common Printing Tasks

 

Selecting Media

 

Many types of paper and other print media can be used with the

 

printer, within certain specifications. Using media that does not

 

meet the specifications outlined in this chapter can increase the

 

incidence of media jams, contribute to repair and maintenance

 

costs, and cause premature wear, print quality problems, and

 

problems requiring service. This service might not be covered by

 

the HP warranty or service agreements.

 

Before purchasing media or specialized forms, test a small

 

quantity in the printer. Make sure your media supplier obtains

 

and understands the media and print media specifications in the

 

HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specifications Guide. (For

 

ordering information, see “Accessories, Options, and Related

 

Products” in chapter 8.)

 

 

Note

It is possible that media could meet all of the specifications in this

 

chapter and still not print satisfactorily. This might be caused by

 

abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or other

 

variables over which HP has no control, such as extremes in

 

temperature and humidity.

 

 

zUse only print media that meets the specifications outlined in this chapter.

zDo not attempt to print unsupported sizes or weights of media or other unsupported media. For more information on supported media, see “Supported Media Weights and Sizes for Input Trays” on the next page.

zAlways handle transparencies and glossy media by their edges to avoid fingerprints in the image area.
