Printer driver help

The printer driver help can be activated from the Help button, the F1 key, or a question mark symbol in the upper-right corner in the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system used). These help screens give detailed information about the driver.

Selecting print media

Before you use the printer, take some time to familiarize yourself with the various media you can use.

The printer is designed to work well with most types of office paper and with 25 percent cotton bond paper. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Find a media type that works well and is easy to purchase.

Use HP media for optimum print quality. These print media types are specifically designed to work well with the printer. For ordering information and part numbers, see “HP Supplies and Accessories.”

The following table provides detailed information on the media you can use with each paper path. For information on media types supported by each paper path, see “Load paper.”
