Paper specifications

HP LaserJet 4200/4300 printers produce excellent print quality. This printer accepts a variety of print media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size paper. Paper properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and output quality.

The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the following guidelines. Media that does not meet these guidelines can cause the following problems:

poor print quality more jams

premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

Note

For best results, use only high-quality media, such as HP-brand paper and print media.

 

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP

 

products, HP cannot influence or control their quality. To order HP quality papers and supplies,

 

go to http://www.hp.com or visit your local HP authorized reseller.

 

It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines specified here 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 a large quantity of paper, make sure that it meets the requirements specified

 

here and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. Go to

 

http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide for more information. Always test paper before

 

purchasing a large quantity.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

Using media that is outside HP specifications can cause problems for the printer, requiring repair.

 

This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
