Selecting paper
You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. This section provides
guidelines and specifications for selecting and using different print media.
Before purchasing any paper or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier
obtains and understands the print media requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family
Print Media Specification Guide.
See the HP Color LaserJet 3500 and 3700 series printer User Guide or HP LaserJet Printer Family
Print Media Specification Guide for ordering information. To download a copy of the HP LaserJet
Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide go to http://www.hp.com/support/clj3500
for the
HP Color LaserJet 3500 series and to http://www.hp.com/support/clj3700
for the HP Color
LaserJet 3700 series, and then select manuals.
It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter or the HP LaserJet Printer
Family Print Media Specification Guide and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to
abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over which Hewlett-
Packard has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).
Hewlett-Packard recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities.
CAUTION Using paper that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the print media guide can
cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty
or service agreements.
