Special paper and print media guidelines table
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer supports printing on special media. Use the following
guidelines to obtain satisfactory results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the
type and size in your printer driver to obtain the best print results.
CAUTION: HP LaserJet printers use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise
dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper not designed for this
technology could damage your printer.
