When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
● Verify that the label’s adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190°C (374°F) for
0.1 second.
● Verify that adhesive material is not exposed between the labels. Exposed areas can
cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive
can also cause damage to printer components.
● Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
● Verify that labels lie flat.
● Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
HP LaserJet Tough paper
When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:
● Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on
HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print quality problems.
● Use only Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are
designed to work together for optimum printing results.
● In either the software application or the driver, select Tough Paper as the media type, or
print from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:
● Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize,
or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of
approximately 190°C ( 374°F) for 0.1 second.
● Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.
● Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
● To load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face down with the top
edge of the page to the left.
● Before you load preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.
● When simplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into trays 2, 3, 4, and 5
(HP Color LaserJet 5550 models) face-up with the top edge of the page to the left. To
load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face-down with the top edge
of the page to the left.
● When duplex printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5
(Tray 5 HP Color LaserJet 5550 models) face-down with the top edge of the page to the
left. Load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1 face-up with the top edge of the
page to the left.
Recycled paper
This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same
specifications as standard paper; refer to the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide,
