Print media specifications
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of print
media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture
content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality.
The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the
guidelines in this guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following
problems:
● Poor print quality
● Increased jams
● Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
For best results, use only 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.
It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce
satisfactory results. This might be the result of incorrect handling, unacceptable temperature
and humidity levels, or other variables over which HP has no control.
Before you purchase a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements
specified in this user guide and in HP LaserJet Printer Family Media Guide. The guidelines
can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide/. Always test media before
you purchase a large quantity.
CAUTION
Using media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might cause problems for
the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or
service agreements.
