Printer media specifications
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer 
accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including 
recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and 
custom-sized 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 user guide. Media that 
does not meet these guidelines might cause the following 
problems:
● Poor print quality
● Increased media 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 improper handling, unacceptable temperature and 
humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard 
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 
Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media. (See Accessories 
and ordering information for more information about ordering the 
guidelines.) 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.
