Media specifications
This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100 percent
recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size paper.
Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors
affecting printer performance and output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines
outlined in this manual can cause the following problems:
poor print quality
increased jams
premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
Note Some paper might meet all of the guidelines in this manual 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 purchasing large quantities of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified
in this use guide and in the hp LaserJet printer family print media guide (available at
http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide). Always test paper before buying large quantities.
CAUTION Using media that does not meet HP specifications can cause problems for the printer, requiring
repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
Supported sizes of media
Note You might experience some jams when using any media with a length less than
178 mm (7 inches). This can be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental
conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the media correctly
(see “Printing and paper storage environment” on page 138).
