HP LaserJet 4100 Series - User Guide

188 Appendix A - Specifications

Paper specifications

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. This printer

accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including

recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size

paper. 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 manual. Paper that does not

meet these guidelines may cause the following problems:

● poor print quality

● increased paper jams

● premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

Note For best results, use only high quality media, such as 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 paper to 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 a large quantity of paper, make sure it meets the

requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer

Family Paper Specification Guide. (To order the guide, see “Ordering

information” on page 22, or visit the supplies website at

http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies

.) Always test paper before purchasing

a large quantity.

CAUTION Using paper outside HP specifications may cause problems for the

printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-

Packard warranty or service agreements.
