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, vellum, 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 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 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’s guide and in the HP LaserJet

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

page 10.) 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.
