Selecting media to print

You can use paper with up to 100 percent recycled fiber content if it

meets specifications. To order HP paper or the Print Media Guide for

the HP LaserJet printer family, see the user guide.

Highly textured stock might not print evenly. Very glossy paper might

jam or repel toner. Multipart forms can wrinkle or get jammed in the

printer. And paper in poor condition, such as paper with tears,

wrinkles, or bent edges, can jam.

Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, ones that have self-stick

adhesives, or those with clasps or windows. Also avoid envelopes

with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn,

or otherwise damaged.

Use a sturdy envelope of approximately 60 to 90 g/m

(16 to 24 lb)

weight. Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure that the

folds are sharply creased.

The main input tray can hold up to 250 sheets of 75 g/m

(20 lb) print

media. The priority input tray can hold up to 10 sheets, one envelope,

or one piece of heavy media. Both can be adjusted to hold media

measuring from 76.2 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches) to 216 by 356 mm

(8.5 by 14 inches). This includes, but is not limited to, the following

paper and envelope sizes:

Note Narrow and heavy media can cause the printer to print slower.
