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.
