Important information for choosing your paperA
This section gives information to help you choose paper to use with this printer.
Note
If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the printer. (See 
Recommended paperon page 7.)
 
Before you buy a large quantity of paperA
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the printer.
Paper for plain paper copies
A
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually written on 
the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable for laser printers. Use paper that is 
suitable for laser printers.
Basis weight
A
The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend that you use paper 
that weighs 75 to 90 g/m
2 (20 to 24 lb), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than 
these weights.
Long grain and short grain
A
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. And paper can be classified into two types, 
long grain and short grain. 
Long grain paper fibers run in the same direction as the long edge of the paper. Short grain paper fibers run 
perpendicular to the long edge of the paper. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short 
grain. We recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper is too weak for the 
paper transport of the printer.
Acid paper and neutralized paper
A
Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.
Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, neutralized paper is recently taking the 
place of acid paper because of environmental issues.
However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend that you use neutralized 
paper for this printer.
You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.

Print surfaceA
The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.
Usually, the opening side of the paper ream package is the print side. Follow the indications on the paper 
package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.
Moisture content
A
Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important 
characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually 
paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can 
sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the 
characteristics of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the 
paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment be between 50% and 
60%.

Quick reference for bar code control commandsA
The printer can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet emulation modes.
Print bar codes or expanded charactersA
Format: ESC i n ... n \
Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters ‘n ... n’. For more 
information about parameters, see the following Definition of Parameters. This command must end with the 
‘  ’ code (5CH).
Definition of parametersA
This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n ... n). As parameters 
are effective within the single command syntax ESC i n ... n \, they do not apply in the bar code commands. 
If certain parameters are not given, they take the preset settings. The last parameter must be the bar code 
data start (‘b’ or ‘B’) or the expanded character data start (‘l’ or ‘L’). Other parameters can be given in any 
sequence. Each parameter can start with a lower-case or upper-case character, for example, ‘t0’ or ‘T0’, ‘s3’ 
or ‘S3’ and so one.
