Important information for choosing your paperA
This section gives information to help you choose paper to use with this machine.
Note
If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the machine.
 
Before you buy a large quantity of paperA
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the machine.
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 machine 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 machine. Short grain paper is too weak for the 
paper transport of the machine.
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 machine.
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 instructions 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 machine 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.

This parameter selects the bar code mode as shown above. When n is ‘t5’ or ‘T5’ the bar code mode (EAN 
8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according to the number of characters in the data.
Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box drawingA
This parameter chooses the bar code style as above. When the EAN 8, EAN 13, UPC-A, Code 128 or EAN 
128 bar code mode is chosen, this bar code style parameter is ignored.

This parameter shows whether the machine prints the human readable line below the bar code. Human 
readable characters are always printed with OCR-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character style 
enhancements are masked. The default setting is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.
Quiet zoneA
n = ‘onnn’ or ‘Onnn’ (nnn = 0 ~ 32767)
Quiet zone is the space on both sides of the bar codes. Its width can be shown using the units that are set by 
the ‘u’ or ‘U’ parameter. (For the description of ‘u or ‘U parameter, see the next section.) The default setting 
of the quiet-zone width is 1 inch.

This parameter shows the height of bar codes or expanded characters as shown above. It can start with ‘h’, 
‘H’, ‘d’, or ‘D’. The height of bar codes is shown in the ‘u’- or ‘U’-specified unit. The default setting of the bar 
code height (12 mm, 18 mm or 22 mm) is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.

Data that follows ‘b’ or ‘B’ is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the ‘  ’ code (5CH), which 
also ends this command. The acceptable bar code data is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ 
or ‘T’. n = ‘a0’ or ‘A0’ ‘Upright (preset)

When CODE 39 is chosen with the parameter ‘t0’ or ‘T0’
Forty three characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘Z’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘ (space)’, ‘$’, ‘ / ’, ‘+’, and ‘%’ can be accepted as bar code 
data. Other characters will cause a data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The 
bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk ‘ * ’ (start character and stop character). If the 
received data has an asterisk ‘ * ’ at the beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or 
stop character.
 When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter ‘t1’ or ‘T1’:
Ten numerical characters ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause a data error. 
The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. This mode of bar codes needs even characters. If 
the bar code data has odd characters, ‘0’ is automatically added to the end of the bar code data.
 When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter ‘t3’ or ‘T3’
Characters ‘A’ to ‘D’ are valid and one digit of data can be printed. Upper-case and lower-case alphabet 
characters can be accepted.
 When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter ‘t4’ or ‘T4’
Numbers ‘0’ to ‘9 can be data and it must end with a check digit. ‘?’ can be used instead of the check digit.
 When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter ‘t5’ or ‘T5’
Ten numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited 
as follows:
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)
A number of characters other than those stated above will cause a data error that results in the bar code 
data being printed as normal print data. If the check digit is not correct, the machine decides the correct 
check digit automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding 
‘+’ and a two-digit or five-digit number after the data can create an add-on code.
 When UPC-E is selected with the parameter ‘t6’ or ‘T6’:
The numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data.
1‘?’ can be used instead of a check digit.
2Adding ‘+’ and two-digit or five-digit number after the data creates an add-on code.
When Codebar is chosen with the parameter ‘t9’ or ‘T9’
Characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘$’, ‘/’, ‘+’, ‘ : ’ can be printed. Characters ‘A’ to ‘D’ can be printed as a start-stop 
code, which can be upper case or lower case. If there is no start-stop code, errors will happen. A check 
digit cannot be added and using ‘?’ causes errors.
Eight digits
12(standard format) The first character must be ‘0’ and the data must end with a check digit.
Total eight digits = ‘0’ plus 6 digits plus 1 check digit.
Six digits
2The first character and the last check digit are removed from the eight digit data.
