PCL or PS font list
Use the font lists to see which fonts are currently installed in the printer. (The font lists also show 
which fonts are resident on a hard disk or flash DIMM.)
The PS font list shows the PS fonts installed, and gives a sample of those fonts. The following 
describes the information that can be found on the PCL font list:
●Font gives the font names and samples.
●Pitch/Point  indicates the pitch and point size of the font.
●Escape Sequence  (a PCL 5e programming command) is used to select the designated font. 
(See the legend at the bottom of the font list page.)
●Font #  is the number used to select fonts from the printer control panel (not the software 
application). Do not confuse the font # with the font ID, described below. The number 
indicates the DIMM slot where the font is stored.
 SOFT: Downloaded fonts that stay resident in the printer until other fonts are downloaded  to replace them or until the printer is turned off.
 INTERNAL: Fonts that permanently reside in the printer.
●Font ID  is the number you assign to soft fonts when you download them through software.
1 Disk Information  indicates the disk model number, serial number, capacity, available free 
space, and whether you can write to the disk.
2 File Size  column indicates the size of each file under the Directory/File Name column. If a 
directory is listed on the line, then Directory app ears in this column, and its path is listed in 
the Directory/File Name column.
3 Directory/File Name  indicates the name of the file. Files in a subdirectory are listed right 
after the directory line. The files are not necessarily listed in alphabetic order.

Paper weight equivalence table 
Use this table to determine approximate equivalent basis weight in weight specifications other 
than U.S. bond weight. For example, to determine the equivalent of 20 lb U.S. bond weight paper 
in U.S. cover weight, locate the bond weight (in row two, first column) and scan across the row to 
the cover weight (in the third column). The equivalent is 75 g/m
2 (28 lb).
Note Shaded areas indicate a standard weight for that grade.

Envelope margins
The following table gives typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or DL envelope.
NoteFor the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edges of the 
envelope.
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. 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 can cause the following problems:
●Poor print quality
●Increased jams and multiple-sheet feeds
●Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard 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 HP has no control.
Before purchasing a large quantity of paper, make sure it meets the requirements specified in 
this user guide and in the  Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media  guide. Always test paper 
before purchasing a large quantity. For more information, see  www.hp.com/go/ljpaper
.
CAUTIONUsing paper outside HP specifications can cause pr oblems for the printer, requiring repair. This 
repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
