General guidelines
Some media might meet all of the guidelines in this manual and still not produce satisfactory results.
This problem might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, always test a sample and make sure that the print
media meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print
Media Guide, which...

Media that can damage the device
In rare circumstances media can damage the device. Avoid the following types of media to prevent
possible damage:
●Do not use media with staples attached.
●Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low-temperature printers. Use only
transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
●Do not use photo paper intended for inkjet printers.
●Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperature of the...

Guidelines for using media
The following sections provide guidelines and instructions for printing on transparencies, envelopes,
and other special media. Guidelines and specifications are included to help you select media that
optimizes print quality and avoid media that can cause jams or damage the device.
Paper
For best results, use conventional 80-g/m2 or 20-lb paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality
and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled...

Colored paper
●Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
●Pigments used must be able to withstand the fuser temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second
without deterioration.
●Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
Custom-size media
Use the main input tray for multiple sheets. See Supported media weights and sizes on page 21 for
the supported media sizes.
CAUTION:Make sure that the sheets are not stuck together before you...

Envelopes
HP recommends that you print envelopes from the priority input tray. See Loading media
on page 24 for more information.
Envelope construction
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between 
manufacturers, but also within a box from the sa me manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes 
depends upon the quality of the envelopes. W hen selecting envelopes, consider the following 
components: 
● Weight : The weight of the envelope paper should not...

Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the device: 200°C (392°F). The extra flaps and
strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air is
trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

Letterhead and preprinted forms
Letterhead is premium paper that often has a watermark, sometimes uses cotton fiber, and is available
in a wide range of colors and finishes with matching envelopes. Preprinted forms can be made of a
broad spectrum of paper types ranging from recycled to premium.
Many manufacturers now design these grades of paper with properties optimized for laser printing and
advertise the paper as laser compatible or laser guaranteed. Some of the rougher surface finishes, such
as...
