requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
The device accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled-fiber-
content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, LaserJet glossy paper, HP LaserJet Tough paper,
and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are
important factors that affect performance and output quality. Media that does not meet the guidelines
outlined in this manual can cause the following problems:
●Poor print quality
●Increased jams
●Premature wear on the device, requiring repair
Choosing paper and other media
Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect performance
and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media that is designed for
laser printers. See 
Guidelines for using media on page 16 for detailed paper and media specifications.
NOTE:Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media supplier
should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide
(HP part number 5963-7863). See 
Guidelines for using media on page 16 for more information.
HP media

							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 or bent edges.
If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label
on the package of paper.
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the device.
SymptomProblem with paperSolution
Poor print quality or toner adhesion
Problems with feedingToo moist, too rough, too smooth, or
embossedTry another kind of paper that has a
smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield
and has 4-6 % moisture content.
Check the device and make sure that the
appropriate media type has been
selected.
Dropouts, jamming, or curlStored improperlyStore paper flat in its moisture-proof
wrapping.
Increased gray background shadingMight be too heavyUse lighter paper.
Excessive curl
Problems with feedingToo moist, wrong grain direction, or
short-grain constructionUse long-grain paper.
Check the device and make sure that the
appropriate media type has been
selected.
Jamming or damage to deviceCutouts or perforationsDo not use paper with cutouts or
perforations.
Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper.
NOTE:The device uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored
paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the fuser temperature of 200°C (392°F) for
0.1 second.
Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of
thermography.
Do not use raised letterhead.
Do not use transparencies that are designed for inkjet printers or other low-temperature printers. Use
only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.

							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 load them.
Labels
HP recommends that you print labels from the priority input tray. See Loading media on page 24 for
more information.
CAUTION:Do not feed a sheet of labels through the device more than once. The adhesive degrades
and might damage the device.
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:
●Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the maximum fuser
temperature.
●Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets
that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
●Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.
●Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), the maximum fuser temperature.
CAUTION:You can print transparencies from the 150-sheet tray (tray 1). However, do not load more
than 75 transparencies at one time into the tray.
ENWWGuidelines for using media 17
 
						

							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 exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb), or jamming might 
result. 
● Construction : Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) of curl, 
and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap  air can cause problems. Do not use envelopes that 
contain clasps, snaps, tie strings, transparent  windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, synthetic 
materials, stamping, or embossing. Do not use en velopes with adhesives that require pressure to 
seal them. 
● Condition : Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Make 
sure that the envelopes do not have any exposed adhesive.
Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction has  vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather 
than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely  to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam extends all 
the way to the corner of  the envelope as shown in the following illustration:
1

1Acceptable envelope construction
2Unacceptable envelope construction
18 Chapter 3   Media specifications ENWW
 
						

							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.
Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some
card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a
laser printer.
For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m
2 (42 lb). Paper that is too heavy might
cause misfeeds, stacking problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical
wear.
NOTE:You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if
you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
In either the software program or the printer driver, select Heavy (106 g/m2 to 163 g/m2; 28- to 43-lb
bond) or Cardstock (135 g/m2 to 216 g/m2; 50- to 80-lb cover) as the media type, or print from a tray
that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the
device back to its original settings after the job has printed.
Card stock construction
●Smoothness: 135-157 g/m2 (36-42 lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of
100-180 Sheffield. 60-135 g/m2 (16-36 lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of
100-250 Sheffield.
●Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl.
●Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock guidelines
●Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 inch) away from the edges.
●Use tray 1 for card stock (135 g/m
2 to 216 g/m2; 50- to 80-lb cover).

							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 cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser modes that are available on some printer models
to achieve adequate toner adhesion.
NOTE:Some page-to-page variation is normal when printing with laser printers. This variation cannot
be observed when printing on plain paper. However, this variation is obvious when printing on preprinted
forms because the lines and boxes are already placed on the page.
To avoid problems when using preprinted forms, embossed paper, and letterhead, observe the following
guidelines:
●Avoid using low-temperature inks (the kind used with some types of thermography).
●Use preprinted forms and letterhead paper that have been printed by offset lithography or
engraving.
●Use forms that have been created with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release
emissions when heated to 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. Typically, oxidation-set or oil-based inks
meet this requirement.
●When the form is preprinted, be careful not to change the moisture content of the paper, and do
not use materials that change the papers electrical or handling properties. Seal the forms in
moisture-proof wrap to prevent moisture changes during storage.
●Avoid processing preprinted forms that have a finish or coating.
●Avoid using heavily embossed or raised-letterhead papers.
●Avoid papers that have heavily textured surfaces.
●Avoid using offset powders or other materials that prevent printed forms from sticking together.
NOTE:To print a single-page cover letter on letterhead, followed by a multiple-page document, feed
the letterhead face up in the priority input tray, and load the standard paper in the main input tray (tray 1).
The device automatically prints from the priority input tray first.
