							Understand paper and print media use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user
guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased
jams, and premature wear on the product.
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do not use
paper or print media made for inkjet printers. HP Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of
media because HP cannot control their quality.
It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels, or
other variables over which HP has no control.
CAUTION:Using paper or print media that does not meet HP’s specifications might cause problems for the
product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
