							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 the following problems:
●Poor print quality
●Increased jams
●Premature wear on the product, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laserjets or multiuse. Do not
use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard 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 Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION:Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packards specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.
