3 Selecting and using media Two conditions are necessary for the printer to produce the best possible print quality: q using good-quality media that the printer supports q setting the appropriate type for that media Selecting high-quality media 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 that affect printer performance and print quality. Selecting media by type and size at the control panel and in the printer driver results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper and glossy paper. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media such as labels or transparencies. Always print by size for envelopes. 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: q poor print quality q media jams and multiple-sheet feeds q premature wear on the printer, requiring repair Some media types have been tested, have proven to be of good quality, and work well with the printer's settings. For a list of these media types and settings used to achieve the best quality, see "Recommended media" on page 89. For best results, use HP-brand media, which has been designed to provide optimal performance with HP printers. 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 print media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the print sample guide. Always test media before purchasing a large quantity. For more information, see http://www.hp.com/go/ ljpaper. 3 Selecting and using media 77
