Caution Transparencies Use only transparencies supported for use in this printer, such as HP Color LaserJet transparencies (for ordering information, see "Accessories, Options, and Related Products" in chapter 9). Using transparencies that do not meet the specifications for this printer can cause poor print quality and media jams. Although this printer supports transparencies between 4 and 5 mils (0.10 to 0.13 mm) thick, HP recommends using 5-mil (0.13-mm) thick transparencies. To prevent damage to the printer, transparencies must be able to withstand the printer's fusing temperature (approximately 374° F, or 190° C). Handle transparencies by the edges. Oils from your fingers can be deposited on the transparencies, causing print quality problems. Heavy Paper Stock Heavy paper stock is any paper heavier than 28 lb up to 58 lb (105 to 216 g/m²) bond. Always print heavy paper stock from tray 1. In the printer driver, select Heavy Paper as the paper type on the Paper tab to ensure the correct finish on the media. Also, use the left (face-up) output bin to prevent media jams. For more information on changing the printer driver settings, see the online help. Do not use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 58 lb, or 216 g/m² bond). Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessive mechanical wear can result. 54 Chapter 3 - Common Printing Tasks EN

Transparencies
Caution
Use only transparencies supported for use in this printer, such as HP
Color LaserJet transparencies (for ordering information, see
“Accessories, Options, and Related Products” in chapter 9). Using
transparencies that do not meet the specifications for this printer can
cause poor print quality and media jams.
Although this printer supports transparencies between 4 and 5 mils (0.10
to 0.13 mm) thick, HP recommends using 5-mil (0.13-mm) thick
transparencies.
To prevent damage to the printer, transparencies must be able to
withstand the printer’s fusing temperature (approximately 374° F, or
190° C).
Handle transparencies by the edges. Oils from your fingers can be
deposited on the transparencies, causing print quality problems.
Heavy Paper Stock
Heavy paper stock is any paper heavier than 28 lb up to 58 lb (105 to
216 g/m²) bond. Always print heavy paper stock from tray 1. In the
printer driver, select
Heavy Paper
as the paper type on the Paper tab to
ensure the correct finish on the media. Also, use the left (face-up) output
bin to prevent media jams. For more information on changing the printer
driver settings, see the online help.
Do not
use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 58 lb, or 216 g/m²
bond). Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print
quality, and excessive mechanical wear can result.
