Guidelines for using media Note HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100 percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. Paper and Transparencies Paper must be of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, holes, and curled or bent edges. Check the label on the paper package for details about the type of paper (such as bond or recycled). Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer. Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography, raised letterhead, or colored paper or preprinted forms that use inks incompatible with the printer temperature [200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second]. Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer's maximum temperature. Common media problems table Symptom Poor print quality or toner adhesion, or problems with feeding.

Guidelines for using media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of
media, such as paper (including up to 100 percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes,
labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media.
Paper and Transparencies
Paper must be of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust,
wrinkles, holes, and curled or bent edges. Check the label on the paper package for details
about the type of paper (such as bond or recycled).
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.
Note
Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography, raised letterhead, or colored paper or preprinted forms that use inks
incompatible with the printer temperature [200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second].
Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum
temperature.
Common media problems table
Symptom
Problem with paper
Solution
Poor print quality or toner
adhesion, or problems with
feeding.
Too moist, too rough, too
smooth, or embossed. Faulty
paper lot.
Try another kind of paper
between 100 and 250 Sheffield
and 4 to 6 percent moisture
content.
Dropouts, jamming, or curl.
Stored improperly.
Store paper flat in its moisture-
proof wrapping.
Increased gray background
shading.
Might be too heavy.
Use lighter paper.
Excessive curl, or problems with
feeding.
Too moist, wrong grain
direction, or short-grain
construction.
Use long-grain paper. Print
using the straight-through
output path.
Jamming, or damage to printer.
Cutouts or perforations.
Do not use paper with cutouts
or perforations.
Problems with feeding.
Ragged edges.
Use good quality paper.
Labels
When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
●
Adhesives:
The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s
maximum 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.
