CAUTION Note The following guidelines should be considered when working with a knowledgeable vendor to develop media that will have perforations or die-cuts: q So that edge trimmings will not scratch the photosensitive drum, punch cutouts and perforations from the side to be printed. q Round all corners of a cutout to prevent snagging or, in the case of labels, peeling. q Ensure that die-cutting of labels does not penetrate the liner sheet. q Ensure that cutouts are not made at a position where paper-path sensors are located. q Some printers do not support printing closer than 10 mm (0.4 inch) to a cutout edge or perforation in order to avoid toner contamination. For more information about your printer's specifications, see the support documentation that came with your printer. q All cuts should be clean (no burrs) and free of edge rollover to prevent nesting, poor feeding, contamination, or wear on the printer. q Orient perforations in the direction of paper feeding to minimize tenting or feeding problems from reduced stiffness. q Do not run perforations closer than 2 mm (0.08 inch) from the paper edge or 25 mm (1 inch) from the leading edge, or jamming and feeding problems can result. Guidelines for using paper Use conventional white copier paper for most printing. The paper should be of high quality and free of the following defects: q cuts q tears q grease spots q loose particles q dust q wrinkles and voids q curled or bent edges Avoid using extremely heavy or light paper. Use paper that is within your printer's specified basis-weight range, as shown in the support documentation that came with your printer. The following table summarizes the guidelines that provide the best performance when using paper. The specifications that are listed in this table generally apply to all HP LaserJet printers. See the support documentation that came with your printer for product-specific information. 2 Guidelines for using media 9

2 Guidelines for using media
9
The following guidelines should be considered when working with a knowledgeable vendor
to develop media that will have perforations or die-cuts:
●
So that edge trimmings will not scratch the photosensitive drum, punch cutouts and
perforations from the side to be printed.
●
Round all corners of a cutout to prevent snagging or, in the case of labels, peeling.
●
Ensure that die-cutting of labels does not penetrate the liner sheet.
●
Ensure that cutouts are not made at a position where paper-path sensors are located.
●
Some printers do not support printing closer than 10 mm (0.4 inch) to a cutout edge or
perforation in order to avoid toner contamination. For more information about your
printer’s specifications, see the support documentation that came with your printer.
●
All cuts should be clean (no burrs) and free of edge rollover to prevent nesting, poor
feeding, contamination, or wear on the printer.
●
Orient perforations in the direction of paper feeding to minimize tenting or feeding
problems from reduced stiffness.
●
Do not run perforations closer than 2 mm (0.08 inch) from the paper edge or 25 mm
(1 inch) from the leading edge, or jamming and feeding problems can result.
Guidelines for using paper
Use conventional white copier paper for most printing. The paper should be of high quality
and free of the following defects:
●
cuts
●
tears
●
grease spots
●
loose particles
●
dust
●
wrinkles and voids
●
curled or bent edges
CAUTION
Avoid using extremely heavy or light paper. Use paper that is within your printer’s specified
basis-weight range, as shown in the support documentation that came with your printer.
The following table summarizes the guidelines that provide the best performance when
using paper.
Note
The specifications that are listed in this table generally apply to all HP LaserJet printers.
