Media Specifications General Media Specifications NOTE: Advise users always to test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities. Paper suppliers should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide and this chapter. NOTE: The HP LaserJet 2100 printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and customsize paper. Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this manual can cause the following problems: • Poor print quality. • Increased paper jams. • Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair. Some paper may 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 Hewlett-Packard has no control. CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet HP specifications may cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements. 28 Chapter 2 Operating Requirements C4170-90959
