Media Selection Guidelines Note CAUTION More detailed specifications are in the HP LaserJet 8000, 8000 N, 8000 DN, and HP Mopier 240 Printers User Guide and the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide. See "Technical Assistance" on page 31. Paper To achieve the best possible print quality and avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines for selecting paper: Use only copier grade paper that meets all specifications in the paper specification guide. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the fusing temperature of 392° F (200° C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced. Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heatresistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the fusing temperature of 392° F (200° C) for 0.1 second. A small sample of a new print media should be tested before purchasing large quantities. Envelopes To prevent severe damage to the printer, do not use envelopes that have windows, clasps, snaps, or any non-paper materials. Print Envelopes to the Left Output Bin only. Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 and from the optional Envelope Feeder. Choose envelopes that are well-constructed. They should lie flat and be sharply creased. They should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Envelope adhesive must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing process. EN Media Selection Guidelines 11
