B Print Media Specifications Note Paper Specifications To achieve the best possible print quality and avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines for selecting and storing paper: • Always test a sample of the paper you selected before purchasing large quantities. • Use only high quality, copier grade paper. 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 printer's 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, heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer's approximately 392° F (200° C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl. • During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper. It is possible that print media can meet all of the general specifications listed in this appendix and still not print satisfactorily because of the printing environment or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

Paper Specifications
To achieve the best possible print quality and avoid paper jams, follow
these guidelines for selecting and storing paper:
Always test a sample of the paper you selected before purchasing large
quantities.
Use only high quality, copier grade paper. 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 printer’s 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, heat-resistant
inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subject to the printer’s approximately 392° F (200° C) fusing
temperature for 0.1 second.
Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on
pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of
the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from
moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your
paper.
Note
It is possible that print media can meet all of the general specifications
listed in this appendix and still not print satisfactorily because of the
printing environment or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has
no control.
