Choosing paper and other media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of
media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, and custom-sized media. The following are the supported media sizes:
●
Minimum:
76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)
●
Maximum:
216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.)
Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer
performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media
designed for laser printers. See
Printer media specifications
for detailed paper and media
specifications.
Note
Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. The media supplier should
understand the requirements specified in the
Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media
(HP part

Different types of media require different engine fuser temperatures to optimize the print quality.
You can specify the type of media that you are using to print in the printer driver. This changes
the engine fuser to the temperature that is appropriate for that media.

Printer properties (driver)
for instructions.

tab.
