Choosing paper and other print media The HP LaserJet all-in-one produces documents that have excellent print quality. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size media. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media that is designed for laser printers. See Supported media weights and sizes on page 21 for detailed paper and media specifications. NOTE Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide (HP part number 5963-7863). Supported media weights and sizes For optimum results, use conventional 80 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) photocopy paper. Verify that the paper is of good quality and is free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, curls, and bent edges. NOTE The all-in-one supports a wide range of standard and custom sizes of print media. The capacity of trays and bins can vary depending on media weight and thickness and on environmental conditions. Use only transparencies that are designed for use with HP LaserJet printers. Inkjet and monochrome transparencies are not supported for the all-in-one.
