Table 4-1 Media considerations (continued) Media type Considerations Letterhead and preprinted forms Letterhead is premium paper that often has a watermark, sometimes uses cotton fiber, and is available in a wide range of colors and finishes with matching envelopes. Preprinted forms can be made of a broad spectrum of paper types ranging from recycled to premium. Many manufacturers now design these grades of paper with properties optimized for laser printing and advertise the paper as laser compatible or laser guaranteed. Some of the rougher surface finishes, such as cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser modes that are available on some printer models to achieve adequate toner adhesion. NOTE: Some page-to-page variation is normal when printing with laser printers. This variation cannot be observed when printing on plain paper. However, this variation is obvious when printing on preprinted forms because the lines and boxes are already placed on the page. To avoid problems when using preprinted forms, embossed paper, and letterhead, observe the following guidelines: ● Use preprinted forms and letterhead paper that have been printed by offset lithography or engraving. ● When the form is preprinted, be careful not to change the moisture content of the paper, and do not use materials that change the paper's electrical or handling properties. Seal the forms in moisture-proof wrap to prevent moisture changes during storage. NOTE: To print a single-page cover letter on letterhead, followed by a multiple-page document, feed the letterhead face up in tray 1, and load the standard paper into one of the other trays. The device automatically prints from tray 1 first. Vellum Vellum is special lightweight paper similar to parchment. ● Print vellum from tray 1 only. ● Do not print on both sides of vellum. NOTE: From the printer driver, set the type of paper for tray 1 to vellum or light, and select the media by type. Colored paper HP LaserJet Tough paper Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper. ● Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results. ● Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper by the edges. Oils from your fingers can cause print-quality problems. Recycled paper This device supports recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same specifications as standard paper. See the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. Hewlett-Packard recommends that recycled paper contain no more than 5% ground wood. 64 Chapter 4 Media and trays ENWW
