Avoid using paper that has embossed or raised surfaces, because spotty printing and misfeeding can occur. It is possible to
print satisfactorily on paper that has embossed areas in the leading edge, trailing edge, or areas where print will not appear
on the paper; however, misfeeding or jamming can occur.
finishing precision
Dimensions (length and width) of a piece of media, how closely it is cut to the stated size, and how square it is. Use media
that is accurately cut, so that it can be handled properly.
furnish (composition)
Composition (furnish) is the mixture of various materials, such as fiber, filler, sizing materials, and other additives, that is
used to make the paper stock.
fusing compatibility
Compatibility of print media used in the printer and how it reacts when exposed to the fuser temperature of:
●
205°C (401°F) for 0.1 second (0.2 second for HP color LaserJet printers) for paper, labels, and envelopes; and
●
205°C (401°F) for 0.1 second (0.4 second for HP color LaserJet printers) for overhead transparency materials.
Print media should not discolor, melt, offset, release undesirable emissions, or break down in any way when exposed to
these temperatures for the specified time period.
grain
The orientation of paper fibers in paper. Fibers tend to align themselves in the process direction of the paper machine.
Papers are stiffer in the grain direction. Most cut sheet papers are cut long grain (that is, with the grain direction parallel with
the long edge of the sheet). For heavier-weight papers (greater than 135 g/m

in weight), HP recommends using short-grain
paper, if available, to improve feeding and reduce wear to the paper path.
grammage
Grammage is the metric standard for specifying paper weight and is expressed in grams per square meter.
gray background
Paper looks gray or appears dirty because small toner particles are transferred to non-printed areas (white space), and can
be corrected by changing paper or increasing the toner density setting on your printer. This condition is a symptom of a
print-quality problem.
groundwood
Wood fibers that are extracted using a mechanical rather than a chemical process. Groundwood papers are generally
weaker than chemical-wood papers.

MFP
Multifunction peripheral; also known as multifunction product or multifunction printer.

One mil equals 0.001 inches.

How much moisture print media will absorb or lose, depending on the humidity in the surrounding air.
Paper is hygroscopic, that is, it will absorb or lose moisture depending on the humidity in the air around it. The moisture
content of paper has a great effect on its resistivity. Paper will absorb moisture in a high-humidity environment and lose
