Table 4-1 Media considerations (continued) Media type Considerations CAUTION Failure to follow these guidelines can damage the device. If a sheet of labels becomes jammed in the device, see Clear jams. Transparencies NOTE Choose labels in the printer driver (see Open the printer drivers). ● Print transparencies from tray 1. ● Use only transparencies specified for use with HP LaserJet printers ● Remove transparencies from the output bin as they are printed to prevent them from sticking together. ● Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the device. NOTE Choose transparencies in the printer driver (see Open the printer drivers). Card stock and heavy media You can print many types of card stock from the input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer. ● Use tray 1 for card stock (164 g/m2 to 199 g/m2; 43- to 53-lb cover). ● Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl. ● Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. ● Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 inch) away from the edges. CAUTION In general, do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this device. Doing so can cause misfeeds, jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear. However, some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can be used safely. NOTE Select Cardstock (164 g/m2 to 199 g/m2; 43- to 53-lb cover) in the printer driver. 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. ENWW Considerations for special media 65
