Choosing paper and other media Note 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-size 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 highquality media designed for laser printers. See Printer media specifications for detailed paper and media specifications. 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). See Printer media specifications for more information. HP media HP recommends the following HP media: ● HP Multipurpose Paper ● HP Office Paper ● HP All-in-One Printing Paper ● HP LaserJet Paper ● HP Premium Choice LaserJet Paper Media to avoid The HP LaserJet 1160 and HP LaserJet 1320 series printers can handle many types of media. Use of media outside the printer's specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the chance of paper jams occurring. ● Do not use paper that is too rough. ● Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper. ● Do not use multipart forms. ● Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns. Media that may damage the printer In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided to prevent possible damage: ● Do not use media with staples attached. ● Do not use transparencies designed for Inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers. ● Do not use photo paper intended for Inkjet printers. 48 Chapter 4 Printing tasks ENWW
