Media specifications
The device accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper, including up to 100% recycled fiber
content paper; envelopes; labels; transparencies; and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight,
composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect device performance and output
quality. Media that does not meet the guidelines that are outlined in this manual can cause the following
problems:
●
Poor print quality
●
Increased jams
●
Premature wear on the device, requiring repair
NOTE Some media might meet all of media specifications and still not produce satisfactory
results. Improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, and other variables
over which Hewlett-Packard has no control can affect print quality. Before purchasing large
quantities of media, make sure that it meets the requirements that are specified in the user guide
and in theHP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide, which is available for download
at
