Understand paper use

This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause poor print quality,
increased jams, and premature wear on the product.

For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do
not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend
the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.

It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

CAUTION:

Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might

cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.

Special paper guidelines

This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory
results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in the printer driver
to obtain the best results.

CAUTION:

HP LaserJet products use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise

dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper could damage the
product.
