HP LaserJet 1020 Plus Printer - Manual (Page 21)

Printer media considerations
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-
sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-size
paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer
performance and output quality.
The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:
● Poor print quality
● Increased media jams
● Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot
recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control
their quality.
It is possible for media 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 humidity levels,
or other variables over which HP has no control.
Before purchasing a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified in this
user guide and in the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide. The guidelines can be downloaded
from
http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide/ or see Ordering supplies on page 92 for more
information about ordering the guidelines. Always test media before you purchase a large quantity.
CAUTION: Using media that does not meet HP's specifications might cause problems for the printer,
requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
