HP LaserJet M1005 Multifunction Printer series - Manual (Page 99)

● Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
● The device uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper
or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200°C or 392°F for
0.1 second).
CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines could cause jams or damage to the device.
Solving print-media problems
The following problems with media cause print-quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the
device.
Problem Cause Solution
Poor print quality or toner
adhesion The paper is too moist, too rough, too
heavy or too smooth, or it is embossed
or from a faulty paper lot. Try another kind of paper, between 100 and 250 Sheffield,
with 4 to 6% moisture content.
Dropouts, jamming, or
curl The paper has been stored incorrectly. Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping.
The paper has variability from one side
to the other. Turn the paper over.
Excessive curl The paper is too moist, has the wrong
grain direction, or is of short-grain
construction Use long-grain paper, or use the Less paper curl setting.
See
Reducing paper curl on page 100 .
The paper varies from side-to-side. Turn the paper over.
Jamming, damage to
device The paper has cutouts or perforations. Use paper that is free of cutouts or perforations.
Problems with feeding The paper has ragged edges. Use high-quality paper that is made for laser printers.
The paper varies from side-to-side. Turn the paper over.

Print is skewed
(crooked). The media guides might be incorrectly
adjusted. Remove all media from the input tray, straighten the stack,
and then load the media in the input tray again. Adjust the
media guides to the width and length of the media that you
are using and try printing again.
More than one sheet
feeds at one time. The media tray might be overloaded. Remove some of the media from the tray. See Loading
media on page 24 .
The media might be wrinkled, folded,
or damaged. Verify that the media is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
Try printing on media from a new or different package.
