Selecting print media
You can use many types of paper and other print media with this
printer. This section provides guidelines and specifications for
selecting and using different print media.
Before purchasing any media or specialized forms in quantity, verify
that your paper supplier obtains and understands the print media
requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Family Paper Specification
Guide.

Specification Guide ordering information. To download a copy of the

It is possible that media could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter
and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to abnormal
characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over
which Hewlett-Packard has no control (for example, extremes in
temperature and humidity).
Hewlett-Packard recommends testing any media before buying it
in large quantities.
CAUTION Using media that does not conform to the specifications listed here or
in the paper specification guide can cause problems that require
service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty
or service agreements.
