HP LaserJet Tough paper
When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:
● Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on
HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print quality problems.
● Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work
together for optimum printing results.
● In either the software application or the printer driver, select TOUGH PAPER as the
media type, or print from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
CAUTION Transparent media that are not designed for LaserJet printing will melt in the printer, causing
damage to the printer.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
When printing on preprinted forms and letterhead, observe the following guidelines for best
results:
● Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize,
or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of
approximately 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.
● Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.
● Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
● Before loading preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.
● When duplex printing on the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series printer, load preprinted forms
and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3 first side up, top edge toward the back of the tray.
To load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them with the first side down,
bottom edge in first.
● When simplex (1-sided) printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and
Tray 3 face-up with the top edge of the page to the left. To load preprinted forms and
letterhead into Tray 1, place them in the tray with the side to be printed on facing up, and
top, short edge in first.
Recycled paper
This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same
