HP LaserJet Tough paper
Tough paper is a robust plastic film that will not tear and withstands the weather. 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 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP Products are
designed to work together for optimum printing results.
● In either the software application or the driver, select Tough Paper as the media type, or
print from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:
● 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, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5
face-down with the top edge of the page to the left. To load pre-printed forms and
letterhead into Tray 1, load them face-up with the top edge of the page to the left.
● When simplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5
face-up with the top edge of the page to the left. To load pre-printed forms and
letterhead into Tray 1, load them face-down with the top edge of the page to the left.

This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same
