Understand paper use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user
guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased
jams, and premature wear on the product.
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do not use
paper or print media made for inkjet printers. HP Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of
media because HP cannot control their quality.
It is possible for paper 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/or humidity levels, or other
variables over which HP has no control.

product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
Special paper guidelines
This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory results.
When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in the printer driver to obtain the

CAUTION: HP LaserJet products use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise dots. HP
laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper could damage the product.
