Types of print media to avoid
The following characteristics can affect the performance of the HP LaserJet 4200/4300 printer
unless the paper or other print media used is specifically designed to work with HP LaserJet
printers.
● Print media that is very rough, highly textured, or heavily embossed.
● Multipart forms.
● Print media that offsets materials or discolors.
● Print media that is damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.
● Paper that is extremely shiny or glossy.
● Paper, labels, envelopes, or transparencies that produce undesirable emissions or
melt when exposed to a fusing temperature of 230° C (446° F) for 0.05 second.
● Media coatings, dyes, or inks that produce undesirable emissions or melt when
exposed to a fusing temperature of 230° C (446° F) for 0.05 second.
● Envelopes that have an open flap with the adhesive exposed so that closing the flap
seals the envelope.
● Envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, windows, or synthetic materials. These
materials can severely damage the printer.
● Envelopes that are not square, straight, or constructed correctly. See “Envelope
construction” on page 17.
● Envelopes with a basis weight less than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb) or greater than 105 g/m
2
(28
lb).
● Envelopes with baggy construction or folds that are not sharply creased.
Note Some media types might not work in the printer because of differences in manufacturer
specifications or environmental conditions.
