Understand paper use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media. Paper or print media that does not meet
the following guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the

It is possible for paper to meet all of these guidelines 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 Hewlett-Packard has no control.
