Select print media

Consider these factors when choosing print media.

Media that can damage the printer

Do not use media that can damage the printer.
Do not use media with staples attached.
Do not use transparencies, labels, photo, or glossy paper designed for inkjet printers or other low
temperature printers. Use only media that is specified for use with HP Color LaserJet printers.
Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperatures of the fuser.
Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or thermography. Preprinted forms or
letterhead must use inks that are designed for the temperatures of heat of the fuser.
Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors when
exposed to the temperature of the fuser.
To order HP LaserJet printing supplies, go to
http://www.hp.com/ghp/buyonline.html/ worldwide.
http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies/ in the U.S. or to

Media to avoid

Media outside the printer specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the occurrence of jams.
Do not use paper that is too rough. Use paper less than 250 Sheffield smoothness tested.
Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper.
Do not use multi-part or multi-page forms.
To ensure even color, do not use paper with a watermark if printing solid patterns.
