The best of mono and color in one device—the new HP CM8060/CM8050 Color
MFPs with Edgeline Technology
The new HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with
Edgeline Technology help you improve productivity
and control operating costs by delivering a powerful
combination of features, including superior performance,
reduced operating costs, high reliability and
intuitive usability.
Powered by Edgeline Technology
Edgeline Technology combines advancements in printheads, ink cartridges and ink formulation into a versatile
MFP architecture designed to meet the diverse needs of
the typical corporate department with ease. The
technology can produce high-quality color prints for
customer-facing documents; everyday quality color prints
for internal reports; and fast, inexpensive black-andwhite prints for the countless reports, letters and other
communications produced by department employees on
any given day. In addition to printing, MFPs with
Edgeline Technology copy in color, scan in color, and
feature e-mail and optional analog fax capabilities.
The HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with
Edgeline Technology are fast
• More than 10k nozzles per printhead in a fixed position
array provide for high-speed office document printing.
• The HP CM8060 prints at average speeds of 60 ppm
mono and 50 ppm color and a maximum speed of 71
ppm black and color.
• The HP CM8050 prints at average speeds of 50 ppm
mono and 40 ppm color and a maximum speed of 57
ppm black and color.
Documents printed on the HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs
with Edgeline Technology are archival quality
• Documents are archival quality, highlighter safe,
forgery-proof and secure.
• Special pigmented ink combined with a bonding agent
provides outstanding print quality in a durable,
fast-drying system.
• The ink prevents print from cracking when folded
or creased.
The HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with
Edgeline Technology are easy to use
• Easy-to-install large-capacity ink cartridges produce 30k
to 40k pages for quick and infrequent ink replacement.
• An easy to navigate full-color touch screen panel pro-
vides clear assistance for loading paper and other
MFP functions.
• Unique LED lights along the paper path quickly guide
you to paper jams for quick and easy clearance.
Printing application certifications
Archival records printing—legal, research, financial,
government and other documents that require archiving
must stand up to the effects of time and environmental
conditions. The HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with
Edgeline Technology have been certified under ISO 11798
for this purpose.
Security printing—preventing forgery and intentional
document alteration and manipulation is required for printing checks and negotiable certificates. The HP
CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with Edgeline Technology
have been certified by PIRA International for APACS
(Association for Payment Clearing Services) in the United
Kingdom for this purpose.
A brand new technology
• They are of good quality for their intended use.
• They work well with the MFPs’ settings.
HP-branded paper is available at www.hp.com/go/paper
or from your local office supplies retailer (see page 4 for
recommended types.) These MFPs can also use
non-HP-brand paper that falls within the specifications for
supported paper (see pages 4 – 5 of this guide).
Set the printer for the appropriate type and size of paper:
• Load paper into one of the five paper uptake trays
(see table below for paper supported in each tray.)
• Select the paper type and size for that tray on the
control panel.
• Be sure to choose paper type in your driver when
printing from your computer (instead of selecting a
paper tray source).
• The printer’s “smart trays” will pull from the first tray
containing the paper size and type you selected.
• When you change the paper type in a tray,
be sure to select the new paper type for that
tray on the control panel.

Using the correct paper input/output option
Moving paper through the HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with Edgeline Technology at high speeds is one of
the MFP’s valuable features. Using the correct tray for each different type of paper will help ensure trouble-free printing. Here is a chart that will help you select the correct option for each paper.

Optimizing your output
This MFP with Edgeline Technology series accepts paper
such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled), labels,
glossy and custom-size paper. Weight, grain direction,
smoothness and moisture content are important factors
that affect MFP performance and print quality. For heavy
and glossy paper, select paper type and size on the
control panel for copy applications and in the printer
driver for print applications. Using the wrong setting can
result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type
for special print paper such as labels, matte brochure,
heavy paper or glossy paper.
Note: Be sure to use paper that falls within the paper
specifications on this page to support optimal
running of your MFP (see page 4 as a guide.) Using
paper that is outside of these HP specifications
could cause problems that require MFP repair. This
repair is not covered by the HP warranty or
service agreements.
The paper types that are listed on page 4 of this guide
meet these criteria:
• They have been tested in these MFPs.
The HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs are designed to work across a broad range of plain
papers used in the general office. For optimum performance we have provided a set of
recommended papers on page 4. For best results, be sure to always select the correct printer
settings for the chosen paper.

Non-Recommended Papers
Selecting the right tray for paper type will
help maximize print quality and productivity.
Here’s a quick list for your use.
Loading specialty brochure paper
The following HP specialty brochure papers are
supported only from Tray 1:
•

Label construction
The following HP labels are supported only from Tray 1:
• HP Multipurpose Paper Labels of any size.
The following are additional considerations when
running labels:
• Arrangement: Labels can peel off sheets that have
spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Do not use sheets with missing labels.
• Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no
more than 13mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels that have wrinkles,
bubbles or other indications of separation.
Note: When printing on labels, make sure to set the
LABEL type at the control panel when you load the
tray and in the printer driver when you print your
print job.
Cardstock construction
When selecting cardstock, consider the quality of each
component:
•
Smoothness: Cardstock should have a smoothness rating
of 100 to 180 Sheffield.
• Curl: Cardstock should lie flat with less than 5mm
(0.2 inch) of curl.
• Condition: Make sure that the cardstock is not wrinkled,
nicked or otherwise damaged.
• Size: See the sizes listed for “Using the correct paper
input/output option” on page 3.
• Weight: Make sure to set the “Cardstock” type when you
load the tray and in the printer driver when you print
your print job. Heavier types of cardstock, 180-220 g/m
2
(48-58 lb bond), should only be fed from Tray 1.
Note: See table with “Using the correct paper
input/output option” on page 3 for maximum and
minimum paper sizes and maximum and minimum
paper weights that are supported by the
finishing devices.
Transparencies and envelopes
• Not supported.
Printing by type and size of paper
You can configure the MFP to select paper
by type (such as plain, glossy or letterhead)
and size (such as letter or 11"x17"), rather
than by source (a tray.)
Benefits of printing by type and size
of paper
Printing by type or size means you want the MFP to pull
paper or print paper from the first tray that is loaded
with the type or size that you choose. Selecting paper
by type and size significantly improves print quality for
heavy paper and glossy paper. Using the wrong setting
can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by
type for special print paper such as labels or glossy
paper. If you want to print by type or size and the trays
have not been configured for a certain type or size:
• Load the paper or print paper into Tray 1.
• Select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box,
the Print dialog box or the Print Properties dialog box.
Note: The type and size settings can also be configured
from the HP Web Jetadmin software for
networked MFPs.
For Macintosh operating systems, these settings can be
configured by using the HP LaserJet Utility.
Standard paper size
Standard paper sizes are the sizes marked in the input
trays or listed in the Paper Handling menu on the control
panel. Standard sizes are also the options you can select
when setting paper size at the control panel or in the
printer driver. Paper sizes that are not marked on the
input trays or listed in the Paper Handling menu are
considered custom sizes.
Print modes
Note: Setting print modes incorrectly can damage
the MFP.
When you select a paper type, you are, in effect,
instructing the MFP to use a group of printer settings
(such as print speed and color table) to create the best
possible print quality. This group of settings is known as
a print mode, and a different print mode is associated
with each paper type.
The chart on the next page shows the types of paper
that can be selected at the control panel and in the
printer driver.
Note: Specify the paper type at the control panel when
you load the trays and in the printer driver when
you print your print job.

Issue Recommended action
Ink marks in white areas Certain large print jobs having a repetitive image on slow-drying paper can cause ink to be deposited
(ghosting) where not intended.
• Consider using a recommended paper.
• Set the paper type to “Cardstock” or “Labels.”
Ink marks on the back side If pre-punched paper is used and the printed area extends over the punched holes, ink can be deposited
of the page onto the printing surface of the MFP.
• Set the paper type to “Pre-punched” and make sure the paper is loaded with the holes toward the front of
the MFP. The image will be electronically trimmed away from the holes. After a serious paper jam, some
ink residue may remain on the MFP’s printing surface.
• Print a few more pages to remove the ink.
Strike-through Excessive visibility of the printed image from the back side of the sheet is due to paper that has low
opaqueness or is too thin.
• Consider using a heavier or higher quality paper.
Smeared ink on glossy paper Your HP CM8060/CM8050 has been designed to work well on a large variety of plain uncoated office
papers. However, there are many coated (glossy) papers that do not work well.
• Never use coated paper developed for offset printing.
• Only use HP Brochure Paper for Edgeline Technology.
Paper jams • Discard dog-eared sheets or wrinkled sheets.
• Only trim paper down to custom sizes after printing.
• If paper jams occur frequently when printing onto 11"x17" size paper, it may be because you are using
a short grain paper type. If your 11"x17" paper is not a long grain type, and has a weight of less than
120 g/m
2
(32 lb bond), you should set the administrator option for “Grain Direction
11" x 17" and A3” to “Short-grain Paper.”
Multi-feeds Sheets can occasionally stick to each other or be damaged such that several sheets are held together.
• Discard dog-eared sheets or wrinkled sheets.
• Do not mix different paper types in a tray.
• Fan the paper ream to separate the sheets before putting into the tray.
Pages don’t feed from trays Some papers are manufactured with excessive amounts of fillers such as talc. These fillers can cause the
feed rollers to lose their necessary friction.
• Consider using a different paper.
