Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes and labels. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your printer.

Guidelines to select print media

Guidelines to select print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
Poor print quality
Increased paper jams
Premature wear on the printer
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that aect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
The type, size, and weight of the print media for your printer are described in print media specications
(see "Print media specications").
Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.
Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media aects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
NOTE: Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this user’s guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This may be the result of the sheets characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which cannot be controlled.
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specied in this user’s guide.
CAUTION: Using print media that does not meet these specications may cause problems or require repairs.
Such repairs are not covered by HP’s warranty or service agreements.
The amount of paper put into the tray may dier according to media type used (see "Print media specications").
Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this printer. It could cause damage to the printer.
Use designated print media (see "Print media specications").
WARNING! The use of inammable media or foreign materials left in the printer may lead to overheating of the
unit and equipment damage.
The amount of paper put into the tray may dier according to media type used (see "Print media specications").

For information about setting the paper type and size on the control panel (see "Tray Settings").
NOTE:
If you experience problems with paper feeding, check whether the paper meets the media
specications (see "Print media specications"). Then, try placing one sheet at a time in Tray 1 (MP) (see "Tray 1 (MP)").
The standard tray and optional dual cassette feeder can automatically detect various-sized paper

Check if the paper size and type in the tray are detected or not. If you want to set the paper size and type or if the printer cannot detect them, you can set the size and type directly in the conrmation window.
ENWW Loading paper in the tray 49
Tips on using Tray 1 (MP)
Load only one type, size, and weight of print media at a time in the Tray 1 (MP).
To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in Tray 1 (MP). This also
applies to other types of print media.
Print media should be loaded face down with the top edge going into Tray 1 (MP) rst and be placed in the
center of the tray.
Always load only the specied print media to avoid paper jams and print quality problems (see "Print media
specications").
Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into Tray 1 (MP).
1. Open Tray 1 (MP) and pull out the extension if necessary.
2. Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading originals.

Printing on special media

NOTE: The media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. This paper type option allows you to set the
type of paper to be loaded in the tray. This setting appears in the list so that you can select it. This will let you get the best quality printout. If not, the desired print quality may not be achieved.

Additional information for printing on special media
Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it with the ap side up.
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 (16 lb.) otherwise, a jam may
occur.
Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie at with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and
should not contain air.
Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or damaged.
Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during
operation.
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well-creased folds.
Do not use stamped envelopes.
54 Chapter 3 Media and tray ENWW
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic
materials.
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
Envelopes with a peel-o adhesive strip or with more than one ap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra aps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the
envelope.
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Labels

Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing down.
To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.
ENWW Printing on special media 55
When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your printer’s fusing temperature of about 170°C
(338 °F) for 0.1 second.
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel o sheets that have
spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie at with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inches) of curl in any
direction.
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to
peel o during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only
a single pass through the printer.
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or damaged.
Do not load paper that does not have space between labels running the same direction as the paper is
being fed. Otherwise, it could cause paper jams.
56 Chapter 3 Media and tray ENWW

Card stock/ Custom-sized paper

Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm (3.8 inches) wide or 148 mm (5.8 inches) long.
In the software application, set margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the
material.

Letterhead/Pre-printed paper

Table
3-10 Letterhead / Pre-printed paper
Tray Single-sided Double-sided
Standard tray/Optional dual cassette feeder
Tray 1 (MP) Face down Face up
Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second.
Preprinted paper ink must be non-ammable and should not adversely aect printer rollers.
Forms should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink
can come o preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
