ENWW 13

General guidelines

Some media might meet all of the guidelines in this manual and still not produce satisfactory results. This problem might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, always test a sample and make sure that the print media meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide, which you can view on the Web at ordering information, see
CAUTION Using media that does not meet HP specifications can cause problems for the
device, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
The device accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled-fiber­content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, LaserJet glossy paper, HP LaserJet Tough paper, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect performance and output quality. Media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this manual can cause the following problems:
Poor print quality
Increased jams
Premature wear on the device, requiring repair
www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide. For
Accessories and ordering information.

Choosing paper and other media

Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media that is designed for laser printers. See
NOTE Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media
supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide (HP part number 5963-7863). See
information.

HP media

HP recommends that you use HP LaserJet media in the device.

Media to avoid

The device can handle many types of media. Using media that is outside the specifications degrades print quality and increases the chance of jams occurring.
Do not use media that is too rough.
Do not use media that contains cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched
paper.
Guidelines for using media for detailed paper and media specifications.
Guidelines for using media for more
Do not use multipart forms.
Do not use paper that contains a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.
14 Chapter 3 Media specifications ENWW

Media that can damage the device

In rare circumstances media can damage the device. Avoid the following types of media to prevent possible damage:
Do not use media with staples attached.
Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low-temperature printers. Use
only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
Do not use photo paper intended for inkjet printers.
Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperature of the
image-fuser. Select media that can tolerate temperatures of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. HP manufactures a media that is designed for the device.
Do not use letterhead paper that was produced with low-temperature dyes or thermography.
Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that can tolerate temperatures of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.

ENWW Choosing paper and other media 15

Guidelines for using media

The following sections provide guidelines and instructions for printing on transparencies, envelopes, and other special media. Guidelines and specifications are included to help you select media that optimizes print quality and avoid media that can cause jams or damage the device.

Paper

For best results, use conventional 80-g/m2 or 20-lb paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper.
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the device.
Symptom Problem with paper Solution
Poor print quality or toner adhesion
Problems with feeding
Dropouts, jamming, or curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moisture-proof
Increased gray background shading Might be too heavy Use lighter paper.
Excessive curl
Problems with feeding
Jamming or damage to device Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or
Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper.
Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed
Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short-grain construction
Try another kind of paper that has a smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield and has 4-6 % moisture content.
Check the device and make sure that the appropriate media type has been selected.
wrapping.
Use long-grain paper.
Check the device and make sure that the appropriate media type has been selected.
perforations.
NOTE The device uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any
colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the fuser temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.
Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
Do not use raised letterhead.
Do not use transparencies that are designed for inkjet printers or other low-temperature printers. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
16 Chapter 3 Media specifications ENWW

Colored paper

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
Pigments used must be able to withstand the fuser temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second
without deterioration.
Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

Custom-size media

Use the main input tray for multiple sheets. See Supported media weights and sizes for the supported media sizes.
CAUTION Make sure that the sheets are not stuck together before you load them.

Labels

HP recommends that you print labels from the priority input tray. See Loading media for more information.
CAUTION Do not feed a sheet of labels through the device more than once. The adhesive
degrades and might damage the device.
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the maximum fuser
temperature.
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off
sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any
direction.
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

Transparencies

Transparencies must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), the maximum fuser temperature.
CAUTION You can print transparencies from the 150-sheet tray (tray 1). However, do not
load more than 75 transparencies at one time into the tray.
ENWW Guidelines for using media 17

Envelopes

HP recommends that you print envelopes from the priority input tray. See Loading media for more information.
Envelope construction
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m result.
Construction: Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) of curl,
and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air can cause problems. Do not use envelopes that contain clasps, snaps, tie strings, transparent windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, synthetic materials, stamping, or embossing. Do not use envelopes with adhesives that require pressure to seal them.
Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Make sure that the envelopes do not have any exposed adhesive.

Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration:

1 Acceptable envelope construction
2 Unacceptable envelope construction
18 Chapter 3 Media specifications ENWW
Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the device: 200°C (392°F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

Card stock and heavy media

You can print many types of card stock from the input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer.
2
For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
NOTE You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity
and if you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
(42 lb). Paper that is too heavy
In either the software program or the printer driver, select Heavy (106 g/m2 to 163 g/m2; 28- to 43-lb bond) or Cardstock (135 g/m

to 216 g/m2; 50- to 80-lb cover) as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the device back to its original settings after the job has printed.
Card stock construction
Smoothness: 135-157 g/m 100-180 Sheffield. 60-135 g/m 100-250 Sheffield.
Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl.

ENWW Guidelines for using media 19

Letterhead and preprinted forms

Letterhead is premium paper that often has a watermark, sometimes uses cotton fiber, and is available in a wide range of colors and finishes with matching envelopes. Preprinted forms can be made of a broad spectrum of paper types ranging from recycled to premium.
Many manufacturers now design these grades of paper with properties optimized for laser printing and advertise the paper as laser compatible or laser guaranteed. Some of the rougher surface finishes, such as cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser modes that are available on some printer models to achieve adequate toner adhesion.
NOTE Some page-to-page variation is normal when printing with laser printers. This
variation cannot be observed when printing on plain paper. However, this variation is obvious when printing on preprinted forms because the lines and boxes are already placed on the page.
To avoid problems when using preprinted forms, embossed paper, and letterhead, observe the following guidelines:
Avoid using low-temperature inks (the kind used with some types of thermography).
Use preprinted forms and letterhead paper that have been printed by offset lithography or
engraving.
Use forms that have been created with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release
emissions when heated to 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. Typically, oxidation-set or oil-based inks meet this requirement.
When the form is preprinted, be careful not to change the moisture content of the paper, and do
not use materials that change the paper's electrical or handling properties. Seal the forms in moisture-proof wrap to prevent moisture changes during storage.
Avoid processing preprinted forms that have a finish or coating.
Avoid using heavily embossed or raised-letterhead papers.
Avoid papers that have heavily textured surfaces.
Avoid using offset powders or other materials that prevent printed forms from sticking together.
NOTE To print a single-page cover letter on letterhead, followed by a multiple-page
document, feed the letterhead face up in the priority input tray, and load the standard paper in the main input tray (tray 1). The device automatically prints from the priority input tray first.
20 Chapter 3 Media specifications ENWW

Supported media weights and sizes

For optimum results, use conventional 80 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) photocopy paper. Verify that the paper is of good quality and is free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, curls, and bent edges.
NOTE The device supports a wide range of standard and custom sizes of print media. The
capacity of trays and bins can vary depending on media weight and thickness and on environmental conditions. Use only transparencies that are designed for use with HP LaserJet printers. Inkjet and monochrome transparencies are not supported for the device.

Printing and storage environment

Ideally, the printing and media-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or too humid. Remember that paper absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This issue can cause jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation and print quality.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time (about three months). Paper stored for long periods can experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The media-storage environment should be maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. The following guidelines are helpful when evaluating the storage environment:
Print media should be stored at or near room temperature.
The air should not be too dry or too humid.
The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof
wrapping. If the device environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day's operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.
Avoid storing paper and print media near heating and air conditioning vents or near windows
and doors that are frequently open.

ENWW Scanning by using HP LaserJet Scan (Windows) 59

Scanning by using other software

The device is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The device works with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant scanning devices and with Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant scanning devices.

Using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software

From a TWAIN-enabled or WIA-enabled program, you can open the scanning feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see the Help file or the documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.
Scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program
Generally, a software program is TWAIN-enabled if it has a command such as Acquire, File Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the
program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or documentation.
When scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program, the HP LaserJet Scan software program might start automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan program starts, you can make changes while you are previewing the image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the TWAIN­enabled program immediately.
To scan from a TWAIN-enabled program
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-enabled program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
Scanning from a WIA-enabled program (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003)
WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft Word. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of the HP LaserJet Scan software.
Generally, a software program is WIA-enabled if it has a command such as Picture/From Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is WIA-enabled, see the software program Help or documentation.
To scan from a WIA-enabled program
Start the scan from within the WIA-enabled program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scanner resolution and color

If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected a resolution or color setting in the scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and color affect the following features of scanned images:
Image clarity
Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)
Scan time
File size
Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).
NOTE Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.
Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. You can adjust the scanner hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software can perform an enhanced resolution up to 19,200 ppi. You can set color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of gray or color) to 24 bit (true color).
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple tips that you can follow to meet your scanning needs.
NOTE Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up a
large amount of disk space and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how you are going to use the scanned image.
ENWW Scanner resolution and color 63

Resolution and color guidelines

The following tables describe the recommended resolution and color settings for different types of scan jobs.

Control-panel messages

The majority of the control-panel messages are intended to guide the user through typical operation. The control-panel messages indicate the status of the current operation, and include a page count on the second line of the display, if appropriate. When the device is receiving print data or scanning commands, control-panel messages indicate this status. In addition, alert messages, warning messages, and critical error messages indicate situations that might require some action.

Alert and warning messages

Alert and warning messages appear temporarily and might require the user to acknowledge the message by pressing Menu/Enter to resume or by pressing Cancel to cancel the job. With certain warnings, the job might not complete or the print quality might be affected. If the alert or warning message is related to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the device will attempt to resume the printing job after the warning has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement.

Print quality problems

Occasionally, you might encounter problems with print quality. The information in the following sections helps you identify and resolve these issues.
NOTE If you are having copy problems, see Copy problems.
Improving print quality
Use the print-quality settings to prevent print-quality problems.
Understanding print-quality settings
Print-quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style in which the graphics are printed. You can also use the print-quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type.
You can change the settings in the device properties to accommodate the types of jobs that you are printing. The following settings are available, depending on the printer driver that you are using:
600 dpi
FastRes 1200: This setting produces the same resolution as the default setting, but you can
change the scale patterns.
NOTE Changing the resolution can change the formatting of your text.
To temporarily change print-quality settings
To change the print-quality settings only for the current software program, open the properties through the Print Setup menu in the program that you are using to print.
To change print-quality settings for all future jobs
NOTE For Macintosh instructions, see Changing printer-driver settings for more information.
For Windows 2000:
1. In the Windows system tray, click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers.
2. Right-click the device icon.
3. Click Properties (in Windows 2000, you can also click Printing Preferences).
4. Change the settings, and click OK.
For Windows XP:

printer driver.
Use the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers (or Printers and Faxes in Windows XP) dialog
box to install the correct driver.
5. Try printing from a different program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the
program from which you were printing.
6. Restart the computer and the device and try printing again. If the problem is not resolved, see General print-quality issues.
