Select print media
Consider these factors when choosing print media.
Media that can damage the device
Do not use media that can damage the device.
●
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 LaserJet printers.
●
Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed to withstand the fuser
temperature.
●
Do not use letterhead paper that was created by using low temperature dyes or thermography.
Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that are designed to withstand the fuser temperature.
●
Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors when
exposed to the fuser temperature.

Media to avoid
Using media that is outside the device specifications causes a decrease in print quality and an increase
in jams.
●
Do not use paper that is too rough. Use paper that is tested at less than 250 Sheffield smoothness.
●
Do not use paper that contains cutouts or perforations, other than standard three-hole punched
paper.
●
Do not use multipart or multipage forms.
●
To ensure even toner coverage, do not use paper that includes a watermark if you are printing solid
patterns.
