HP (Hewlett-Packard) 1022n Printer User Manual


 
Choosing paper and other media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of
media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, and custom-size media. The following are the supported media sizes:
Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)
Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches)
Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect
printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-
quality media designed for laser printers. See
Printer media considerations for detailed
paper and media specifications.
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 5851-1468). See
Printer media considerations for more
information.

Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard three-hole punched
paper.
Do not use multipart forms.
Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.

In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided
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.
