Heavy paper
When printing on heavy paper, use the following guidelines:
●
Any tray will print most heavy media that does not exceed 105 g/m
2
(28 lb bond).
●
Use cardstock only in Tray 1 (135 g/m
2
to 216 g/m
2
; 50 to 80 lb cover).
●
In either the software application or the printer driver, select HEAVY (106 g/m
2
to 163 g/
m
2
; 28 to 43 lb bond) or CARDSTOCK (135 g/m
2
to 216 g/m
2
; 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 printer back to its original settings once
the job has printed.
CAUTION
In general, do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for
this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive
mechanical wear.
HP LaserJet Tough paper
When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:
● Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper only by the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on
HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print quality problems.
● Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work
together for optimum printing results.
● In either the software application or the printer driver, select TOUGH PAPER as the
media type, or print from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
When printing on preprinted forms and letterhead, use the following guidelines:
● Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize,
or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer fusing temperature of
approximately 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second.
● Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.
● Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
● Before loading preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
● When duplex printing on the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series printer, load preprinted
forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3 first side up, top edge toward the back of the
tray. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them with the first side
down, bottom edge in first.
● When simplex (one-sided) printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and
Tray 3 face-up with the top edge of the page to the left. To load preprinted forms and
letterhead into Tray 1, place them in the tray with the side to be printed facing up, and
top, short edge in first.
