HP (Hewlett-Packard) 5200 Series Printer User Manual


 
Selecting print media
This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper, including up to 100% recycled fiber
content paper; envelopes; labels; transparencies; and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight,
composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and
output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines that are outlined in this manual can cause the
following problems:
Poor print quality
Increased jams
Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
NOTE Some paper might meet all of the guidelines in this manual and still not produce
satisfactory results. This 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 media, make sure that it meets the requirements that are
specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide, which is
available for download at
http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide. Always test paper before
buying large quantities.
CAUTION Using media that does not meet HP specifications can cause problems for the
printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.
