6 Guidelines for purchasing and using print media
Types of print media to avoid
The following characteristics can affect the performance of your HP
LaserJet printer unless the paper or other print media you are using is
specifically designed to work with your HP LaserJet printer.
l Print media that is very rough, highly textured, or heavily
embossed.
l Print media with multipart forms.
l Print media that offsets or discolors.
l Print media that is damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly
shaped.
l Paper that is extremely shiny or glossy.
l Paper, labels, envelopes, media coatings, dyes, or inks that
produce undesirable emissions or melt when exposed to a fusing
temperature of 205° C (401° F) for 0.1 second (0.2 second for
HP Color LaserJet printers).
l Overhead tranparency material that produces undesirable
emissions or melt when exposed to a fusing temperature of
205° C (401° F) for 0.1 second (0.4 second for HP Color LaserJet
printers).
l Envelopes that have an open flap with the adhesive exposed so
that closing the flap seals the envelope.
l Envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, windows, or synthetic
materials. These materials can severely damage the printer.
l Envelopes that are not square, straight, or constructed correctly
(see "Envelope construction").
l Envelopes with a basis weight less than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb) or greater
than 105 g/m

creased.
