Guidelines for heavy paper

To help prevent toner from rubbing off of the paper, some heavier paper types should be printed using
a higher fuser mode. At the control panel, scroll to and touch

Administration

, touch

Print Quality

, and

touch

Fuser Modes

. Touch the paper type that you are using. Set the fuser mode to

High1

High2

Using these modes helps prevent toner from rubbing off the page, but using them might slow the device
speed or create other problems, such as increased curl.

Guidelines for custom-size paper

Follow these guidelines when printing on any custom-size paper:

●

Feed the paper short-edge first.

●

In your program, set page margins at least 4.23mm (0.17 inch) away from the edges.

●

Set the custom size in the program, in the printer driver, or at the MFP control panel.

Additional guidelines for small or narrow paper

Follow these additional guidelines when printing on small or narrow paper:

●

Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 76mm (3 inches) wide or 127mm (5 inches) long.

●

HP does not recommend printing large quantities of small or narrow paper. This could result in
excessive wear on the print-cartridge components that might result in print-quality problems or
toner leaking into the MFP.
