HP LaserJet M4349 Multifunction Printer series - Manual (Page 83)

Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the printer's fusing
temperature.
● Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets
with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
● Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.
● Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
NOTE: Choose labels in the printer driver (see Supported printer drivers on page 11 ).
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), the printer's fusing
temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the MFP, use only transparencies recommended for use in HP
LaserJet printers, such as HP-brand transparencies.
NOTE: Choose transparencies in the printer driver (see Supported printer drivers on page 11 ).
Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards.
Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through
a laser printer.
For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 157g/m 2 (42lb). Paper that is too heavy
might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive
mechanical wear.
NOTE: You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if
you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
Card stock construction
● Smoothness: 135-157g/m 2 (36-42lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-180
Sheffield. 60-135g/m 2 (16-36lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield.
● Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5mm (0.2in.) of curl.
● Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
● Sizes: Only use card stock within the following size ranges:
◦ Minimum: 76 x 127mm (3 x 5in.)
◦ Maximum: 216 x 356mm (8.5 x 14.0in.)
Card stock guidelines
Set margins at least 2mm (0.08in.) away from the edges.
