When printing on heavy paper types, use the following guidelines:

(32 lb).

For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to set the media
type for the tray to HEAVY.

In either the software application or the driver, select Heavy 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. See

Configuring input trays

.

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 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

Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:

Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release
undesirable emissions when subjected to the printer’s 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.
