Selecting print media

Your printer is designed to print on a variety of media types (such as photo paper, plain paper, envelopes,
and transparencies) and sizes. The printer works well with most office paper types, and provides the
best results on paper that accepts ink well. Always use media that conforms with the types, sizes, and
weights listed in

Understanding specifications for supported media

It is best to test a variety of media types before buying large quantities. Find a media type that works
well.

NOTE

Use HP media for optimum print quality. These print media types are specifically

designed to work well with the printer. For ordering information, see

Tips for selecting and using print media

●

Paper that is too thin, has a slick texture, or stretches easily can feed improperly through the
printer's paper path.

●

Paper that is heavily textured or does not accept ink well can cause poorly filled graphics or text.

●

To ensure that media feeds properly, load only one type of media at a time in the input tray or the
manual feed slots.

●

Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. It is recommended not to use paper with
cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed.

●

Try to use a paper type that has previously worked well with your printer.

●

If you are printing more than one page on transparencies, photo paper, or other special paper, the
printing pauses and the

Resume

light blinks after each page is printed. This allows the printed page

to dry before printing the next page. You can press the

Resume

button if you do not want to wait

for the printed page to dry before printing the following page; however, it is recommended to allow
each page to dry.
