HP — Selecting media

Selecting media You can use paper with up to 100 percent recycled fiber content if it meets specifications. For more information about media specifications, see the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide. This guide is available in .pdf format online at http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide . To order HP paper, see the user guide. Highly textured stock might not print evenly. Very glossy paper might jam or repel toner. Multipart forms can wrinkle or get jammed in the printer. And paper in poor condition, such as paper with tears, wrinkles, or bent edges, can jam. Do not use envelopes that have a very slick finish, ones that have self-stick adhesives, or those with clasps or windows.

Also do not use envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged. Use a sturdy envelope of approximately 60 to 90 g/m 2 (16 to 24 lb) weight. Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure that the folds are sharply creased. The main input tray can hold up to 250 sheets of 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) print media. The priority input tray can hold up to 10 sheets, one envelope, or one piece of heavy media. Both can be adjusted to hold media measuring from 76.2 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches) to 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches). This includes, but is not limited to, the following paper and envelope sizes: Table 10.
