Selecting media Selecting media to print You can use paper with up to 100% recycled fiber content if it meets HP’s specifications. To order HP paper or the Print Media Guide for HP LaserJet printers, see “Ordering parts and supplies” on page 200. Highly textured stock might not print evenly. Very glossy papers might jam or repel toner. Multipart forms can wrinkle or get jammed in the product. And paper in poor condition, such as paper with tears, wrinkles, or bent edges, can jam. Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, ones that have self-stick adhesives, or those with clasps or windows.
Also avoid envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged. Use a sturdy envelope of approximately 16- to 27-pound (7.25 to 12.25 kg) weight. Use tightly constructed envelopes and make sure the folds are sharply creased. The paper input tray can hold up to 125 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m 2 ) print media. The single-sheet input tray is designed for one sheet. Both can be adjusted to hold media measuring from 3 by 5 inches (76.2 by 127 mm) to 8.5 by 14 inches (216 by 356 mm). This includes, but is not limited to, the following paper and envelope sizes: Table 8.
