For best results, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m

) paper. Make sure that the paper is of good 

quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or 
bent edges.

If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the 
label on the package of paper.

Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.

The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or 
preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the printer temperature (200° C or 392° F for 
0.1 second).

Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types 
of thermography.

Do not use raised letterhead.

Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use only 
transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.

Poor print quality or toner 
adhesion.
