Premature wear on the product, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do

or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

Special paper or print media guidelines
This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory
results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in your print driver to
obtain the best print results.
CAUTION: HP LaserJet printers use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise
dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper not designed for this
technology could damage your printer.

Load paper and print media
Tray 1
Tray 1 holds up to 150 pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper, or fewer pages of heavier media (15 mm (0.6 in)).
Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing down.
Media guides ensure that the media feeds correctly into the product and that the print is not skewed.
Tray 1 has side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the
length and width of the media that you are using.
NOTE: When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. Do not fan the media. This reduces jams by preventing multiple
sheets of media from feeding through the product at one time.
