Non-supported media
Use the following guidelines to avoid poor print quality or damage to
your printer:
• Do not use paper that is too rough.
• Do not use paper that is embossed or coated unless it is specifically
recommended for use in the HP Color LaserJet printers.
• Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard
3-hole punched paper.
• Do not use multipart forms.
• Do not use paper with irregularities such as tabs or staples.
• Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or
thermography. Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that can
tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.
• Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that
melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to 190° C (374° F) for 0.1
second.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on or fed through a
photocopier or printer.
• Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.
• Do not duplex on glossy paper. Doing so will result in paper jams
and print quality problems.
• Do not use transparencies that are not specified for use with HP
Color LaserJet printers.
