Paper that can damage the printer


In rare circumstances, paper can damage the printer. The following paper must be avoided to prevent possible damage to the printer:

  • Do not use paper with staples attached.

  • Do not use transparencies designed for Inkjet printers or other low temperature printers, or transparencies designed for monochrome printing. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP Color LaserJet printers.

  • Do not use photo paper intended for Inkjet printers.

  • Do not use paper that is embossed or coated, and is not designed for the temperatures of the HP Color LaserJet 3550 and 3700 series printer image fusers. Select paper that can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second. HP produces a selection of paper that is designed for the HP Color LaserJet 3550 and 3700 series printer.

  • 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.
