Selecting paper

You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. This section provides guidelines and specifications for selecting and using different print media.

Before purchasing any paper or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier obtains and understands the print media requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide.

See Supplies and accessories for HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide ordering information. To download a copy of the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide go to http://www.hp.com/support/clj3550 for the HP Color LaserJet 3550 series and to http://www.hp.com/support/clj3700 for the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series. Select Manuals.

It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter or the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).

Hewlett-Packard recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities.

CAUTION

Using paper that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the print media guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
