This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity. Using print media that does not meet HP specifications might cause problems for the printer,.

This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements. Before purchasing large quantities of paper, make sure the paper meets the requirements specified.

Always test print. The printer comes with up to three paper trays. The printer automatically selects the requested media from the correct tray if that media is loaded in any of the trays. If the media is not available, a message on the control panel prompts you to select the media or tray that you want instead. Tray 3 sheet tray, if installed. Tray 1, a multipurpose tray, adjusts for sizes from 76 by mm 3 by 5 inches to a legal-size sheet, by mm 8.

Tray 1 should be used when printing the following types of media:. A sheet tray tray 2 can be purchased as an accessory if the printer did not come with a tray 3. Optional sheet trays have settings for the following paper sizes:. Load only paper in the optional sheet tray. Other types of print media, such as labels or.

A sheet tray can be purchased as an accessory if the printer did not come with a tray 3. It has settings for the following paper sizes:. 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.

The following problems with paper can cause print-quality deviations, jamming, or damage to the printer. Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:. Use only tray 1 to print on envelopes.

Send envelopes straight through the printer, entering at. Jams might occur when printing on media that is shorter than mm 7 inches. This can result. See "Evaluate environmental conditions" in chapter 7. Envelopes might meet the general specifications that are listed in table 8 and still not print. Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives that are compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer.

The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and can even damage the. Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope and creates an air bubble, then the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

Double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope, as illustrated. The following gives typical address margins for a commercial 10 or DL envelope. For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm 0. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing jams.

Use only tray 1 to print on labels. Send labels straight through the printer, entering at tray 1 and. To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels that are recommended for laser printers. Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels. Label construction and die-cutting must not allow labels to peel off. Materials must not discolor, melt, offset materials, or release hazardous. Use only tray 1 to print transparencies.

Send transparencies straight through the printer, entering. Transparencies that are used in the printer must be able to withstand degrees C. To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies that are recommended for use in laser.

Caliper of 0. Ideally, the printing and media storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or too humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets.

Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As a paper package is opened and used, it loses moisture, which causes streaks and smudging in the printed output. Humid weather or water coolers can increase the humidity in a room. As paper is opened and used, it absorbs any excess moisture, which causes light print and dropouts in the printed output. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture, it can distort.

This can cause jams. As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation. Users should not purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time about three months. Paper stored for long periods might experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage.

Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper. Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

A well-maintained paper-storage environment ensures optimum printer performance. The required environmental conditions are 20 degrees to 24 degrees C 68 degrees to. The following guidelines should be helpful when evaluating the papers storage environment:. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper that will be used during the day's operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

When shipping print media through different environments, plastic-wrap all cartons on the shipping pallet. When shipping media across bodies of water, also wrap individual cartons. The packaging must protect the media from physical damage. Additional chemicals and fillers are frequently added to paper during the manufacturing process. These can affect the paper strength, pick resistance, printability, bulk, feel, and color.

An emulsion that contains wax, rosin, starch, or other non-water soluble materials is added to the paper pulp to help control the penetration of water and other liquids.

Dyes are added and the paper might be bleached. Bleaching is a multistep process that uses chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide. Over time, these fillers can build up on internal assemblies of the printer such as rollers or the print cartridge. This buildup can eventually cause jams and print defects. The basis weight should be indicated on the ream label. If the label is not available, a simple field test can identify the basis weight of paper. The basis weight of paper is equal to the weight of sheets of paper, or four full reams.

Weigh a full ream on a postal scale and then multiply that weight by four. Or, weigh 10 sheets of paper, divide that weight by 10, multiply by , and then divide by Use this table to determine approximate equivalent points in weight specifications other than U. For example, to determine the equivalent of lb U. The equivalent is b media. Shaded areas indicate a standard weight for that grade. Take 16 sheets of A4 paper and weigh them. One square meter of paper contains approximately 16 A4 size sheets.

Compare this weight to the appropriate weight in the preceding table. The specified caliper differs with the type of media used. Never use the coarse-adjustment end of the micrometer when measuring for caliper.

The coarse. For example, if the. Always use the fine adjustment. Using the fine adjustment, slide the micrometer along the edge of the paper and measure at one. To double-check the accuracy of the reading, always measure again at the opposite end of. Paper finish, or smoothness, can be accurately measured with a Sheffield meter.

If this tool is not. A dollar bill has. If paper feels as rough as a dollar bill,. A ream or sheet of paper can be measured with a moisture meter.

In general, only evaluate the. The paper dimensions listed on the label also indicate grain direction. If the grain direction is not included on the ream label, it can be determined by using a simple wet test. Cut a small square from the corner of a sheet of paper, wet it, and observe the manner in which it curls.

Envelopes should have a diagonal grain, which gives them the best stability. To determine this, cut a square section from one corner of an envelope. Wet this section and observe the manner in which it curls. Two opposite corners should curl toward each other.

To check for paper curl, place a single sheet of paper onto a flat surface and measure curl at the greatest deflection by holding a ruler perpendicular to the flat surface.

Use a loupe or maginfying glass to observe the condition of the cut edge. Under magnification, a good edge appears even. A poorly cut edge shows fraying, jagged edges, compressed fibers, and other damage. Recycled paper that contains no more than 5 percent groundwood is also acceptable. Read the ream label to determine the fiber composition of the paper.

Paper is usually specified as xerographic bond suitable for copiers or laser printers or cotton bond. Paper of 25 percent, 50 percent, or percent cotton bond is indicated on a watermark. If paper is less than 25 percent cotton bond, the watermark will not indicate a percentage. Inspect the rollers for ink buildup from preprinted logos or letterhead, and for toner buildup or spots. Inspect printed output for repetitive defects and smearing. If necessary, have users contact their forms vendor to ensure that the paper is compatible with HP LaserJet printers.
