You can change the settings[...]

Using EconoMode (saves toner) EconoMode is a feature that allows the printer to use less toner per page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner supply and will reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. HP does not recommend the f[...]

Guidelines for using media The following sections provide guidelines and instructions for printing on transparencies, envelopes, and other special media. Guidelines and specifications are included to help you select media that optimizes print quality and avoid media that may cause jams or damage the printer. Paper For best results, use conventional[...]

Note The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the printer temperature (200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second). Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. Do not use raised le[...]

Envelope construction 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: ● Weight : The weight of the [...]

Envelope storage Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing. Card stock and heavy media You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some [...]

To avoid problems when using preprinted forms, embossed paper, and letterhead, observe the following guidelines: ● Avoid using low-temperature inks (the kind used with some types of thermography). ● Use preprinted forms and letterhead paper that have been printed by offset lithography or engraving. ● Use forms that have been created with heat[...]

Choosing paper and other media HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size media. The following are the supported media sizes: ● Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) ● Maxim[...]

● Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperatures of the printer's image fuser. Select media that can tolerate temperatures of 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second. HP produces a selection of media that is designed for the HP LaserJet 1160 and HP LaserJet 1320 series printers. ● Do not use letterhead paper [...]
