Preparing print media for use
Print media must be prepared properly before using it with your HP LaserJet printer.
Print media needs some time to stabilize in a new environment. To prepare print media, keep it in its protective
packaging and store it in the environment in which it will be used. For small quantities, such as one or two reams,
store the print media for one to two days. For larger quantities or if the change in the environment is signicant,
a week or more might be needed. For more information, see Environmental considerations on page 22.
CAUTION: If print media is not prepared properly, the edges in the ream can become wavy or the sheets can
curl soon after the package is opened, which can cause paper jams.
