HP PageWide Enterprise Color, HP PageWide Managed Color - Media guide (white paper)

6
If you’re unsure whether the glossy paper is LaserJet or Inkjet, print a test page with a few words of text and see if
it smears. If it does, then do not use that paper.
Likewise, some photo paper can only be printed on one side. If printing from tray 2 or tray 3, load the paper with
the glossy side facing up. If printing from tray 1, load the paper with the glossy side facing down.
If wet, smeared output does get printed, simply discard the printed pages. Clean the output bin with a damp cloth.
Below is a simple table to guide your paper selection and printing choices.
