HP 33440/HP 33449 COMBINED SERVICE MANUAL
2"4. PAPER SPECIFICATIONS
General
HP 33440 and HP 33449 printers are designed to work well with most types of xerographic and
bond paper. However, some paper variables may have a significant effect on print quality or
handling reliabili~. Use of the following guidelines when choosing paper will ensure maximum
printer performance.
Paper Types to Use
To obtain the cleares~ sharpest images, paper manufactured for photocopying, such as Canon NP
or Xerox 4024, should be used. Genetily, these types of papers are manufactured to specifications
that provide desirable characteristics for laser printer image qudi@ and paper handling. The
supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes are to be used in a laser printer.
Aways test samples of the paper before buying to ensure that it provides desirable performance.
Preprinted papers should use inks that can withstand the temperature of the printer's fusing
process.
For some applications, cotton bond paper may be preferred. Several cotton papers are now
being manufactured with properties optimized for laser printing. HP has tested cotton content
papers such as Gilbert Neu-Tech and Neenah NP with satisfactory results. Many other types of
cotion bonds will work well in these printers. However, always test paper to ensure desirable
performance, Paper having a rougher surface, such as coc~e or laid finished paper, or paper that
is wrinMed or puckered may exhibit degraded performance.
Note
HP neither warrants nor recommends the use of any particular paper. Paper
.Pfl
properties are subject to change by paper manufacturers, and HP has no control
w
over such changes. The operator is responsible for the quality and performance of
paper used with the printer.
Paper Types to Avoid
Some specific types of paper may not perform well or may damage the printer. (See dso
"Envelopes Types to Avoid" in Section 2-5.)
Paper types to avoid are:
Those not meeting the specifications given in Table 2-2.
Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured.
Coated or chemidly finished papers.
Damaged or wrin~ed paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs and fiples.
Letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography. These materials may transfer onto
the fusing ro~er and cause damage. Any preprinted paper should use inks able to withstand
200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second.
Multipart forms or mrbonless paper.
Caution
Damage or other defects mused by the use of papers listed under "Paper Types
o
to Avoid" above and media with tabs, clasps, stiples, or other objects attached to
them will not be covered by HP warran~ or standard HP service agreements.
