HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs

with Edgeline Technology

Optimizing your output

The HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs are designed to work across a broad range of plain

papers used in the general office. For optimum performance we have provided a set of

recommended papers on page 4. For best results, be sure to always select the correct printer

settings for the chosen paper.

• They are of good quality for their intended use.

• They work well with the MFPs’ settings.

This MFP with Edgeline Technology series accepts paper

such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled), labels,

glossy and custom-size paper. Weight, grain direction,

smoothness and moisture content are important factors

that affect MFP performance and print quality. For heavy

and glossy paper, select paper type and size on the

control panel for copy applications and in the printer

driver for print applications. Using the wrong setting can

result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type

for special print paper such as labels, matte brochure,

heavy paper or glossy paper.

HP-branded paper is available at www.hp.com/go/paper

or from your local office supplies retailer (see page 4 for

recommended types.) These MFPs can also use

non-HP-brand paper that falls within the specifications for

supported paper (see pages 4 – 5 of this guide).

Set the printer for the appropriate type and size of paper:

• Load paper into one of the five paper uptake trays

(see table below for paper supported in each tray.)

• Select the paper type and size for that tray on the

control panel.

Note: Be sure to use paper that falls within the paper

specifications on this page to support optimal

running of your MFP (see page 4 as a guide.) Using

paper that is outside of these HP specifications

could cause problems that require MFP repair. This

repair is not covered by the HP warranty or

service agreements.

• Be sure to choose paper type in your driver when

printing from your computer (instead of selecting a

paper tray source).

• The printer’s “smart trays” will pull from the first tray

containing the paper size and type you selected.

• When you change the paper type in a tray,

be sure to select the new paper type for that

tray on the control panel.

The paper types that are listed on page 4 of this guide

meet these criteria:

• They have been tested in these MFPs.

Using the correct paper input/output option

Moving paper through the HP CM8060/CM8050 Color MFPs with Edgeline Technology at high speeds is one of

the MFP’s valuable features. Using the correct tray for each different type of paper will help ensure trouble-free print-

ing. Here is a chart that will help you select the correct option for each paper.

Tray specific information

Selecting the right tray for paper type will

Printing by type and size of paper

help maximize print quality and productivity.

Here’s a quick list for your use.

You can configure the MFP to select paper

by type (such as plain, glossy or letterhead)

and size (such as letter or 11"x17"), rather

than by source (a tray.)

Loading specialty brochure paper

The following HP specialty brochure papers are

supported only from Tray 1:

Benefits of printing by type and size

of paper

• HP Brochure Paper for Edgeline Technology, glossy (letter)

• HP Brochure Paper for Edgeline Technology, glossy (11"x17")

Printing by type or size means you want the MFP to pull

paper or print paper from the first tray that is loaded

with the type or size that you choose. Selecting paper

by type and size significantly improves print quality for

heavy paper and glossy paper. Using the wrong setting

can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by

type for special print paper such as labels or glossy

paper. If you want to print by type or size and the trays

have not been configured for a certain type or size:

• HP Premium Presentation, matte 120 g/m (letter)

• HP Superior Inkjet Paper 180 g/m matte

• HP Brochure and Flyer Paper, matte 180 g/m (letter)

• HP Professional Inkjet Paper 120 g/m matte

Label construction

The following HP labels are supported only from Tray 1:

• HP Multipurpose Paper Labels of any size.

• Load the paper or print paper into Tray 1.

The following are additional considerations when

running labels:

• Select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box,

the Print dialog box or the Print Properties dialog box.

• Arrangement: Labels can peel off sheets that have

spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

Do not use sheets with missing labels.

Note: The type and size settings can also be configured

from the HP Web Jetadmin software for

networked MFPs.

• Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no

more than 13mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.

For Macintosh operating systems, these settings can be

configured by using the HP LaserJet Utility.

• Condition: Do not use labels that have wrinkles,

bubbles or other indications of separation.

Standard paper size

Standard paper sizes are the sizes marked in the input

trays or listed in the Paper Handling menu on the control

panel. Standard sizes are also the options you can select

when setting paper size at the control panel or in the

printer driver. Paper sizes that are not marked on the

input trays or listed in the Paper Handling menu are

considered custom sizes.

Note: When printing on labels, make sure to set the

LABEL type at the control panel when you load the

tray and in the printer driver when you print your

print job.

Cardstock construction

When selecting cardstock, consider the quality of each

component:

Print modes

Note: Setting print modes incorrectly can damage

• Smoothness: Cardstock should have a smoothness rating

the MFP.

of 100 to 180 Sheffield.

When you select a paper type, you are, in effect,

instructing the MFP to use a group of printer settings

(such as print speed and color table) to create the best

possible print quality. This group of settings is known as

a print mode, and a different print mode is associated

with each paper type.

• Curl: Cardstock should lie flat with less than 5mm

(0.2 inch) of curl.

• Condition: Make sure that the cardstock is not wrinkled,

nicked or otherwise damaged.

• Size: See the sizes listed for “Using the correct paper

input/output option” on page 3.

The chart on the next page shows the types of paper

that can be selected at the control panel and in the

printer driver.

• Weight: Make sure to set the “Cardstock” type when you

load the tray and in the printer driver when you print

your print job. Heavier types of cardstock, 180-220 g/m

(48-58 lb bond), should only be fed from Tray 1.

Note: Specify the paper type at the control panel when

you load the trays and in the printer driver when

you print your print job.

Note: See table with “Using the correct paper

input/output option” on page 3 for maximum and

minimum paper sizes and maximum and minimum

paper weights that are supported by the

finishing devices.

Paper-related copy and print quality issues

This table lists copy quality and print quality issues that might be related to the paper that is used. If you encounter a copy quality

or print quality problem that is not listed here, or the recommended actions do not solve the problem, see “Image Quality

Problems” in the HP CM8060/CM8050 MFPs with Edgeline Technology Quick Reference Guide.

Issue

Recommended action

Wrinkles in printed areas (cockle)

Excessive cockle is caused by a bad combination of the image, paper and weather.

• Excessively dry paper cockles more. Store paper at proper humidity (45%-55%).

• Lighter weight papers cockle more than heavier weights.

• Black ink cockles more than color ink. Consider changing the color of a graphic.

Printing on 11" x 17"

(and other large

To optimize print quality and avoid paper jams, your HP CM8060/CM8050 MFP will sometimes print very

slowly on 11"x17" paper that is short grain and less than 120 g/m (32 lb bond).

formats) is exceedingly slow

• Use only long grain 11"x17" paper. If you know that your paper is a long grain type, set the

administrator option for “Grain Direction 11x17 and A3” to “Long-grain Paper.”

• If your paper is short grain but has a weight of at least 120 g/m (32 lb bond) you may set the

administrator option for “Grain Direction 11"x17" and A3” to “Long-grain Paper.”

Output is wet to

the touch

The combination of certain papers that don’t dry quickly and poor weather conditions may result in longer

drying times.

• Change your paper to a recommended paper or set the paper type to “Cardstock.”

Printed page is

excessively curled

Excessive curl is caused by a bad combination of the image, paper and weather.

• Excessively dry paper curls more. Store paper at proper humidity (45%-55%).

• Black ink causes curl more than color ink. Consider changing the color of a graphic.

• Many 100% recycled papers and lighter weight papers curl badly. Consider using a

different paper.

Paper-related copy and print quality issues (continued)

Issue

Recommended action

Ink marks in white areas

(ghosting)

Certain large print jobs having a repetitive image on slow-drying paper can cause ink to be deposited

where not intended.

• Consider using a recommended paper.

• Set the paper type to “Cardstock” or “Labels.”

Ink marks on the back side

of the page

If pre-punched paper is used and the printed area extends over the punched holes, ink can be deposited

onto the printing surface of the MFP.

• Set the paper type to “Pre-punched” and make sure the paper is loaded with the holes toward the front of

the MFP. The image will be electronically trimmed away from the holes. After a serious paper jam, some

ink residue may remain on the MFP’s printing surface.

• Print a few more pages to remove the ink.

Strike-through

Excessive visibility of the printed image from the back side of the sheet is due to paper that has low

opaqueness or is too thin.

• Consider using a heavier or higher quality paper.

Smeared ink on glossy paper

Your HP CM8060/CM8050 has been designed to work well on a large variety of plain uncoated office

papers. However, there are many coated (glossy) papers that do not work well.

• Never use coated paper developed for offset printing.

• Only use HP Brochure Paper for Edgeline Technology.

Paper jams

• Discard dog-eared sheets or wrinkled sheets.

• Only trim paper down to custom sizes after printing.

• If paper jams occur frequently when printing onto 11"x17" size paper, it may be because you are using

a short grain paper type. If your 11"x17" paper is not a long grain type, and has a weight of less than

120 g/m (32 lb bond), you should set the administrator option for “Grain Direction

11" x 17" and A3” to “Short-grain Paper.”

Multi-feeds

Sheets can occasionally stick to each other or be damaged such that several sheets are held together.

• Discard dog-eared sheets or wrinkled sheets.

• Do not mix different paper types in a tray.

• Fan the paper ream to separate the sheets before putting into the tray.

Pages don’t feed from trays

Some papers are manufactured with excessive amounts of fillers such as talc. These fillers can cause the

feed rollers to lose their necessary friction.

• Consider using a different paper.
