                              (4.33" x 8.66")      (3.85" x 8.27")
C5                              162mm x 229mm            150mm x 219mm
                              (6.37" x 9.01)            (5.91" x 8.62")

Note: The printable area is listed because all HP LaserJet printers have an unprintable zone. Also, the forms which have metric measurements have the English measurements for reference use only. Use the metric measurement when selecting these forms in WP or the printer will not understand the commands and will give a manual feed request.

The correct paper tray must be installed for the selected paper size before the printer will pull continuously. If you enter an incorrect size for some of the less-familiar paper sizes when setting up the Paper Size/Type in WordPerfect, the printer will not recognize the form.

For example, a user set the size for the Executive form to 7.25" x 11" in the Paper Size/Type menu. This caused the printer to display a "PC Load Legal" message. Changing the paper size in WordPerfect to match HP's specifications corrected the problem.

The maximum form size for the HP LaserJet Series II and newer printers (HP II, IID, IIP, III, IIID, IIIP, and IIISi) is 8.5" x 14"; the minimum size is 3.9" x 7.5".
