3 There are four ways of loading sheets of paper into the printer if you have the 
Automatic Roll Feed installed on your printer. There are three ways of loading 
paper if you have the manual roll feed or no roll feed installed:
1. The input tray at the front of the printer for multiple sheets of paper between 
76×142mm (3×5.6inches) and 457×610 mm (18×24inches) (C+).  
Envelopes can also be loaded in the input tray.
2. Th e front path for single sheets of paper between:
•  152×229 mm (6×9inches) and 458×1625mm 
(18.03 × 63.9 inches) (A2 oversize). (70 printer)
•  110×205 mm (4.3×8.1inches) and 625×1625mm 
(24.6 × 63.9 inches) (A1 oversize). (110plus/110plus nr printers)
3. The rear path (upper slot) for single sheets of thick paper or other media 
between: 
• 76×205 mm (4×8.1inches) and 458×1625mm 
(18.03 × 63.9 inches) (A2 oversize). (70 printer)
• 110×205 mm (4.3×8.1inches) and 625×1625mm 
(24.6 × 63.9 inches) (A1 oversize). (110plus/110plus nr printers)
The rear path (upper slot) is also used for roll input if your printer has the 
manual roll feed installed.
4. The rear path (lower slot) is used for roll input if your printer has the Automatic 
Roll Feed installed (HP Designjet 110plus nr only).

4 The roll feed enables you to load roll paper into the rear path. When roll paper is 
loaded into the printer, it obstructs the paper path; therefore roll paper must always 
be unloaded before printing on sheet paper (see page 18).
However the paper is loaded, it should always be loaded in portrait mode: the 
leading edge of the paper should be the shorter edge.
The extensions may be used to support large sheets of paper going into the front 
input path, and also act as supports for paper arriving in the output tray.

Note that the illustration below shows the HP Designjet 110plus Printer series.
1. Place a single sheet of paper in the output tray, aligning it on the right of the 
output tray, with the side that is to be printed on facing down. Do not stack 
multiple sheets here.
2. Push the paper as far as it will go into the printer, maintaining its alignment to 
the right. Ensure that your hands are flat on the paper and close to the slot, and 
that the paper remains flat. If the printer does not “catch” the paper, try again, 
making sure that the leading edge of the paper is flat.
3. Press the OK key (the upper right key) on the front panel.
The printer will check the alignment of the paper, and if it is misaligned, it will eject 
the paper; in that case you will have to reload the paper.
How do I unload paper from the front path?
In case you want to change or remove the paper that you have loaded before 
printing, for example to change the type of paper or to use a different input path:
• Press the Cancel and OK keys at the same time to eject the paper.

How do I load paper into the input tray?
Note that the input tray should be extended only when necessary: when using 
paper larger than Legal- or A4-size.
1. Remove the input tray.
2. Lift up the tray cover.
3. If the paper you are using is larger than Legal- or A4-size, move the small tab 
in the center towards the left so that you can lengthen the tray. Then let go of 
the tab and pull the tray extension out as far as it will go.
4. Fan the paper by its short edge. This helps to prevent adjacent sheets of paper 
from sticking together.

7 5. Slide the paper into the tray under the tray cover, ensuring that it touches the 
sides of the tray on the right and on the printer side.
6. Push in the small tab on the right of the tray so that it fits snugly against the 
paper. Move the larger tab on the left of the tray to the right so that it too fits 
snugly against the paper.
7. Close the tray cover.

8 8. Lift up the output tray and insert the input tray into the printer, keeping it straight 
and pushing it in from both sides as far as it will go. The left inside corner must 
be aligned with the plastic paper tray guide and the right inside corner must be 
aligned with the sticker of the input tray.
9. Lower the output tray, pushing the tray slightly to the left. Note that if the input 
tray is extended, it will extend out beyond the output tray.

9 In order to print on sheet paper using the rear path, you must submit your print job 
to the printer before loading the paper.
1. Set the paper source to Rear Manual Feed. If you leave the paper source set to 
Auto Select (Windows) or Automatic (Mac OS), the printer will start printing on 
any paper that is already loaded. If you specify Rear Manual Feed, you do not 
need to remove paper from the tray before using the rear path.
2. Submit your print job, then wait for the Paper Status icon on the front 
panel to flash before you load the sheet into the rear path. See 
page 44 for more details about the icons on the front panel. The 
Paper Status icon is shown on the right.
• If the Automatic Roll Feed is installed on your printer and a roll of paper is 
in the rear path, the roll will automatically be unloaded when you submit 
your print job. The Paper Status icon will then flash to indicate there is no 
longer any paper in the rear path. You can then load your sheet.
 If other icons appear, such as the Roll icon with the Paper Jam icon, or the 
Roll icon with the Paper Misalign icon, you may have to unload the roll 
manually before continuing to load a sheet.
• If the manual roll feed is installed on your printer and a roll of paper is in 
the rear path, you will need to unload it manually before you can print on 
sheet paper. See “How do I unload a roll of paper? (70)” on page 17.
3. When you are ready to load the sheet, place the paper in the rear feed, to the 
left as seen from the rear of the printer, with the surface on which you wish to 
print facing up.
