							The paper cannot be loaded successfully
●Ensure no paper is loaded.
●Ensure the paper is far enough inside the printer, you should feel the printer grab the paper.
●Do not attempt to straighten the paper during the aligning process, unless instructed to do so by
the front-panel display. The printer automatically attempts to straighten the paper.
●The paper may be crumpled, or warped, or may have irregular edges.
General unsuccessful roll load issues
●If the paper does not load, the leading edge of the paper may not be straight or clean and needs
to be trimmed. Remove the initial 2 cm (1 in) from the roll and try again. This may be necessary
even with a new roll of paper.
●Ensure the roll ends are tight against the spindle ends.
●Check that the spindle is correctly inserted.
●Check that the paper is correctly loaded on the spindle, and that it loads over the roll towards you.
●Check that all roll end plugs have been removed.
●Check that the paper is wound tightly on the roll.
●Do not touch the roll or paper at during the alignment process.

instructions.
1.When prompted by the front-panel display, lift the blue lever on the left. The printer attempts to
straighten the roll.
2.When prompted by the front-panel display, lower the blue lever. The printer checks the alignment.
If the roll is aligned, the printer measures the width and you are now ready to print.
If the roll is still not aligned, the front panel displays an error and instructions.
3.When prompted by the front-panel display, lift the blue lever on the left.
4.Rewind the roll from the end of the spindle until the edge is on the blue line.
5.Press OK, on the front panel.
6.When prompted by the front-panel display, lower the lever. The printer checks the alignment. If the
roll is aligned, the printer measures the width and you are now ready to print.
If the roll is still not aligned, the front panel displays an error and instructions to start again at step

Unsuccessful sheet load
●Guide the sheet, especially thick papers, when the printer initially feeds the sheet.
●Do not attempt to straighten the sheet during the loading process, unless instructed to by the front-
panel display. The printer automatically attempts to straighten the sheet.
●Do not use hand-cut sheets, which may be of irregular shapes. Use only purchased sheets.
If the sheet is not caught by the printer, the front-panel display asks you to push paper further into the
printer, and tries to feed the paper again.
If the sheet is caught by the printer but is not inserted straight, the front panel displays the following
instructions.
1.When prompted by the front-panel display, lift the blue lever on the left.
2.Adjust the sheet to align with the front and right side blue lines.
3.Once the sheet is aligned, press OK on the front panel.

The paper type is not in the driver
To work with a paper not in the driver, you can use your paper as one of the profiles already in the driver,
however, you must identify whether your paper is transparent or translucent, glossy, matte, or HP
Banners with Tyvek®.
NOTE:For glossy paper, it is important to use a glossy paper type, as matte black ink does not print
well on glossy paper.
Transparent or translucent paper
If your paper is a transparent film (for example, a transparency) select paper type Film > Transparent/
Clear film.
If you paper is a translucent paper (for example, technical paper) select paper type Technical paper
> Natural Tracing Paper, Vellum, or Translucent bond.
Glossy paper
If your paper is glossy, identify whether it is a photo paper or a proofing paper. If you are not sure consider
it photo paper.
If your paper is a photo paper, use the Photo Paper category. For glossy or high-gloss paper select
paper type Photo Gloss Paper. For Semi-gloss, Satin, Pearl, or Luster finishes, select paper type Semi-
gloss/Satin Paper.
To increase gamut on photo paper select paper type HP Universal High-Gloss Photo Paper or HP
Universal Semi-Gloss Photo Paper, depending on the finish.
If you are printing on a glossy banner (for example, HP Instant-Dry Indoor Banner, Gloss) select paper
type Photo Gloss Paper.
Matte Paper
Your paper type selection for matte paper depends on the paper’s ink absorption capacity. To select a
paper category and type, first identify if your paper is general purpose or photographic. Then select the
recommended paper types.
General purpose paper
●For thin papers (< 90 g/m2) uncoated papers (for example plain paper or bright white paper) select
paper type Bond and Coated > Plain Paper.
●For light coated papers ( Coated Paper.

							●For heavyweight coated papers ( Heavyweight
Coated Paper.
●For cockle-free very thick coated papers (> 200 g/m
2), select paper type Bond and Coated >

Photographic paper
For photographic paper, select paper type Photo Paper > Photo Matte Paper.
HP Banners with Tyvek®
For HP Banners with Tyvek®, select paper type Photo Paper > Photo Gloss Paper.
Black ink is easily removed when touched
This happens when your paper is incompatible with matte black ink. To use non-matte black ink, select
paper type Photo Paper > Photo Gloss Paper.
After printing, the paper has wrinkles or there is too much ink
This happens when too much ink is used. To use less ink, select a thinner category. Matte paper
categories from thinnest to thickest are:
●Plain Paper
●Coated Paper
●Heavyweight Coated Paper
●Super Heavyweight Coated Paper
For other image quality problems, see 
Troubleshooting print-quality issues on page 123.

NOTE:If you find that there is still some paper causing an obstruction within the printer, restart the
procedure and carefully remove all pieces of paper.
The printer displays out of paper when paper is available
If the roll has become loose from its core, it will not feed correctly and the printer will not load the paper.
If possible, tighten the paper to its core or load a new roll.
Prints do not fall nicely into the basket
●Ensure the basket is correctly installed.
●Ensure the basket is open.
●Ensure the basket not full.
●Paper often tends to curl near the end of a roll, which can cause output problems. Load a new roll,
or remove prints manually as they are completed.
The sheet stays in the printer when the print has been
completed
The printer holds the paper to allow the print to dry after printing, see Change the drying time
on page 44. If the paper is only partially ejected after the drying time, gently pull the sheet out of the
printer. If the automatic cutter is disabled, use the Form feed and cut key 
 on the front panel, see
Feed and cut the paper on page 45.
The paper is cut when the print has been completed
By default the printer cuts the paper after the drying time has been completed, see Change the drying
time on page 44. You can disable the cutter, see Turn the automatic cutter on and off on page 45.
The cutter does not cut well
By default the printer is set to automatically cut the paper after the drying time has been completed.
