							Recommended papers for printing and copying
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are
specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos,
for example, load HP Premium or HP Premium Plus photo paper in the input tray.
Note 1 This device supports 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) with tab, A4-, letter-, and
legal- (US only) size paper only.
Note 2 To achieve a borderless print, you must use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch)
paper with tab. The HP All-in-One prints to the edge of three sides of the
paper. When you remove the tab from the fourth side, you have a borderless
print.
To order HP papers and other supplies, go to  www.hp.com/learn/suresupply . If
prompted, choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and
then click one of the shopping links on the page.
Note At this time, this portion of the HP website is available in English only.
Papers to avoid
Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that
stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does
not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.
Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs
●Any size paper other than those listed  in the Technical specifications chapter. For
more information, see  Technical information.
● Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP
inkjet devices).
● Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can
bleed into these papers.
● Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the
HP All-in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.
● Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get
stuck, and the ink is more likely to smear.
● Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause
paper jams.
● Banner paper.
● 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper without tabs.
Additional papers to avoid when copying
● Envelopes.
● Transparency film other than HP  Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or
HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.
● Iron-On Transfers.
● Greeting card paper.

							Load paper
This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper
into the HP All-in-One for your copies or printouts.
TipTo help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper
flat in a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in
temperature and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well
in the HP All-in-One.

To load full-size paper
1. Slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position.
2. Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the
paper for the following:
– Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
– Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
3. Insert the stack of paper into the input tray with the short edge forward and the print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops.

							CautionMake sure that the HP All-in-One is idle and silent when you
load paper into the input tray. If the HP All-in-One is servicing the print
cartridges or otherwise engaged in a task, the paper stop inside the
device might not be in place. You could push the paper too far forward,
causing the HP All-in-One to eject blank pages.
Tip If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the
print side down. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead,
refer to the diagram engraved in the base of the input tray.
4. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper. Do not overload the input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the input
tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
5. Flip the tray extender up toward you.
Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
You can load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper into the input tray of the HP All-in-
One. For the best results, use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) HP Premium Plus Photo Paper
or HP Premium Photo Paper with tab.
Note For borderless printing, the HP All-in-One only supports printing 10 x 15
cm (4 x 6 inch) paper with tab.
Tip To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper
flat in a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in
temperature and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well
in the HP All-in-One.

							Load other types of paper
The following papers require extra attention to load them properly.
NoteNot all paper sizes and paper types are available with all the functions
on the HP All-in-One. Some paper sizes and paper types can only be used if
you are starting a print job from the  Print dialog box in a software application.
They are not available for copying. Papers that are only available for printing
from a software application are indicated as such.
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film and HP Premium Plus Inkjet
Transparency Film
➔ Insert the film so that the white transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo)
is on top and is going into the input tray first.
Note The HP All-in-One cannot automatically detect the paper size or
paper type. For best results, set the paper type to transparency film before
printing or copying onto transparency film.

Tip To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original
package until you are ready to use them.

HP Greeting Cards, HP Photo Greeting Cards, or HP Textured Greeting Cards
(for printing only)
➔ Insert a small stack of HP greeting card paper  into the input tray with the print
side down; slide the stack of cards forward until it stops.

the HP All-in-One, causing subsequent paper jams.
2. Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking together.
3. Place a stack of label sheets on top of full-size plain paper in the input tray, label side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.
For best results, set the paper type and paper size before copying or printing.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
● Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
● Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable
bag.
● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays  flat and the edges are not bent or
torn.
● Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire
stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
● Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make
sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
● Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
● Use paper types that are recommended for the HP All-in-One.
