images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

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.
NOTE: For a complete list of supported media sizes, see the printer software.
Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs 
• Any size paper other than those listed in the technical specifications chapter of your 
printed documentation. 
• 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. 
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.
NOTE: After a copy or print job has started, the paper width sensor can determine 
whether the paper is Letter, A4, or a smaller size.
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.

the side you want to print on faces down. Slide the stack of paper toward the device 
until it stops.
CAUTION: Make sure that the HP All-in-One is idle and silent when you load

place. You could push the paper too far forward, causing the HP All-in-One to 
eject blank pages.

want to print on facing down. For more help on loading full-size paper and
letterhead, refer to the diagram engraved in the base of the input tray.
5. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.

							HP Inkjet labels (for printing only) 
1. Always use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet devices (such as 
HP inkjet labels), and make sure that the labels are no more than two years old. Labels

causing subsequent paper jams.

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.

Avoid paper jams

the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
