CauseSolution
The paper does not meet specifications.Use only paper that meets HP specifications. See Paper andprint media on page 29.
A component is installed incorrectly.Verify that the print cartridge is correctly installed.
You are using paper that has already passed through a product
or copier.Do not use paper that has been pr eviously printed on or copied.
A tray is loaded incorrectly.Remove any excess paper from the tray. Make sure that the
stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the tray. See

The paper is skewed.The tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them so they
hold the stack firmly in place without bending it.
The paper is binding or sticking together.Remove the paper, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload

output bin before removing it.
During two-sided printing, you removed the paper before the
second side of the document was printed.Reset the product and print the document again. Wait until the

The paper is in poor condition.Replace the paper.
The internal rollers from the tray are not picking up the paper.Remove the top sheet of paper. If the paper is too heavy, it
might not be picked from the tray.
The paper has rough or jagged edges.Replace the paper.
The paper is perforated or embossed.Perforated or embossed paper does not separate easily. Feed
single sheets from Tray 1.
Product supply items have reached the end of their useful life.Check the product control panel for messages prompting you
to replace supplies, or print a supplies status page to verify the
remaining life of the supplies. See
