Select print media
The device is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a
variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum
print quality. Visit the HP Web site at 
www.hp.com for more information about HP media.
Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines.
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information,
see 
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Load only one type of media at a time into the input tray.
• Load media print-side down and aligned against the right and back edges of the input
tray. For more information, see 
Load media.
• Do not overload the input tray. For more information, see 
Understand specifications
for supported media.
• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following
media:
• Multipart forms
• Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
• Media with cutouts or perforations
• Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
• Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
Cards and envelopes
• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows.
Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that
are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
• Load envelopes with the flaps facing up.
Photo media
•Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer
and more memory is required from your computer.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack
up may cause smearing.

							Transparencies
• Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing
towards the back of the device.
•Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time
and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the
output tray.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack
up may cause smearing.
Custom-sized media
• Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.
• If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application
before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You might need
to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized media.
Understand specifications for supported media
Use the Understand supported sizes and Understand supported media types and
weights tables to determine the correct media to use with your device, and determine
what features will work with your media.

							3.Flip the tray extender up toward you.
NOTE:When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
4.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.

the input tray. If it 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 device 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.

Load other types of paper
The following papers require extra attention to load them properly.
NOTE:Not all paper sizes and paper types are available with all the functions on
the device. 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 or faxing. 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

top and is going into the input tray first.
NOTE:The device 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.
HP Iron-On Transfers (for printing only)
1.Flatten the transfer sheet completely before using it; do not load curled sheets.
TIP:To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until
you are ready to use them.
2.Locate the blue stripe on the nonprinting side of the transfer paper and then manually
feed one sheet at a time into the input tray with the blue stripe facing up.

in the input tray.
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
on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the device, 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.
