HP P2055 Manual

							Tray 1
Tray 1 is accessed from the front of the product. The product prints from Tray 1 before trying to print
from other trays.
Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the product and that the print is not skewed
(crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width of the media
that you are using.

							Tray 2
Media guides ensure that the media feeds correctly into the product and that the print is not skewed.
Tray 2 has side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the
length and width of the media that you are using.
NOTE:When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. This reduces ja ms by preventing multiple sheets of media from
feeding through the product at one time.
Load A6-size paper
When loading A6-size paper, adjust the length by slid ing forward only the center panel of the rear media
guide.

							Use paper output options 
The product has two output locations: the top (standard) output bin and the straight-through paper path
(rear output).
Print to the top (standard) output bin
The top output bin collects paper face-down, in the co rrect order. The top output bin should be used for
most print jobs, including transparencies. To use the top  output bin, be sure that the rear output (straight-
through paper path) is closed. To avoid jams, do not  open or close the rear output while the product is
printing.

							Print to the straight-through paper path (rear output)
The product always uses the straight-through paper path  if it is open. Paper exits face-up, with the last
page on top (reverse order).
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output provides th e straightest path. Opening the straight-through paper
path might improve performance with the following paper types:
● Envelopes
● Labels
● Small custom-size paper
● Postcards
● Paper heavier than 120 g/m
2 (32 lb)
To open the straight-through paper path, grasp the hand le at the top of the rear door, and pull the door
down.
NOTE: Be sure to open the straight-through paper path, not the jam-release door.
