HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing and copying of everyday documents. All papers
with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and
produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for
papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.
To purchase HP papers, go to Shop for Products and Services and select ink, toner and paper.

							Tips for ink and paper
•Use genuine HP cartridges. Genuine HP cartridges are designed for and tested with HP printers to help you
produce great results, time after time.
•Make sure the cartridges have sufficient ink. To view the estimated ink levels, touch the Ink icon from the
Home screen.
•If you want to print a black and white document using black ink only, do one of the following according to your
operating system.
◦On Windows: Open your printer software, click Set Preferences. On the Paper/Quality tab, click
Advanced. Select Black Ink Only from the Print in Grayscale drop-down list under Printer Features.
◦On Mac: From the Print dialog box, choose the Paper Type/Quality pane, click Color Options, and then
choose Grayscale from the Color pop-up menu.
If the Print dialog does not show printer options, click the blue disclosure triangle next to the printer name
(Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6) or Show Details (Mac OS X v10.7). Use the pop-up menu toward the
bottom of the dialog to choose the Paper Type/Quality pane.
•To learn more tips about working with cartridges, see Tips for working with cartridges on page 29 for more
information.
•Load a stack of paper, not just one page. Use clean and flat paper of the same size. Make sure only one type
of paper is loaded at a time.
•Adjust the paper-width guides in the paper tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guides do not bend the paper in the paper tray.
•Set the print quality and paper size settings according to the type and size of paper loaded in the paper tray.
•To clear paper jam, see Clear paper jam on page 37 for more information.
