Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.

● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or
torn.
● If you are printing labels, ensure that the label sheets are no more than two years
old. Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the
HP All-in-One, and cause paper jams.
● Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire
stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
● Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make
sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
● Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
● Use paper types that are recommended for the HP All-in-One.
