6 Load originals and load paper
You can load many different types and sizes of paper in the HP All-in-One, including letter
or A4 paper, legal paper, photo paper, transparencies, envelopes, and HP CD/DVD tattoo
labels. By default, the HP All-in-One is set to detect the size and type of paper you load
in the input tray automatically and then adjust its settings to generate the highest quality
output for that paper.
If you are using special papers, such as photo paper, transparency film, envelopes, or
labels, or if you experience poor print quality using the automatically-adjusted settings,
you can manually set the paper size and type for print and copy jobs.

Recommended papers for printing only
Certain papers are supported only when you st art the print job from your computer. The
following list provides information about these papers.

paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed
images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.
Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

HP Iron-On Transfers (for color fabrics or for light or white fabrics) are the ideal solution
for creating custom T-shirts from your digital photos.

Papers to avoid
Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that
stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not
accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.
Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs
• Any size paper other than those listed in the HP All-in-One printer software.
• Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet
devices).
• Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed
into these papers.
• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the HP All-
in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.
• Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck,
and the ink is more likely to smear.
• Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper
jams.
• Banner paper.
Additional papers to avoid when copying
• Envelopes.
• Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or HP Premium
Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.
• Iron-On Transfers.
• Greeting card paper.

the HP All-in-One for your copies or printouts.
TIP: To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in

and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP All-in-One.

to their outermost positions.
2.Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper

CAUTION: Make sure that the HP All-in-One is idle and silent when you load

place. You could push the paper too far forward, causing the HP All-in-One 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 main input tray.
4. Slide the paper-width and paper-length guides inward until they stop at the edges of
the paper.
