backward. Gently press down until it snaps into place.
NOTE: The slide must snap into place for the image to scan properly. If the slide
does not touch the glass the final scanned image might be blurry.
TIP: If the slide does not snap into place easily, try rotating it 180 degrees. Some
slides have a gap on one side that prevents them from fitting properly.
4. Lower the lid of the HP All-in-One before starting the scan.

1. Place the bottom notch of the Slide and Negative Film holder under the tabs at the
bottom of the lid so that the half with four slide openings is at the bottom.
2. Place the bottom tabs of the lid backing in the slots at the bottom of the lid.
3. Rotate the lid backing up until the catch snaps firmly into place.

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
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.
• Inkjet labels.
• HP CD/DVD tattoo labels.
