Paper

Tips

HP papers

•

HP Premium Inkjet paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting side of

the paper, and then insert paper with the arrow side facing up.

•

HP Premium or Premium Plus Photo Paper: Load the glossy (print) side down.

Always load at least five sheets of regular paper in the input tray first, and

then place the photo paper on top of the regular paper.

•

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the white

transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on top and is going into

the tray first.

•

HP Iron-On T-shirt Transfers: Flatten the transfer sheet completely before

using it; do not load curled sheets. (To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets

sealed in the original package until you are ready to use them.) Manually

feed one sheet at a time, with the unprinted side facing down (the blue

stripe faces up).

•

HP Greeting Cards, Glossy Greeting Cards, or Textured Greeting Cards:

Insert a small stack of HP greeting-card paper, with the print-side down into

the input tray until it stops.

•

HP Restickable Inkjet Stickers: Place the sheets in the input tray, print-side

(sticker-side) down.

Legal-size paper

Fully extend the paper-length guide and make sure that the input tray is pushed

all the way in.

Postcards

(only works with

printing)

Insert a stack of postcards with the print-side down into the input tray until it

stops. Line the postcards up on the right side of the input tray, slide the width

guide up against the left side of the cards, and then slide the length guide in

until it stops.

Labels

(only works with

printing)

•

Always use letter- or A4-size label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet

products (like Avery Inkjet Labels), and make sure that the labels are not

over two years old.

•

Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking together.

•

Place a stack of label sheets on top of standard paper in the input tray,

print-side down. Do

not

insert labels one sheet at a time.
