Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

Make sure nothing is blocking the paper path.

Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use
paper with cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured
or embossed.

Do not use multiple-part forms.

Load only one paper type at a time into any of the trays.

Except when using manual feed, load the paper print side down
with the right edge of the paper aligned against the right edge of
the tray.

Do not load more than 150 sheets of paper or 15 envelopes into
the main tray at one time. Load only one sheet of paper into the
manual feed tray.

Always use paper that conforms with those listed in the “Printer
Specifications and HP Supplies”
.

To clear the printer of any jammed paper, open the access cover and
pull the paper towards you. If you cannot reach the jammed paper, turn
the panel knob at the back of the printer, remove the panel, pull out the
jammed paper, and replace the panel. If you still cannot reach the
paper, lift up the output tray, and remove the jammed paper from the
main paper tray.
