Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines:
•
Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more
information, see
Understand specifications for supported media .
• Load only one type of media at a time into a tray. If you place a special media on
top of a plain media, then you may end up with a paper jam or an incorrect print.
• For Tray 1 and Tray 2, load media print-side down, aligned against the back of the
tray. Center the media in the input tray and adjust the paper-width guides. Tray 2 is
available with some models. For more information, see
Load media .
• Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper. Tray 2 does not automatically detect
paper sizes. In the printer driver, you must select the paper size from the print
options.
• Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for
supported media . HP recommends loading special media no higher than 3/4 full.
• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following
media:
◦
Multipart forms
◦ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
◦ Media with cutouts or perforations
◦ Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
◦ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
