2-4 All About Paper
3 Choose the appropriate paper type category.
For plain paper and letterhead, select Plain Paper.
For non-HP paper, choose the category that best matches the paper.
4 Choose the appropriate paper type option, if available.
If you are using non-HP paper, choose the Other paper type option
within each paper type category. For example, if you are using non-HP
transparency film, in the Transparency Films paper type category,
select Other Transparency Films.
NOTE If you are printing on special HP papers, HP PSC 500 chooses the appropriate print
quality setting to ensure the clearest results. If you select HP Iron-On
T-shirt Transfers, HP PSC 500 prints using Flip Horizontal orientation.
Tips on Loading Paper in the IN Tray
All Papers
◆ Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
◆ Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
◆ Tap the stack on a flat surface to even the edges of the paper.
◆ Put the paper into the IN tray with the print side down and with the
letterhead (top of the page) forward.
◆ Push the paper forward into the IN tray until it stops.
◆ Slide the paper width and length adjusters to fit snugly against the edges
of the paper stack. Be sure that the paper stack lies flat in the IN tray and
fits under the tab of the paper-length adjuster.
NOTE To avoid paper jams, remove papers from the OUT tray frequently. OUT tray capacity
is affected by the type of paper and the amount of ink you are using. Refer to
