To... Follow these steps...
Load paper in the paper
tray
Use the printer’s paper tray to
print on many different types of
paper. You can use everything
from plain paper to HP Premium
Inkjet Transparency Film.
1. Pull out the front paper guide on the paper tray and
slide the side paper guide as far to the left as it will
go.
2. Place a stack of paper into the paper tray.
• Load the paper print side down . The printer
prints on the face-down side of the paper in the
paper tray; the printed document faces up in
the output tray.
• Always load paper in the portrait direction,
with the long edge against the long edge of the
paper tray.
• Be careful not to use too much or too little paper. It may be difficult for the printer to
“grab” a sheet of paper when there are only one or two sheets in the paper tray.
Check that the stack of paper contains several sheets but is no higher than the top of
the front paper guide.
• Use one kind and size of paper at a time. Do
not mix paper types or sizes in the paper tray.
3. On the output tray, move the slider (visible through
the output tray) toward you (away from the inside of
the printer) until it stops. This disengages the photo
tray.
4. Adjust the side and front paper guides to fit close to
the edges of the paper, without bending the paper.
This helps the paper feed straight into the printer.
