Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that
stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not
accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs

•

Any size paper other than those listed in the printer software.

•

Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet
products).

•

Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed
into these papers.

•

Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the product.
They can jam the product or repel the ink.

•

Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck,
and the ink is more likely to smear.

•

Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper
jams.

•

Banner paper.

Additional papers to avoid when copying

•

Envelopes.

•

Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film.

•

Iron-On Transfers.

•

Greeting card paper.

Load paper

This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into
the HP All-in-One for your copies or printouts.

NOTE:

After a copy or print job has started, the paper width sensor can determine

whether the paper is Letter, A4, or a smaller size.

TIP:

To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in

a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature
and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP All-in-One.

This section contains the following topics:

•

Load full-size paper or small-size photo paper

•

Load index cards

•

Load envelopes

•

Load other types of paper

Load full-size paper or small-size photo paper
