HP Papers
◆ HP Premium Inkjet Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting
side of the paper, and insert paper with the arrow side facing up.
◆ HP Premium Photo Paper: Load the shiny side facing down. Always
load at least 5–10 sheets in the IN tray. You can place the photo paper
sheets on top of plain paper.
◆ HP Premium Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the white
transparency strip, with arrows and the HP logo, is on top and going into
the tray first.
◆ HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers: For best results, manually feed one
sheet at a time, with the unprinted side facing down. Flatten the transfer
sheet completely before using it; do not load curled sheets. To prevent
curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until just
before using.
Special Considerations When Using Transparency Film
◆ Load a maximum of 25 transparency sheets at a time.
◆ Be sure to specify Transparency as the Paper Type setting.
◆ Ink dries slower on film. Be sure to allow enough time for the ink to dry
before using the transparency.
◆ If you are copying from a transparency (that is, your original is printed
on transparency film), place a blank piece of paper over the transparency
on the copier glass.
NOTE We recommend using HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film when copying or printing
on transparencies. Other transparency film can jam in the HP PSC 500.
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.
