tips for loading other types of paper in the main tray

The following table provides guidelines for loading certain types of paper
and transparency film. For best results, adjust the paper settings each time
you change paper types and paper sizes. For more information, see choose
the paper tray and set the paper type
on page 22.

tips

HP papers

• HP Premium Inkjet Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting side

of the paper, and then insert paper with the arrow side facing up.

• HP Premium or Premium Plus Photo Paper: Load the glossy (print) side

down. Always load at least five sheets of regular paper in the main tray
first, and then place the photo paper on top of the regular paper.

• HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the white

transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on top and is going
into the tray first.

• HP Iron-On T-shirt Transfers: 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 you are ready to use them.)
Manually feed one sheet at a time, with the unprinted side facing down
(the blue stripe faces up).

• HP Greeting Cards, Glossy Greeting Cards, or Textured Greeting

Cards: Insert a small stack of HP greeting-card paper, with the print-
side down into the main tray until it stops.

• HP Restickable Inkjet Stickers: Place the sheets in the main tray, print-

side (sticker-side) down.

Legal-size paper

Fully extend the paper-length guide and make sure that the main tray is
pushed all the way in.

Postcards
(only works with
printing)

Insert a stack of postcards with the print-side down into the main tray until
it stops. Line the postcards up on the right side of the main tray, slide the
width guide up against the left side of the cards, and then slide the
paper-length guide in until it stops.

Labels
(works only with
printing)

• Always use letter-size or A4-size label sheets designed for use with

HP inkjet products (like Avery Inkjet Labels), and make sure that the
labels are not over two years old.

• Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking

together.

• Place a stack of label sheets on top of standard paper in the main tray,

print-side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.

4” x 6” Photo paper
(works only with
printing)

Insert the photo paper with the print-side down into the main tray until it
stops. Place the long edge of the photo paper against the right side of the
main tray, slide the paper-width guide up against the long edge of the
photo paper, and slide the paper-length guide in until it stops. If the photo
paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the
tabs are closest to you.

Continuous (banner)
paper
(works only with
printing)

Continuous banner paper is also known as computer or z-fold paper.
• Before loading banner paper, remove all other paper from the main

tray, then raise the output tray until it catches in the raised position.

• If you use non-HP banner paper, use 20-lb. paper and fan the paper

before loading it.

• Verify that the stack of banner paper contains at least five pages in the

stack.

• Carefully tear off the perforated edge strips from both sides of the

paper stack, if any, and unfold and refold the paper to make sure the
pages do not stick together.

• Put the paper in the main tray so that the unattached edge is at the top

of the stack. Insert the first edge into the main tray until it stops, as
shown in the illustration above.
