papers to avoid
We do not recommend the following papers for copying:
• Highly textured stock, such as linen. It may not print evenly, and the ink can
bleed into these papers.
• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for
your unit. They can jam the unit or actually repel ink.
• Multi-part forms (such as duplicate and triplicate forms). They can wrinkle
or get stuck. The ink is also more likely to smear.
• Any size paper other than letter, A4, or legal
• Paper heavier than 36 lb. (135 gsm) or lighter than 16 lb. (60 gsm)
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Photo paper other than HP Premium Photo
• Envelopes
• Transparency film other than HP Premium or Premium Plus
• Heavyweight paper
• Multiple-part forms or label stock
tips for loading other types of paper in the input tray
This section provides guidelines for loading special types of paper and
transparency film for copy jobs. For best results, adjust the paper settings each
time you change paper types and paper sizes. For more information, see set the
paper type on page 8 and set the paper size on page 10.
HP Inkjet T-Shirt Transfer Iron-On
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 and the blue stripe facing up.
HP Premium or Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film
Insert the film so that the white transparency strip with arrows and the HP logo is
on top and goes into the tray first.
set the paper type
If you want to use a different type of paper, such as photo paper, transparency
film, t-shirt transfer paper, or brochures, simply load that paper in the input tray.
Then change the paper-type settings to ensure the best print quality.
HP recommends paper-type settings according to the type of paper you’re using.
