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