Cause
Solution
The correct paper type is not specified in the software or printer
driver.
Verify that the correct paper type is selected in the software or
printer driver.
The input tray is overfilled. Remove excess paper from the input tray. Do not exceed the
maximum stack height marks for the tray.
Paper in another input tray is the same size as the
transparencies, and the product is defaulting to the other tray.
Make sure that the input tray containing the transparencies or
glossy paper is selected in the software program or printer
driver. Use the product control panel to configure the tray to
the paper type loaded.
The tray containing the transparencies or glossy paper is not
configured correctly for type.

driver. Use the product control panel to configure the tray to
the paper type loaded.
Transparencies or glossy paper might not meet supported
paper specifications.
Use only paper that meets the HP paper specifications for this
product.
High-humidity environments may cause glossy paper not to
feed, or to feed too many sheets.
Avoid printing glossy paper in high humidity conditions. When
printing glossy paper, removing the paper from the wrapper
and letting it rest for a few hours can improve feeding into the
product. However, letting paper rest in humid environments
may also cause blisters.
