For best results, set the paper type and paper size before copying or printing.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
● Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
● Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable
bag.
● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or
torn.
● Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire
stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
● Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make
sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
● Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
● Use paper types that are recommended for the HP All-in-One.

Scan an image
You can start a scan from your computer or from the HP All-in-One. This section
explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.
To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Mac Software
(Mac) must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning.
● On a Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the
Windows system tray (at the lower right side of the screen, near the time) to verify
the software is running.
