film, simply load that paper in the main tray.
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 paper
tray first, and then place the photo paper on top of the regular paper.
• 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 is going into the tray first.
• 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 (the blue stripe faces up).
• HP Greeting Cards, HP Linen Greeting Cards, or HP Felt-Textured
Greeting Cards: Insert a small stack of HP greeting-card paper, print
side down, into the paper tray until it stops.
Legal-sized paper
• Fully extend the paper-length guide and make sure that the paper in the
paper tray is pushed in all the way.
Note: You can only copy a legal-sized document by placing the
original in the automatic document feeder (ADF). You cannot copy a
legal-sized page by placing it on the glass.
