Tips for selecting and using print media
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information,
see
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Load only one type of media at a time into a tray. If you place a special media on top
of a plain media, you may end up with a paper jam or an incorrect print.
• Load media print-side down, aligned against the back of the tray. Align the media to
the right side of the input tray and adjust the paper-width guide. For more information,
see
Load media.
• Do not overload the trays. For more information, see
Understand specifications for
supported media. HP recommends loading special media no higher than 3/4 full.
• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following
media:
◦ Multipart forms
◦ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
◦ Media with cutouts or perforations
