Loading Media

Notes

The HP DeskJet 400 printer is designed to work with cut-sheet paper and media only. If continuous Z-

 

fold paper is loaded into the printer — whether you are using the paper tray or loading the paper feed

 

slot by hand — the printer will detect a paper jam error and will not operate properly. See Table 1.5 for

 

the types of paper.
