Tips for selecting and using print media

For the best results, observe the following guidelines:

•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, then you may end up with a paper jam or an incorrect print.

•For Tray 1 and Tray 2, load media print-side down, aligned against the back of the tray. Center the media in the input tray and adjust the paper-width guides. Tray 2 is available with some models. For more information, see Load media.

•Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper. Tray 2 does not automatically detect paper sizes. In the printer driver, you must select the paper size from the print options.

•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

◦Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well

◦Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
