The following procedure describes how to load letter, legal, and A4 size paper into the paper tray. There are specific considerations for loading certain types of paper. After you review this procedure, see load other types of paper in the paper tray on page 12.

For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper types or paper sizes. For more information, see set the paper type on page 13.

Tip: Help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges by storing all media flat in a resealable bag. Extreme changes in temperature and humidity might result in curled media that does not work well in the HP Fax if the media is not stored properly.

1Open the paper tray door and unfold the paper tray. See open and close the paper tray on page 8.

2If it is open, fold up the document catcher.

3Slide the paper guide to its outermost position.

4Tap the stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges of the paper, and then check to make sure all of the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

5Insert the short edge of the paper into the paper tray (print side down) until it stops. To avoid bending the paper, make sure you do not push the paper in too far, or push too hard. If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first.
