To avoid jams
•To prevent jams, 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
•Make sure the paper path is not blocked.
•Do not overload the input tray. The input tray holds up to 50 sheets of plain paper (HP Multipurpose Paper) or other print media measuring 5 mm (0.2 in) in thickness.
•Load paper properly, making sure the paper is squarely against the alignment guide and that the media width guide is snug, but not tight, against the paper. Adjust the left paper guide until it fits snugly against the edge of the media.
•Use paper that conforms with the media types/sizes and media weights listed in Printer specifications. See HP supplies and accessories for a list of
•Stack paper neatly when printing on both sides of the page
