Printer prints on multiple sheets at once

If the printer prints on multiple sheets at once, follow these guidelines.

Printer prints on multiple sheets at once

If the printer prints on multiple sheets at once, check the following:

Paper weight

The printer might print on multiple sheets of paper at once if the paper is under the recommended paper weight. Use paper that is within the recommended specifications. For paper weight specifications, see the reference guide that came with the printer.

Paper might be loaded improperly

The printer might print on multiple sheets of paper at once if the paper is loaded too far toward the back of the printer or if the paper guide is not positioned firmly against the paper. Reload the paper into the In tray, pushing the paper until you feel resistance, and then slide the paper guide firmly against the edge of the paper stack.

The printer might also print on multiple sheets at once if different paper types are loaded in the In tray. For example, photo paper might be mixed with plain paper. Empty the In tray and load only the paper type that is appropriate for the document that you are printing.

Printer is stalled

If the printer stalls while printing a document, press the Resume button. If the printer does not start printing again, raise the printer cover, and then disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.

Caution First, check for any loose or broken parts in the printer. If you find loose or broken parts, go to www.hp.com/support or contact HP. Support phone numbers are listed in the reference guide that came with the printer or at www.hp.com/support.

If there are no loose or broken parts, follow these steps:

1.Check for and remove any obstacles, such as packing tape or materials, that prevent the print cartridges from moving back and forth.

2.Make sure the print cartridges are installed securely in the print cartridge cradle.

3.Make sure the tri-color print cartridge is installed in the left side of the cradle and the black or photo print cartridge is installed in the right side of the cradle.

4.Check for and clear any paper jam.

5.Lower the printer cover.

6.Connect the power cable to the back of the printer, and then turn on the printer.

If the Resume light is not flashing, continue printing the document.

If the Resume light is flashing, press the Resume button. If the light still flashes, repeat the steps.
