HP papers	•	HP Premium Inkjet Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting
		side of the paper, and then insert paper with the arrow side facing up.
	•	HP Premium or Premium Plus Photo Paper: Load the glossy (print) side
		down. Always load at least five sheets of regular paper in the paper
		tray first, and then place the photo paper on top of the regular paper.
	•	HP Premium or Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so

		top and is going into the tray first.
	•	HP Inkjet T-Shirt Transfer Iron-On: Flatten the transfer sheet completely
		before using it; do not load curled sheets. (To prevent curling, keep

		facing down (the blue stripe faces up).

	•	Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking
		together.

		tray, print-side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.
