tips

 

 

 

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

 

 

that the white transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on

 

 

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

 

 

transfer sheets sealed in the original package until you are ready to

 

 

use them.) Manually feed one sheet at a time, with the unprinted side

 

 

facing down (the blue stripe faces up).

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

 

 

together.
