Tips for selecting and using print media

•Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media.

•Load only one type of media at a time into a tray. If you place a special media on top of a plain media, you may end up with a paper jam or an incorrect print.

•Load media print-side down, aligned against the back of the tray. Align the media to the right side of the input tray and adjust the paper-width guide. For more information, see Load media.

•Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. HP recommends loading special media no higher than 3/4 full.

•To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following media:

◦Multipart forms

◦Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled

◦Media with cutouts or perforations
