Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.

Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.

Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.

Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.

Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.

Use paper types that are recommended for the HP All-in-One.

Make a copy

You can make quality copies from the control panel.

To make a copy from the control panel

1.Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.

2.Load your original print side down in the right front corner of the glass.

3.Press Start Copy Black or Start Copy Color to begin copying.

Scan an image

You can start a scan from your computer or from the HP All-in-One. This section explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.

To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and turned on. The HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Mac Software (Mac) must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning.

On a Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system tray (at the lower right side of the screen, near the time) to verify the software is running.

Note Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system tray can cause the HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan functionality. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the HP Photosmart Software.

On a Mac, the software is always running.

Tip You can use the HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Mac Software (Mac) to scan images, including panorama images. Using this software, you can also edit, print, and even share your scanned images. For more information, see the onscreen Help that came with the HP All-in-One.
