Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

NOTE: For a complete list of supported media sizes, see the printer software.

Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs

Any size paper other than those listed in the technical specifications chapter of your printed documentation.

Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).

Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed into these papers.

Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the HP All- in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.

Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck, and the ink is more likely to smear.

Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper jams.

Banner paper.

Additional papers to avoid when copying

Envelopes.

Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.

Iron-On Transfers.

Greeting card paper.

Load paper

This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into the HP All-in-One for your copies or printouts.

NOTE: After a copy or print job has started, the paper width sensor can determine whether the paper is Letter, A4, or a smaller size.

TIP: To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP All-in-One.
