Use the correct paper type

Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the product. Make sure only one type of paper is loaded at a time.

Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.

Cause: The paper type was incorrect or more than one type of paper was loaded.

Load media correctly

Solution: Remove the stack of paper from the input tray, reload the paper, and then slide the paper width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.

For more information, see: “Load media” on page 15

Cause: The paper guides were not positioned correctly.
