Make sure that the tray is completely loaded. If you are using special media that is only available in small quantities, try placing the special media on top of other paper of the same size to help fill the tray. (Some media is picked up more easily if the tray is full.)

When reinserting Tray 2 (optional) into the device, do so gently. Forceful insertion with a full stack of paper may cause sheets to slide up within the device, causing the device to jam or pick multiple sheets at one time.

Use HP media for optimum performance and efficiency.
