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.
Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs
•
Any size paper other than those listed in the HP All-in-One printer software.
•
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.
•
Inkjet labels.
•
HP CD/DVD tattoo labels.
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.
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.
This section contains the following topics:
•
•
Load up to 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
•
Load postcards, Hagaki, or index cards
