The following procedure describes how to load letter, legal, and A4 size paper
into the paper tray. There are specific considerations for loading certain types
of paper. After you review this procedure, see
load other types of paper in the
paper tray on page 12.
For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper types or
paper sizes. For more information, see
set the paper type on page 13.
Tip: Help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges by
storing all media flat in a resealable bag. Extreme changes in
temperature and humidity might result in curled media that does
not work well in the HP Fax if the media is not stored properly.
1 Open the paper tray door and unfold the paper tray. See open and close
the paper tray on page 8.
2 If it is open, fold up the document catcher.
3 Slide the paper guide to its outermost position.
4 Tap the stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges of the paper,
and then check to make sure all of the paper in the stack is the same size
and type.
5 Insert the short edge of the paper into the paper tray (print side down) until
it stops. To avoid bending the paper, make sure you do not push the
paper in too far, or push too hard. If you are using letterhead, insert the
top of the page first.
