Ink tips
Use original HP cartridges.
Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges to make sure there is sucient ink.

NOTE: Original HP cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers and papers to help you easily produce
great results, time after time.
HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Product service or repairs required as a result

original HP cartridges, go to: www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit .
Paper loading tips
Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be in the same size and type
to avoid a paper jam.
Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
Make sure that paper loaded in the paper tray lays at, and the edges are not bent or torn.
Adjust the paper-width guides in the paper tray to t snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guides do not bend the paper in the paper tray.
For more information, see Load media on page 18.
