Printer settings tips
To print successfully, the HP printheads should be functioning properly, the ink tanks should be lled with
suicient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the printer should have the appropriate settings. For
more information, see Tips for working with ink and printhead on page 107.
Print settings do not apply to copying or scanning.
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 side to be printed on facing up.
● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays at, and the edges are not bent or torn.
● Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to t snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
For more information, see Load media on page 18.
