The following is a list of HP papers you can use for copying and printing. Depending on
your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

fade resistance superior to store-processed photos. They are ideal for printing your highresolution images for framing or including in a photo album. These papers are available
in several sizes, including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), A4, and 8.5 x 11
inch sizes for printing or copying photos from the HP All-in-One.

papers. They look and feel like store-processed photos and can be mounted under glass
or in an album. These papers are available in several sizes, including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6
inch) (with or without tabs), A4, and 8.5 x 11 inch sizes for printing or copying photos from
the HP All-in-One.
HP Advanced Photo Paper or HP Photo Paper

bright blue-white shade that produces sharper text and richer colors than ordinary

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.
Recommended papers for printing only
Certain papers are supported only when you start the print job from your computer. The
following list provides information about these papers.
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers. 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.
Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

HP Iron-On Transfers (for color fabrics or for light or white fabrics) are the ideal solution
for creating custom T-shirts from your digital photos.

Papers to avoid
Load originals and load paper
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 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.

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.
NOTE: After a copy or print job has started, the paper width sensor can determine
whether the paper is Letter, A4, or a smaller size.
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.

To load full-size paper
1. Slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position.
NOTE: If you are using letter or A4 paper or smaller, make sure the tray extender
is open all the way.
2. Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper
for the following:
• Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.

3. Insert the stack of paper into the input tray with the short edge forward and the print
side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops.
CAUTION: Make sure that the HP All-in-One is idle and silent when you load
paper into the input tray. If the HP All-in-One is servicing the print cartridges or
otherwise engaged in a task, the paper stop inside the device might not be in
place. You could push the paper too far forward, causing the HP All-in-One to
eject blank pages.
TIP: If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the print side
down.
4. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
Do not overload the input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the input tray
and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
You can load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper into the input tray of the HP All-in-One.
For the best results, use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) HP Premium Plus Photo Paper or HP
Premium Photo Paper.
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.

Load other types of paper
The following types of paper are designed for special projects. Create your project in the
HP Photosmart Software or another application, set the paper type and size, and then
print.
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film and HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency
Film
▲ Insert the film so that the white transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on
top and is going into the input tray first.
NOTE: For best results, set the paper type to transparency film before printing
on transparency film.
HP Iron-On Transfers
1. Flatten the transfer sheet completely before using it; do not load curled sheets.
Load originals and load paper
TIP: To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until
you are ready to use them.
2. Locate the blue stripe on the nonprinting side of the transfer paper and then manually
feed one sheet at a time into the input tray with the blue stripe facing up.
HP Greeting Cards, HP Photo Greeting Cards, or HP Textured Greeting Cards
▲ Insert a small stack of HP greeting card paper into the input tray with the print side
down; slide the stack of cards forward until it stops.
TIP: Make sure the area on which you want to print is inserted first, facing down
in the input tray.
HP Inkjet labels
1. Always use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet devices (such as
HP inkjet labels), and make sure that the labels are no more than two years old. Labels
on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the HP All-in-One,
causing subsequent paper jams.
2. Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking together.
3. Place a stack of label sheets on top of full-size plain paper in the input tray, label side
down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.
For best results, set the paper type and paper size before printing.

HP CD/DVD Tattoo labels
▲ Place one sheet of CD/DVD tattoo paper in the input tray with the print side down;
slide the CD/DVD tattoo paper forward until it stops.
NOTE: When you use CD/DVD tattoo labels, leave the tray extender closed.

Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
• Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure
the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
• Do not overload the input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the input tray
and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the HP All-in-One.
