Recommended papers for printing and copying
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically
designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos, for example,
load HP Premium or HP Premium Plus photo paper in the input tray.
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.
NOTE: This device supports 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) with tab, A4-, letter-, and legal-
(US only) size paper only.
NOTE: To achieve a borderless print, you must use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) paper
with tab. The HP All-in-One prints to the edge of three sides of the paper. When you
remove the tab from the fourth side, you have a borderless print.
HP Premium Plus Photo Paper
HP Premium Plus Photo Papers are the best HP photo paper, with image quality and
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

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

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper
HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and sharp text. It is opaque
enough for two-sided color usage with no show-through, which makes it ideal for
newsletters, reports, and flyers.
HP All-in-One Paper or HP Printing Paper
Ensure that the Plain paper type is selected when using HP All-in-One Paper and
HP Printing Paper.
• HP All-in-One Paper is specifically designed for HP All-in-One devices. It has an extra
bright blue-white shade that produces sharper text and richer colors than ordinary
multifunction papers.
• HP Printing Paper is a high-quality multifunction paper. It produces documents that
look and feel more substantial than documents printed on standard multipurpose or
copy paper.

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.

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that

NOTE: For a complete list of supported media sizes, see the printer software.
Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs
• Any size paper other than those listed in the technical specifications chapter of your
printed documentation.
• 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

• Iron-On Transfers.
• Greeting card paper.
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.
22 Load originals and load 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 full-size paper
You can load many types of letter or A4 paper into the input tray of the HP All-in-One.
To load full-size paper
1. Flip the tray extender up toward you.
NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
2. Slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position.
3. 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 are the same size and type.

4. Insert the stack of paper into the input tray with the short edge forward. Ensure that
the side you want to print on faces down. Slide the stack of paper toward the device
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 side you
want to print on facing down. For more help on loading full-size paper and
letterhead, refer to the diagram engraved in the base of the input tray.
5. 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.
Load originals and load paper
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 with tab.
NOTE: For borderless printing, the HP All-in-One only supports 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6
inch) photo paper with a tear-off tab. You can automatically adjust the settings in
the Properties dialog box to print a borderless 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo on
HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. Click the Printing Shortcuts tab, and then, in the
Printing Shortcuts list, select Photo printing-borderless.

NOTE: Not all paper sizes and paper types are available with all the functions on
the HP All-in-One. Some paper sizes and paper types can only be used if you are
starting a print job from the Print dialog box in a software application. They are not
available for copying. Papers that are only available for printing from a software
application are indicated as such.
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: The HP All-in-One cannot automatically detect the paper type. For best
results, set the paper type to transparency film in the software before printing onto
transparency film.

HP Inkjet labels (for printing only)
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 before copying or printing.
HP CD/DVD Tattoo labels (for printing only)
▲ 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 tatoo labels, leave the tray extender closed.

Avoid paper jams
Load originals and load paper
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 force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the HP All-in-One.
