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.
HP Advanced Photo Paper or HP Photo Paper
HP Advanced Photo Paper or HP Photo Paper is a sturdy, glossy photo paper that
features an instant-dry finish for easy handling without smudging. It resists water, smears,
fingerprints, and humidity. Your prints have a look and feel comparable to a storeprocessed photo. It is available in several sizes, including A4, 8.5 x 11 inch, and 10 x 15
cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs) for printing or copying photos from the product. HP
Advanced Photo Paper is marked on the nonprinting corners with the following symbol.
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film
Load originals and load paper
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film make your color presentations vivid and even more
impressive. This film is easy to use and handle and dries quickly without smudging.
HP Premium Inkjet Paper
HP Premium Inkjet Paper is the ultimate coated paper for high-resolution usage. A
smooth, matte finish makes it ideal for your highest-quality documents.
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
• HP All-in-One Paper is specifically designed for HP All-in-One products. 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.
22 Load originals and load paper
To order HP papers and other supplies, go to www.hp.com/buy/supplies. If prompted,
choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one
of the shopping links on the page.
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
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.
HP Brochure & Flyer Paper
HP Brochure & Flyer Paper (Gloss or Matte) is glossy-coated or matte-coated on both
sides for two-sided use. They are the perfect choice for near-photographic reproductions
and business graphics for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and
calendars.
HP Premium Presentation Paper
HP Premium Presentation Paper gives your presentation a quality look and feel.
To order HP papers and other supplies, go to
choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one
of the shopping links on the page.
NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.
Papers to avoid
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.
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 printer software.
• Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet
devices).

Chapter 6
• 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.
• 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.
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.

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 product
until it stops.
CAUTION: Make sure that the product is idle and silent when you load paper
into the input tray. If the product is servicing the print cartridges or otherwise
engaged in a task, you could push the paper too far forward, causing the product
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
