Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 1600C / CM Paper Handling

Continuous Feeding

Standard Tray: Paper Tray holds 180 sheets cut-sheet paper

Adjusts for Letter, Legal and A4.

Loading the Standard Tray:

1. Move the paper-width selector on the left side of the lower paper tray all the way to one end or the other to load letter, legal or A4 paper. The paper-width selector position is correct only when fully forward or fully back.
   
2. Pull the paper-length adjuster from the lower paper tray until it comes to a stop.
   
3. Insert a stack of paper (up to 180 sheets) fully forward ito the input tray with the print side down and letterhead first. Make sure the paper is lying flat at all its corners and is not lying on top of any obstructions. Paper can be inserted with the upper tray on or off.
   
4. Psh the paper-length adjuster forward so that the paper is fully inserted into the printer and the adjuster comes to a stop. The adjuster may not go all the way forward, depending on the length of the paper.
   

Optional Tray: 500-Sheet Tray (HP C3543A)

Manual Feeding:

1. When using the manual feed slot, you must also adjust the paper-width selector on the front of the printer for the width of the paper you are manually loading. The wrong paper width setting could result in a paper jam.
2. When loading transparency film singly into the manual feed slot, insert the film with the white strip down, facing the back of the printer.
   

Envelopes:

1. Adjust the envelope/paper size selector at the top of the printer for the item you want to load.
2. Insert the envelope (stamp corner at lower right facing the front of the printer) into the manual-feed slot at the top of the printer until the printer physically grabs it and the Manual Feed light goes off.
