Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet Paper Handling

Unprintable regions: Top: .33", Bottom: .67", Left and Right: .25"

Standard: 100-sheet tray

Loading Paper in the Standard Tray

  1. Pull the paper tray toward you until it's fully extended.
  2. Slide the green paper guide until it snaps into place at the appropriate paper size setting (factory set for letter and legal). NOTE: only letter, legal and A4 paper can be loaded for fax reception and copying.
  3. Remove up to 100 sheets of paper from its packaging (about 1/2-inch thick). Tap the short edge of the stack on a flat surface to even the stack.
  4. Load the paper (print side down), aligning the right edge of the paper to the right side of the tray. The paper stack should fit underneath the frip on the paper tray handle.
  5. Close the paper tray until it just touches the end of the paper you loaded. The paper should lay flat in the tray, not buckled; buckling can cause an "Out of fax paper" error and message. Don't force the tray to close all the way or you may cause a paper jam.

Loading Envelopes in the Standard Tray

  1. Remove the output tray from the HP OfficeJet and set it aside.
  2. Pull the paper tray toward you until it's fully extended.
  3. Load up to 20 envelopes flap up, with the top edge aligned to the right side of the HP OfficeJet.
  4. Slide the green paper guide to the right until it's flush with the edge of the envelopes, and it snaps into place at the appropriate envelope setting. The envelope guide will pop up to keep the envelopes vertically aligned.
  5. Close the paper tray gently until the envelope guide is flush with the envelopes. Don't force it or you may cause a paper jam.
  6. Insert the output tray.
  7. Set the paper size to "Envelopes" in the printer's menu.
