NOTE: If the managed service provider has installed locking tray guides, these may not be adjustable.
Contact the managed service representative for more information on locking or unlocking of paper trays.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends
up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack
of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static
electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.
6. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,
and continue.
7. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth
in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.
The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.
1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan the
paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.
3. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack as described above.
4. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.
The following images show examples of the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near
the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.
NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or
markings in the tray.

● Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.
● Use paper that has not previously been printed or copied on.
● Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides so they
are touching the paper stack without bending it.
● If you are printing on heavy, embossed, or perforated paper, use the manual feed feature and feed sheets
one at a time.
● Open the Trays menu on the printer control panel. Verify that the tray is configured correctly for the paper
type and size.
NOTE: Checking the paper and loading it into the tray correctly can help reduce paper jams. For additional help,
view a video demonstration of loading paper.

1. Look at the supplies status report to check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridge and, if
applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low
threshold, HP’s premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the
supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the word “HP” on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on
identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.

Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.
● Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
● Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids,
staples, and curled or bent edges.
● Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
● Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet
printers.
● Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:
● Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
● Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.
● Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides,
including the top.
● Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.
Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing
from specific trays.
