try reducing the number of sheets in the main tray to 20 sheets, or use the
specialty media tray to print on one sheet at a time.
● Remove the main tray from the printer and check that the paper stack is lying
flat in the tray, and has not been pushed up over the paper stops. When you
replace the tray, be sure to push the tray into the printer until it is seated
correctly.
● There might be too much paper loaded in the tray. Check that the paper is not
stacked above the height of the paper-length guide. If it is, remove some paper
and try printing again.
● The paper guides might not be adjusted correctly. Make sure the paper-width
and paper-length guides fit close to the edges of the paper without bending the
paper.
● Two or more pieces of paper might be sticking together. Remove the paper from
the main tray, fan the edges of the stack to separate the sheets of paper, and
then reload the paper and try printing again.
● If the paper is wrinkled or bent, try using different paper.
● The paper might be too thin or too thick. Use HP inkjet paper for best results.
