The product does not pick up paper
If the product does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1. Open the product and remove any jammed sheets of paper.
2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for your job.

4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray.

with warm water.

If the product picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.
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.
2. Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this product.
3. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.
4. Make sure the tray is not overfilled. If it is, remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten
the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.
5. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray.

● The original might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes, that must be removed.
● Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller-access cover inside the document feeder is closed.
● Make sure that the top document-feeder cover is closed.
● The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the
stack.
● The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work correctly. Make sure that the
paper stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.
