Solution two: Check the condition of the paper, and then reload it
Paper feed issues might result from dusty, torn, wrinkled, wet, or folded paper in the tray. The quality of the paper can also make a difference. Use only good quality paper that meets product specifications. Follow these steps to check the condition of the paper.
note:For the purposes of these troubleshooting steps, use only 10 to 25 sheets of plain white, unused paper.
Step 1: Check the condition of the paper
-
Remove the stack of paper from the tray.
-
Check for obstructions inside the tray. Use a flashlight to view the mechanism inside the tray to make sure that nothing blocks the paper from engaging with the rollers. Even small pieces of paper can cause paper feed issues.
note:
If you find obstructions in the paper path, skip to the section on cleaning the rollers.
-
Examine the condition of the paper, and then replace any ripped, dusty, curled, wrinkled, or bent paper.
-
Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type. Never load mixed types of paper in the tray. The product can only process one type of paper at a time.
-
Tap the stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges.
-
Make sure that the stack of paper contains no fewer than 10 sheets and no more than 25 sheets of paper.
note:
You need to use 10 to 25 sheets of paper only for purposes of these troubleshooting steps. When the issue is resolved, you can resume loading paper according to the paper tray capacity specifications for your product.
Step 2: Reload the paper
-
Slide the paper width guide to its outermost position.
-
Load a stack of 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 in) plain paper into the paper tray, print-side down. Slide the stack of paper in until it stops.
-
Slide the paper width guide snugly against the paper.

-
Dampen a long cotton swab with bottled or distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the swab.

Press the swab against the rollers and rotate them upward with your fingers. Apply a moderate amount of pressure to remove dust or dirt buildup.

Solution six: Service the All-in-One
If the product printed a self-test report with plain white paper, the printer is functional and does not need to be replaced. Other issues, such as connectivity, print driver settings, special paper, photo paper facing shiny side up, or slick or damaged paper might cause the problem. Review the following sections to learn about the common causes and how to prevent the issue.
Service or replace your HP product if the issue persists after completing all the preceding steps.
Go to Contact HP Customer Support to schedule a product repair or replacement. If you are in Asia Pacific, you will be directed to a local service center in your area.
To confirm your warranty status, go to HP Product Warranty Check. Repair fees might apply for out-of-warranty products.
IMPORTANT: Only service the product if you have already tried all of the previous solutions and the product will not print a self-test page on plain white paper.
Prevent paper feed issues
Follow these guidelines to help prevent paper feed issues:
-
Load at least 10 sheets of paper into the tray, but do not overload the tray.

Load paper correctly, and then push the paper all the way into the tray.
-
Use only one type of paper at a time in the tray.
-
Store paper in a cool, dry place.

-
Reload paper that has been in the photo tray for a time. Avoid printing on paper that is dusty.

The paper might not be engaged with the feed rollers.

The paper-width guide is pressed against the paper stack too tightly.
