Solved: Paper tray of color laserjet does not go in - HP Support Community

bbwoods · ‎04-09-2023

Just the simple added paper to the paper tray. Now I can't get the tray back in. It stops about a 1/4" from being inserted. Tried fiddling with the various blue paper size tabs, nothing works. I don't see anything in the back that keeps it from going in.

You have accidently set the paper tray in legal mode. There is a lever on the right front of the tray you need to push that level and shrink the tray back.

Yes, thank you. I figured that out. Design flaw, in my opinion.

This is not a paper feed problem. And problem is solved. Thanks anyway.
