Paper tray on HP 8720

[GM631]

I removed the paper tray on my HP 8720 for fix a paper jam. For some reason, I cannot get it to go back into the the printer. It seems to be striking something on the side. Any suggestions?

Hi @GM631,

I'd like to help!

Try the below suggestions -

1. Pull out the input tray.

2. Slide out the paper-width and paper-length guides as far as possible.

3. Make sure the platen is in place by pressing down on the front of the input tray.

4. Grasp a stack of plain white paper with both hands, and then tap the edges against a flat surface so all of the pages align.

5. Load the stack of paper into the input tray, and then push the stack into the tray until it stops.

6. Make sure the stack of paper is aligned with the appropriate paper size lines on the bottom of the input tray. Do not load more than 250 sheets of paper or exceed maximum stack height.

      CAUTION: 

   Do not load paper while the printer is printing.

7. Slide in the paper-width and paper-length guides until they rest against the edges of the paper.

   Do not push in the guides so tightly that they bind against the paper.

8. Insert the input tray into the printer.

NOTE: 

After loading paper, make sure to select the correct paper size and paper type settings when printing or copying
