Hi @Cardo-123,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Check for Paper Jam
- Turn off the printer and unplug it.
- Open the front cover and remove any jammed paper you see.
- Check the rear access door and remove any stuck paper.
Examine Paper Tray and Feed Rollers
- Remove the paper from the tray and inspect it for any damages or obstructions.
- Check the feed rollers for dust or debris. Clean them if necessary using a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
Use Compatible Paper Type
- Ensure the paper type and size matches the printer's specifications.
- Fan the paper before placing it in the tray to avoid multiple sheets feeding at once.
Reload Paper and Reset Printer
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Remove all paper from the input tray.
- Reconnect the printer and turn it on.
- Reload paper correctly into the tray.
