Paper was added to a stack already in the tray while the HP product was printing.
The tray contains more than one type of paper.
The paper is jammed inside the HP product where you cannot see it.
An obstruction is blocking the paper path.
Torn pieces of paper from a previous jam are stuck in the product.
The tray is too full.
If printing on an envelope, the edges of the envelope are bent.
Step one: Remove any loose paper

| CAUTION:
|
Do not touch the cartridge contacts or nozzles. |

Workaround: Print in ink-backup mode (single-cartridge mode)
You can print with only one cartridge installed (ink-backup mode, also called single-cartridge mode). The
ink-backup mode is initiated when a cartridge is removed from the carriage. During ink-backup mode, the printer can only print jobs from the computer.
You cannot initiate a print job from the control panel (such as copying or scanning an
original).
The printer prints more slowly in this mode, and printouts might be of lesser quality. If you print with only the black cartridge, no color will print. If you print with only the color cartridge, no black ink will print.
|
NOTE:
|
When the printer operates in ink-backup mode, a message is
displayed on the computer screen. If the message is displayed and two cartridges are installed
in the printer, make sure that the protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from
each cartridge. When plastic tape covers the cartridge electrical contacts, the printer
cannot detect that the cartridge is installed. |
