Final thoughts
In order to install paper in a HP printer, you will need to locate the printer’s paper tray. The tray is usually found along the bottom of the printer and has a small notch on the face of it that can be pulled out in order to insert the paper.
The tray also has a guide that can be adjusted to fit your preferred paper size.
Keep in mind the printer’s recommended paper capacity when loading it with paper – an overstuffed tray can lead to jams. Close up the tray and start printing when you have adjusted the guide to the appropriate length.
If you’re not sure about the printer’s paper capacity, you can always check the manufacturer’s website.
