      caution:
    Make sure that the HP product is idle and silent when loading paper into the main input tray.

If the paper is too far forward, the HP product might eject blank pages.
  4. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
    note:
    Do not overload the input tray. Make sure the stack of paper fits within the input tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.

Step five: Install the cartridges

      caution:
    The product must be on to release the cartridges. Trying to remove the cartridges while the product is off might damage the product.
