Loading paper into your HP Envy Pro 6452 printer is a simple but crucial task that ensures seamless printing. Follow this step-by-step guide to master the process and keep your printer running smoothly.
Materials You’ll Need
- HP Envy Pro 6452 printer
- Paper (plain, photo, or specialty)
Step 1: Open the Input Tray
Locate the input tray at the front of the printer. Gently pull it down until it clicks into place.
Step 2: Adjust the Paper Guides
Inside the input tray, you’ll find adjustable paper guides. Slide them inwards to align with the edges of the paper stack. Ensure there’s no space between the guides and the paper.
Step 3: Load the Paper
Take a stack of paper and align the edges. Gently insert the stack into the input tray, facing the print side up. Push the paper down until it reaches the bottom of the tray.
Step 4: Check the Paper Level Indicator
The input tray has a paper level indicator that shows how much paper is loaded. Make sure the indicator is at or below the recommended level.
Step 5: Close the Input Tray
Once the paper is loaded, gently push the input tray back into the printer until it clicks into place.
Step 6: Adjust the Paper Size
If you’re using a non-standard paper size, you’ll need to adjust the printer settings. Go to the printer’s control panel, select “Paper Size,” and choose the appropriate size.
Step 7: Print a Test Page
To ensure the printer is properly loaded with paper, print a test page. Go to the printer’s control panel, select “Setup,” then “Reports,” and finally “Print Test Page.” The printer will print a test page to confirm that it’s working correctly.
