Loading media
Loading media in the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers and the HP LaserJet 1020 printer is simple and
straightforward.
This section describes loading bulk media to print.
Main input tray
The main input tray holds up to 150 sheets of 75-g/m
2
(20-lb) paper or a 25 mm (0.98 inch) stack of
heavier media. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams
and skew, always adjust the side and rear media guides.
Priority feed slot
Use the priority feed slot to feed a single sheet of a recommended media for manual feeding and special
operations. It can hold up to ten pages of 75-g/m
2
(20-lb) paper, but is best used for feeding one sheet
at a time of paper, heavier paper (163-g/m
2
[42-lb]), or card stock, or a single envelope or transparency.
Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skew, always
adjust the side media guides.
If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See
Jams
on page 42.
NOTE When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input
tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from
feeding through the printer at one time, and therefore reduces jams.
