Cannot load paper from input tray

Cause: There is not enough paper in the input tray.
Solution: If the HP All-in-One is out of paper or there are only a few sheets
remaining, load more paper in the input tray. If there is paper in the input tray, remove
the paper, tap the stack of paper against a flat surface, and reload the paper into the
input tray. To continue your print job, press OK on the control panel of the HP All-in-
One.

Ink is drying

Cause: Transparencies and some other media require a drying time that is longer
than normal.

necessary to remove the printed sheet before the message disappears, carefully hold
the printed sheet on the underside or the edges, and place it on a flat surface to dry.
