different models but sensor in paper bin may be cause
check if the sensor or plastic flag part is broken on your model
also check no paper jams in paper path.

Your problem description is not clear, but based on experience I bet that your printer is taking three sheets of paper at a time. The pickup roller in tray 2 and the separation pad in the tray are probably worn out. They are easy enough to replace. You can verify that printer works properly by printing from manual feed tray and if that works ok then above solution is likely your fix.

Just check at upside where paper iscoming out after print, there you can see the two black flips to monitor the paper out position, this flag sensor got dusty this error apprears, remove back cover, you can observe left side this sensor, just clean it..

That sounds like to me that the pick up rollers are not pulling the paper. Replace the rollers.

Copied this from the specification on HP site.

It would appear not to take 5 x 7. It's the 7" is to small, 8.5 is the smallest.

2 reasons:
1. Was there a paper jam prior to this problem? It could be that the paper was pulled out and a small bit of it is stuck on the pins that guide the paper from the heat roller. If no torn jammed paper prior to this issue, then check out 2.

2. the heater/roller is damaged and needs to be replaced. I would suggest you take it to your nearest HP dealer to properly diagnose this for you.This would save you unnecessary cost in trying to pull it apart and causing more damage to it.

Good Luck,

Print 3 pages. Use the manual feed tray. As they print, open the cover, remove the toner and look down at the paper in the printer. Do you see marks along the edge? If no...replace the fuser. If yes...it could be the transfer roller.

This printer can
detect transparencies that were not designed for use with HP Color LaserJet printers.

Do a paper path test from each tray in diagnostics on the control paneland check Printer Properties for PAPER HANDLING

Yes

 

Set tray (3? ) or other non standard paper type trays to type setting of letterhead and set normal paper tray (2) paper type to plain .

 

You do this on printer keyboad find menu then find paper handling, tray xxx, paper type. xxxx...set or tick

 

Via operations panel you can also printout current settings too to see if you have done the change if you do one before and after

 

Then test,

 

There are other settings on your printer that can effect this and driver configuation and doc type setting on pc that can effect this also but try step above first and report back if still having issues. Is it run by a server? Do you abity to change driver settings on your pc?
