Loading media
Loading media in the HP LaserJet 1022 series printers is simple and straightforward.
This section describes loading bulk media to print.
Main input tray
The main input tray holds up to 250 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
The priority feed slot is used to feed a single sheet of recommended media for manual feeding and
special operations. It can hold one page of 75-g/m
2
(20-lb) paper, but is best used to feed a single sheet
of heavy 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 on 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 the
user guide for more information. See
Jams on page 37.
NOTE When adding new media, make sure to 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.
