If you're an HP printer user, you might have encountered some paper tray problems or paper jams at some point. One of the most common causes of these issues is the misalignment or improper installation of the N14 or N17 plate. But don't worry, with the help of this step-by-step guide, you'll be able to properly install this plate and avoid these frustrating problems in the future.

Firstly, it's important to note that the installation process is the same for HP 9018, 8022, 8025, and other similar models. To begin, remove the paper tray and locate the two springs holding the plate. You can use a dentist tool or a paperclip to remove the larger part first, then the springs.

In case you lose any of the springs, don't panic. You can easily find replacements on bchtechnology.com. Just search for "spring" in the printer parts section, and you'll find the right one for your HP printer model.

Next, let's focus on the N14 or N17 plate. This plate has a long groove and a tab and groove design. You need to insert the white part above the groove and bend the N14 or N17 plate to place it underneath the tab. Make sure the middle part of the plate is below the tab.

Now, flip the smaller part of the plate and place it on top of the groove. Repeat this step for the other side of the plate. Once you've installed the plate, don't forget to put the springs back in place.
