Print directly onto a CD/DVD

English

In addition to printing on paper, the HP Photosmart enables you to print directly on the surface of specially coated CDs and DVDs for print jobs started from a connected computer. You can design and create a custom label for your CD or DVD using the software that came with the HP Photosmart. You can then print the label on your printable CD or DVD media.

TIP: It is recommended that you write your data to the CD or DVD before printing

the label on it.

NOTE: The HP Photosmart does not support a CD/DVD print job started from the

control panel. You must use the software that came with the HP Photosmart to print on a CD/DVD. For more information, see the software help.

To print directly onto a CD/DVD

1. Use the software that came with the product to create and print a CD/DVD label.

2. If the product is placed close to a wall, move it at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) away from

the wall.

3. Carefully remove the CD/DVD holder from the storage area below the main input tray.

English

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.

• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.

• Prevent curled or wrinkled photo paper by storing all unused photo paper flat in a

resealable bag.

• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

• If you are printing labels, ensure that the label sheets are no more than two years old.

Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the product, and cause paper jams.

• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack

of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.

• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure

the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.

• Use paper types that are recommended for the product.

CD/DVD print troubleshooting 17

English

Chapter 2

Cause: You did not push the CD/DVD holder far enough into the CD/DVD tray. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Remove the CD/DVD holder from the storage area

Solution: Remove the CD/DVD holder from the storage area below the main input tray. Lower

the CD/DVD tray (located below the control panel).

Make sure you loaded a printable disc onto the CD/DVD holder with the printable side up. Push the CD/DVD holder forward into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray. The end of the holder marked with arrows goes into the CD/DVD tray first. Cause: You inserted the CD/DVD holder back into the storage area.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Place the CD/DVD on the CD/DVD holder

Solution: Remove the CD/DVD holder from the storage area below the main input tray.

Remove the printable disc from the CD/DVD tray and load it onto the CD/DVD holder with the printable side up. Push the holder forward into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray. The end of the holder marked with arrows goes into the CD/ DVD tray first.

Cause: You inserted the disc directly into the CD/DVD tray without placing it on the CD/DVD holder.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

18 HP Photosmart D7500 series

Solution 4: Load the next disc on the CD/DVD holder

Solution: Remove the CD/DVD holder from the CD/DVD tray. Remove the printed CD/DVD

from the holder. Load the next disc onto the CD/DVD holder with the printable side up and reinsert the holder into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray. When the product detects the holder, the prompt disappears. Cause: The product prompted you to insert the next disc when printing multiple CD/DVDs in a print job.

The product does not detect a CD/DVD on the holder

Solution: Remove the CD/DVD holder from the CD/DVD tray. Load a printable disc onto the

CD/DVD holder with the printable side up and reinsert the holder into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray. Cause: You inserted the CD/DVD holder into the CD/DVD tray without loading a CD/DVD onto the holder.

The product stalled while printing a CD/DVD

Solution: Ensure that there is at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) of space behind the product. Also,

make sure that the slot on the back of the product is not blocked. Cause: The product pulled the CD/DVD holder while printing on the CD/DVD. The holder can

protrude about 7.5 cm (3 inches) from the back of the product. If there is not sufficient space behind the product, the holder stops and printing stalls.

The image on my printed disc is cropped and there is ink on the CD/DVD holder

Solution: If you are loading a regular-size (120 mm) CD/DVD onto the CD/DVD holder to be

printed, do not flip the blue ring over the disc. The blue ring should only be used if you are printing on a small-size (80 mm) CD/DVD. Before trying again, clean the CD/DVD holder to remove ink from the holder. This avoids ink contamination within the product, as well as protects your discs, hands, and clothing from stains later. After the CD/DVD holder is clean and dry, load a new printable disc onto the holder with the printable side up. Leave the blue ring in its original location on the opposite side of the holder from your disc, as shown below. Reinsert the holder into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray and try your print again.

English

Cause: You loaded the CD/DVD onto the CD/DVD holder incorrectly.

The product is printing on a non-printable area of my disc

Solution 1: Change the software settings

Solution: Make sure the design you are printing is appropriate for the size of the media loaded

in the CD/DVD holder, including the diameter of the inner and outer rings. Change the software settings accordingly to center and size your design for the disc you are using. Refer to the documentation or the online help of the software you are using for additional information. Cause: Your design was not the correct size for the CD/DVD you loaded.

CD/DVD print troubleshooting 19

Chapter 2

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Load a new CD/DVD with the printable side up

Solution: If you have already burned your content onto the CD/DVD, you might need to burn

your contents again onto a new disc. Load the new disc onto the CD/DVD holder with the printable side up. Reinsert the holder into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray and try your print again.

Cause: You loaded the CD/DVD upside down on the holder.

English

The design is not centered on my disc

Solution: Change the software settings to center and size your design for the disc you are

using. Refer to the documentation or the online help of the software you are using for additional information.

Cause: Your design settings were not correct.

The ink on the CD/DVD is not drying

Solution 1: Use inkjet printable discs

Solution: Make sure that the CD/DVD you use is compatible for inkjet printing. Inkjet printable

discs normally have a white printing surface. (Some discs also have a silver printing surface.) Cause: The surface of the disc was not compatible for printing. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Load a new CD/DVD with the printable side up

Solution: If you have already burned your content onto the CD/DVD, you might need to burn

Cause: You loaded the CD/DVD upside down on the holder.

The product reports a CD/DVD size mismatch error

Solution: Cancel the print job and replace the CD/DVD currently loaded on the CD/DVD

holder with a CD/DVD that is the same size as specified in the print job, or change the print settings in the software. Cause: The size of the CD/DVD currently loaded on the CD/DVD holder did not match the size you specified when you started the print job from the computer.

The CD/DVD holder is stuck in the storage area

Solution: Pull the CD/DVD holder out as far as possible, until you feel resistance. Then, insert

a flat blunt object (such as a butter knife or screwdriver) into the left corner of the storage slot and push down on the blue ring.

Information on ink cartridges and the printhead

The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.

• Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.

• Turn off the product by pressing the On button. Do not turn off the product by turning off a power

strip or unplugging the power cord. If you improperly turn off the product, the printhead assembly might not return to the correct position.

• Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F).

• HP recommends that you do not remove the ink cartridges from the product until you have

replacement cartridges available to install.

• If you are transporting the product make sure you turn it off by pressing the On button to power

it down properly. Also, make sure you leave the ink cartridges installed. Doing these actions will prevent ink leaking from the printhead assembly.

• Clean the printhead when you notice a significant decrease in print quality.

• Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

• Handle ink cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause

temporary printing problems.
