software is installed for your use.
In order to use all of the features of your HP DeskJet 670C
Series printer, make sure it is selected as the default printer in
your Windows operating system. Because most software
programs supersede the settings in the Windows operating
system, be sure to also select the HP DeskJet 670C Series
printer as the default printer from within your software
programs. To set the default printer:
• For Windows 95, from the taskbar select

Your printer will print at different speeds, depending on the
complexity of the job and the print quality you have chosen. If
you have a lot of graphics, it‘ll take longer to print, and color
printing takes longer than black and white.
About Fonts
With your HP DeskJet 670C Series printer, you can print
TrueType fonts provided with other software programs or, when
using Adobe Type Manager, you can also print Type 1 fonts.
Click OK in the Print box of your software program to start
printing.

That’s all there is to it. The printer will print one page at a time
until it finishes, delivering each printed page neatly into the
printer’s upper (OUT) tray.
While You’re Printing
It takes a few moments for the printing to start, while the
printer gets information from the computer. During printing, the
printer might pause occasionally to receive more information.
(Don’t worry, it’s normal.)
If You Run Out of Paper Before You’re Finished
The printer will prompt you to add more paper. Put the paper in
the lower (IN) tray, and press the resume button.
Checking Printing Progress
Double-click the
HP Toolbox
of the screen in the taskbar (Windows 95) or on the desktop
(Windows 3.1) every time you start a print job. See “Where’s the
HP Toolbox?” on page 52.
The Printer Services tab on the HP Toolbox tells you which page
is printing.
The easiest way to save paper is to print on both sides of it. Just
put the paper through the printer twice: The first time through
it prints the odd-numbered pages and the second time through
it prints the even.
Put the paper in the lower (IN) tray.

this User’s Guide.
Your HP DeskJet 670C Series printer prints in color when a
color-capable software program is used with the printing
software. Your printer is especially smart about printing color.
(That’s why HP called the technology ColorSmart™!) When you
print a document in color, the printer marks each element in
your document — text and graphics (such as pie charts with
solid blocks of color) — and renders each at its vivid best.
To print in color, be sure you have created colored text or
pictures within your document, then turn on color printing in
your software program. Color printing is typically turned on in
your software program’s Print box. By default, the printer
software is set for color printing; however, you can print drafts
of your color documents in grayscale if you want to save time
and ink.
How to Turn Off Color
To economize on the use of the color print cartridge, print draft
copies of your color documents in grayscale. Grayscale printing
is significantly faster than color printing, and it gives you a good
approximation of your final output. To print in grayscale:
In the HP print settings box (see page 20), click the Setup tab,
then click Print in Grayscale.
Print in Grayscale
An “X” means that color is turned off
Updating the Printer Software
HP periodically provides updates of the printer software. These
updates may include enhancements that improve the
performance of your printer. See Contacting Customer Support on page 61 for how to obtain updated printer software.

ENVELOPES, TRANSPARENCIES,
AND LABELS
Determining the Print Side of Paper
Be sure to insert all paper, transparencies, cards, envelopes, and
Avery paper labels print side down into the IN tray of the
printer. For plain paper, the print side is identified by a symbol
or word on the packaging.
• For letterhead paper, load theletterhead side down and forward.
• For HP Premium Transparency Film, load the rough side down with the adhesive strip forward.
• For HP Premium InkJet Paper, load the print side down with
the corner arrow pointed forward.
• For HP Premium Glossy Paper, load the glossy side down.
• For Avery Paper Labels, load the label side down.

Be sure the settings in the software match the type of paper loaded in your printer.
• To obtain the best print quality and to avoid getting paper
jammed in the paper feed rollers of the printer, always use
paper, envelopes, index cards, postcards, Avery paper labels,
and transparency film that conform in weight, type, and size
with those listed in the Specifications on page 70.
• Load only one type of paper, envelope, or transparency at a time
in the IN tray, making sure the right edge of the stack is aligned
with the right edge of the IN tray.

• Always load index cards and postcards where the paper is
longer than wide when placed in the IN tray.
• When using the single envelope slot, always lower the card
guide in the IN tray, be sure that paper is loaded in the IN tray,
and be sure to push the envelope all the way into the slot.
• Only use Avery paper labels that are specifically designed for
use with HP InkJet printers. Do not use plastic or clear labels.
• Always use software settings that match the type and size of the
paper, envelopes, transparencies, or cards in the printer.
• Some types of paper, such as transparencies, glossy paper, and
coated cards, need longer drying times. The printer software
automatically provides the appropriate drying time for each
printed page based on the paper type, print quality, and inks
printed. To eliminate this drying time, select either the HP

Selecting and Storing Paper, Envelopes,
Cards, Labels, and Transparencies
N OTE
Always use paper, envelopes, index cards, post cards, and other paper stock that
conforms in weight, type, and size with that listed in the Specifications on page 70.
Selecting Paper
The HP DeskJet 670C Series printer prints on plain paper,
HP Premium Glossy Paper, HP Premium InkJet Paper, and
HP Premium Transparency Film. Most bond paper yields
excellent printing results and is appropriate for your letterhead
stationery.
Use these guidelines to select paper:
• Most papers have a side conditioned for printing and a side not
conditioned for printing. Before you purchase large quantities of
a paper, print on both sides of a few sheets of the paper to
determine if it produces acceptable quality printing on its
“print” side.
• Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or
curled or bent edges.
• Only load one type, size, and weight of paper in the printer at
one time.
• For color printing, most bond paper produces good results.
However, choose HP Premium InkJet Paper or HP Premium
Glossy Paper to produce intense, high quality color results.
Selecting Envelopes
• Print on a few envelopes before you purchase large quantities.
• Use high-quality envelopes that are thin and sharply creased.
• Do not use envelopes with thick or crooked edges, or envelopes
that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.
• Do not use envelopes that are shiny or embossed, or envelopes
with clasps or windows.
• To achieve best color print quality, use only the recommended
HP Premium Transparency film for printing transparency slides.
This transparency film was designed specifically for use with
your printer.
• Only use Avery paper labels that are specifically designed for
use with HP InkJet printers.
• Do not use plastic or clear labels. The ink formulated for use
with this printer does not dry when used with plastic or clear
labels.
• Do not use paper or Avery paper labels that are damaged,
folded, curled, or wrinkled.
• Do not use Avery paper labels that are over two years old.
• Do not print on partially used sheets of Avery paper labels.
• Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations, except HP
approved Avery paper labels.
• Do not use multiple-part forms.
• Do not use paper that is heavily textured or embossed.
Storing Paper, Envelopes, Cards, Labels, and
Transparencies
Store your paper in its packaging until you use it. Protect the
paper from temperature and humidity extremes by wrapping it
tightly in plastic.
Always store Avery paper labels flat in the original package to
avoid wrinkling or bending.
Use this procedure to print on standard size paper or
transparency film with your HP DeskJet 670C Series printer.
Paper and transparency sizes that are considered standard are:
U.S. Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and U.S. Legal (8.5 x 14 inches).
