Paper Trays

IN Tray

To print, place paper or other media types in the IN tray. Pull out this tray for easy loading. Load media print side down. Slide all media as far as it will go into the IN tray. Once you insert the media you want to use, slide the paper guides so they rest snugly against the media. Make sure the IN tray is pushed back in.

OUT Tray

The printer sends finished pages to the OUT tray. The OUT tray can be up or down depending on what you’re printing.

Down – This is the typical position for most types of printing. The down position also allows single envelope printing. For information about printing on other media, see Chapter 2.

Up – The OUT tray must be in the up position to properly load HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, Glossy 4 x 6 in., 102 x 152 mm (with tear-off tab). To print banners, the OUT tray must remain in the up position.

Photo Tray

The HP DeskJet 950C uses HP’s exclusive PhotoREt technology to enhance your color photos, giving you exceptional quality pictures when you print on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, Glossy 4 x 6 in., 102 x 152 mm (with tear-off tab).

You can place up to 24 sheets of HP Photo Paper into the photo tray. The first time 4 x 6 in. photo paper is used, the printer will calibrate the Photo Tray by feeding through a blank sheet. You can save the blank sheet for future use. See pages 10 and 11 for specific instructions on printing photos.

When cleaning your printer, keep these tips in mind:

For information on cleaning print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle, see page 30.

Printing Basics

How to Print

The printer is controlled through a software program that you install on your computer. The software program provides a dialog box (like the one shown below) that you use to communicate with the printer. In the dialog box, you select settings such as paper size and type, orientation, and print quality.

Note: This information is for Windows 95, 98, and NT users. If you use

Getting the Right Paper

Most plain photocopy paper works fine in your printer, particularly paper that is marked for use in inkjet printers. To get the best results, use one of the HewlettPackard papers, which were developed especially for HP inks and your printer.

Size

. Paper width must be between 77 and 215 mm (3 and 8.5 inches). Paper length

must be between 127 and 356 mm (5 and 14 inches).

Weight. Paper comes in a multitude of different weights. For most of your printing

needs use 75–90 g/m

Brightness. Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more

vibrant colors. For photographs, you’ll want to use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper for the best results. For projects that use other colored images, HP Bright White Inkjet or HP Premium Inkjet paper work well.

For a complete list of available HP media, see “Supplies and Accessories” on page A- 6 of the Electronic Appendix in the electronic User’s Guide.
