Tips for loading paper
l The default size of Tray 1 and Tray 2 is 8.5 by 14 in (215.9 by 355.6
mm). When you want to print on media smaller than this, you need
to adjust the paper width and paper length guides in the tray before
you load the media.
l You can extend Tray 1 and Tray 2 to accommodate A3, 11 by 17 in,
and 13 by 19 in/A3+ media.
l Insert media vertically (portrait orientation). If you want to print
horizontally (landscape orientation), make the selection through
your software.
l To prevent multiple picks and paper jams, load only one type of
media at a time into a paper path. Also, when adding media, always
remove the existing media and realign it with the new media before
loading.
To load Tray 1 or Tray 2
1 To load Tray 1, lift the output tray. You can either load media with
Tray 1 in place, or pull Tray 1 out of the printer to load the media.
To load Tray 2, remove the tray completely by grasping the handle
under the front of the tray and pulling the tray towards you.
2 Pinch and slide the paper length guide and paper width guide to
their outermost positions.
3 If you are loading paper larger than legal size, follow these steps to
extend the tray:
a Locate the tray extension lock on the front left part of the tray.
b Slide it to the left, and then release it.
c Pull the tray out lengthwise until it clicks into place. This extends
the tray to support media up to 13 by 19 in/A3+ in size.
ENWW 2-11
4 For Tray 1, place up to 150 sheets of paper or 30 transparencies
(up to .58 in or 15 mm thick) into the tray. For Tray 2, remove the
cover and place up to 250 sheets of paper (up to .98 in or 25 mm
thick) into the tray. Do not overload the tray.
5 Pinch and slide the paper length guide and paper width guide until
they fit snugly against the media.
6 If you removed Tray 1, reinsert it. Lower the output tray to its
original position.
If you removed Tray 2, replace the cover, then align it with the
opening in the printer and slide it back into place.
To retract the tray after extending it, slide the tray extension lock to the
left, and then release it. Push the tray inward until it clicks.
To load the front manual feed
1 Slide the paper width guide on the output tray to its outermost
position.
2 Insert up to 10 sheets of paper or 3 transparencies along the right
side of the front manual feed, print side down. Push the media in
until it reaches the maximum depth.
3 Slide the paper width guide to fit snugly against the media.
Step 9: Install the printer software
After you have set up the printer, you can install the printer software.
HP recommends that you install the printer software from the starter CD
before you connect the interface cable.
For more information about software installation, see “Installing printer
software.”
Step 10: Connect the interface cable
For Windows
If your computer has a USB port and is using Microsoft® Windows®98,
Windows Me, or Windows 2000, you can connect the printer to the
computer using a USB cable.
If your computer is using Windows 95 or Windows NT®version 4.0 or if
your personal computer is not configured to use USB, you can connect
the printer to your computer with a parallel cable.
2-12 ENWW
For Macintos h
If your computer has a USB port and is using Mac OS 8.6 or later, you
can connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable. If your
computer does not have a USB port, you can connect the printer to the
computer using an LIO module.
Setting the LCD language

printer to display messages in another supported language. You can
set the LCD language from the Toolbox or from the LCD panel.
To set the LCD language
1 Ensure that the printer is turned off. (Press the POWER button to
turn off the printer.)
2 Hold down the CANCEL button and press the POWER button to
turn on the printer in a language-setting mode.
When the printer turns on, the LCD displays the current language.
3 Press the CANCEL button to scroll through the language list.
4 When you see the language you want to use, press the RESUME
button to confirm the language selection.
After you select a language, the language-setting mode ends, and the

printer software from the Internet at http://www.hp.com/support/cp1700
You can also download any updates to the printer software from this
website.
For information about using the printer driver or changing the printer
driver settings, see “Printer settings.”
