Print cartridges
Two print cartridges can be used with the printer.

2 Tri-color print cartridge
NOTE: Your printer might be packaged with only a tri-color print cartridge. For better
results, install a black print cartridge in addition to the tri-color print cartridge. You can
print without a black print cartridge but doing so can cause the printer to print more
slowly and printed colors to differ from those you would see if a black print cartridge
and a tri-color print cartridge were installed.

Ink-backup mode
In the ink-backup mode, the printer operates with only one print cartridge. The ink-backup
mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge carriage.
NOTE: When the printer operates in ink-backup mode, a message is displayed on
screen. If the message is displayed and two print cartridges are installed in the printer,
verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from each print
cartridge. When plastic tape covers the print cartridge contacts, the printer cannot
detect that the print cartridge is installed.

HP Real Life Technologies enhance the quality of your printed photos.
In most cases, you do not need to change the Basic default print setting. The Basic setting
sharpens the images that you print, and improves the quality and clarity of low resolution
images, such as those downloaded from the Internet.
You can change the setting to Full if the images that you print are under exposed or over
exposed, contain dark areas or red eye, or have colors that appear washed out.
You can also select the Off setting if you prefer to edit the image manually in a software
program such as HP Photosmart Software.

Store and handle photo paper
Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of HP brand photo paper.
Storage
• Keep unused photo paper in a sealed plastic bag. Store the packaged photo paper
on a flat surface in a cool place.
• When you are ready to print, remove only the paper that you plan to use immediately
from the plastic bag. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper
to the plastic bag.
• Do not leave unused photo paper in the paper tray. The paper might start to curl,
which can reduce the quality of your photos.
Handling
• Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print
quality.
• If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (0.4 inch), flatten the paper
by putting it in the storage bag, and then gently bending it in the opposite direction of
the curl until the paper lies flat.
Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
Save money and ink when printing photos
To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper and set the
print quality to Normal.
