For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or other special documents,
remove the black print cartridge and install a photo print cartridge. The photo print
cartridge, in combination with the tri-color print cartridge, provides you with virtually
grain-free photos.
Replacing print cartridges
When buying print cartridges, look for the print cartridge selection number.
You can find the selection number in three places:
● Selection number label: Look at the label on the print cartridge that you are
replacing.
1 Selection number label
● Printer documentation: For a list of print cartridge selection numbers, see the
reference guide that came with the printer.
● Print Cartridge Ordering Information dialog box: For a list of print cartridge selection
numbers, open the printer Toolbox, click the Estimated Ink Level tab, and then
click the Print Cartridge Ordering Information button.
If a print cartridge runs out of ink, the printer can operate in ink-backup mode.
For information about installing a replacement print cartridge, see the print cartridge
installation page.

For instructions about installing a print cartridge, see the print cartridge installation
page.
Automatic Paper-Type Sensor
The Automatic Paper-Type Sensor automatically selects the print settings that are
appropriate for the media that is being printed on, particularly when HP paper and
media are being used.
For more information, see How the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor works.
How the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor works
When the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor is engaged, the printer uses a red optical
sensor light to scan the first page of a document and determine the best paper-type
setting. After the paper-type setting is determined, the document is printed.
For more information, see Using the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor.
Caution Do not place the printer in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can interfere
with the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor.

Exif Print
Exif Print (Exchangeable Image File Format 2.2) is an international digital imaging
standard that simplifies digital photography and enhances printed photos. When a photo
is taken with an Exif Print-enabled digital camera, Exif Print captures information such
as exposure time, type of flash, and color saturation, and stores it in the image file. The
HP Deskjet printer software then uses this information to automatically perform imagespecific enhancements to create outstanding photos.
To print Exif Print-enhanced photos, you must have the following items:
● A digital camera that supports Exif Print
● Exif Print-enabled photo software
Follow these steps to print Exif Print-enhanced photos:
1 Open the file that you want the Exif Print-enabled photo software to print.
2 Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
3 Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4 Click the appropriate photo paper type in the Type is drop-down list.
5 Click Normal, Best, or Maximum dpi in the Print quality drop-down list.
6 Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.
The printer software automatically optimizes the printed image.
Storing and handling photo paper
Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of HP brand photo paper.
Storage
● Keep unused photo paper in a 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 the opposite direction of
the curl until the paper lies flat.
Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
Saving money when printing photos
To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper and set
the print quality to Normal.
HP Everyday Photo Paper is designed to create quality photos with less ink.
24 HP Deskjet 5700 Series
Note For higher-quality photos, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and set the print
quality to Best or Maximum dpi.
