Using Your Printer

Buttons and Lights

The buttons on the front of your HP DeskJet printer enable you to turn the printer on and off, cancel a print job, or resume printing. The lights provide you with visual cues about the state of your printer. The buttons and lights from left to right are:

Cancel Button – Press this button to

cancel the current print job.

Print Cartridge Status Light – When lit, the light above this symbol indicates that you need to check the status of your print cartridges. See “Print Cartridge Status” on page 29.

Resume Button and Light – Whenever the light above the Resume Button flashes, press the Resume Button to continue printing.

Warning

Power Button and Light – Use the Power Button to turn the printer on and off. The green light above the Power Button flashes when the printer is processing information.

Use only the Power Button on the front of the printer to turn the printer on and off. Using a power strip, surge protector, or a wall-mounted switch to turn the printer on and off may cause premature printer failure.

Using Your Printer

Paper Trays

IN Tray

You place paper and other media types for printing in the IN tray. Pull out this tray for easy loading. Once you insert the media you want to use, slide the paper guides so they rest snugly against the media. Be sure to slide all media as far as it will go into the IN tray.

OUT Tray

The printer sends its completed pages to the OUT tray. The OUT tray has two different positions.

Using Your Printer

Automatic Two-Sided Printing

The Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module is a special hardware and software feature that enables your printer to automatically print on both sides of the page.

Installing the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module

Turn the knob on the printer’s Rear Access Door counter-clockwise, and remove the door.

Press the button on each side of the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module, and

insert the module into the back of the printer.

Release the buttons.

Using Your Printer

Printing with the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module

Load appropriate paper.

Note: Not all paper types or sizes work with the Automatic Two-Sided

Printing Module. You can print on plain paper, HP Bright White Inkjet Paper, HP Premium Inkjet Heavyweight Paper, HP Felt-textured Greeting Card Paper, and HP Professional Brochure Paper, Glossy or Matte. Not all paper sizes can be used with the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module.

Note: After one side of the page is printed on, the paper will be held while

the ink dries. Once the ink is dry, the paper is pulled back in, and the reverse side is printed. As each page is finished, the page will drop into the OUT tray.

Note: If you have problems with Two-Sided Printing, see pages 39–40.

Basic Printer Maintenance

Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear on the printer case. Follow the cleaning instructions provided here.

•

Do not

clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior.

Using Your Printer

•

To remove stains, smudges and/or dried ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use household cleaners or detergent. In the event that a household cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe the printer’s exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with water.

•

Do not lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradles move. Noise is normal when the cradles move back and forth.

For information on cleaning print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle, see “Cleaning Print Cartridges” on page 33.

Caution

Printer Software

For maximum performance and reliability, the printer should be handled and stored in an upright, level position.

Use your printer software to control how and what you print. Print quality, paper size and type, and Two-Sided Printing are just a few of the options available to you in the HP Printer Properties dialog box.

Note: If you are printing from Windows 3.1x or DOS, see page 59.
