Print cartridges

Three print cartridges can be used with the printer.
1 Black print cartridge
2 Tri-color print cartridge
3 Photo 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.
For information on ordering print cartridges, see
For information about using the print cartridges, see the following topics:
Use print cartridges Replace print cartridges
Use print cartridges
The print cartridges can be used in the following ways:
Everyday printing: Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print jobs.
Quality color photos: 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.

Installation instructions.

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 cradle.
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.
16 Get started
To remove plastic tape from a print cartridge
Hold the print cartridge so that the copper strips are on the bottom and facing toward
the printer, and then carefully remove the plastic tape.
1 Remove plastic tape
CAUTION: Do not touch the print cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts.
Touching these parts will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections. Do not remove the copper strips. They are required electrical contacts.

HP Real Life Technologies photo fix

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.

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 printer software then uses this information to automatically perform image-specific 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, such as HP Photosmart Software
To print Exif Print-enhanced photos

The printer software automatically optimizes the printed image.

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.
Exif Print 25
Chapter 6
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 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.
NOTE: For higher-quality photos, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and set the
print quality to Best or Maximum dpi.
