Tips for using Web Services
Print with HP ePrint
HP’s free ePrint service provides an easy way to print from email. Just email a document or photo to the email
address assigned to your printer when you enable Web Services, and both the email message and recognized
attachments will print.
•Your printer needs to have a wireless network connection to the Internet. You won't be able to use ePrint via
a USB connection to a computer.
•Attachments might print differently from the way they appear in the software program that created them,
depending on the original fonts and layout options used.
•Free product updates are provided with ePrint. Some updates might be required to enable certain
functionality.
Your printer is protected
To help prevent unauthorized email, HP assigns a random email address to your printer, never publicizes this
address, and by default does not respond to any sender. ePrint also provides industry-standard spam filtering
and transforms email and attachments to a print-only format to reduce the threat of virus or other harmful content.
However, the ePrint service does not filter email based on content, so it cannot prevent objectionable or
copyrighted material from being printed.

Check the estimated ink levels
Touch the Ink Status icon at the top of the Home screen to display the estimated ink levels.
NOTE: 1 If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in
another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: 2 Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive
a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing
delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.
NOTE: 3 Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the
initialization process, which prepares the product and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which
keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it
is used. For more information, see
www.hp.com/go/inkusage.

Troubleshooting print carriage jams
The cartridge access door must be closed to begin printing. Check the printer and try printing again. If you are still
having a problem, an object may be blocking the print carriage and preventing it from moving.
If your printer is new, make sure you remove all of the packing material inside the carriage area. If your printer is
not new, check the carriage area for foreign objects that may have fallen into the printer, such as pet hair or
paper clips.
Try the following solutions to resolve the issue.
Solution 1: Make sure that the printer is turned on
1. Look at the Power button located on the printer. If it is not lit, the printer is turned off. Make sure the power
cord is firmly connected to the printer and plugged into a power outlet. Press the Power button to turn on the
printer.
2. Try using your printer again.
Solution 2: Unblock the print carriage
1. Make sure the printer is on.
CAUTION: Make sure the printer is on before disconnecting the power cord as described in step 2.
Failure to disconnect the power cord from the rear of the unit can cause damage when removing jammed
paper.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
3. If you're using a USB connection, disconnect the USB cable from the back of the printer.
4. Open the cartridge access door.

5. Remove any paper or object that might be restricting the print carriage. If the printer is new, remove any
packing material.
6. Reconnect only the power cord. If the printer does not turn on automatically, press the Power button.
NOTE: The printer might need to warm up for two minutes or less. Lights might flash, and the print
carriage might move during this time.
7. Use your hand to gently move the carriage all the way to the left and right to ensure the carriage moves
freely. If it does not move freely, paper or other objects may still be blocking the carriage movement. Continue
to clear the carriage area until the print carriage moves freely.
NOTE: Moving the print carriage will cause a Carriage Jam error to appear on the display. Press OK to
continue.
8. If you're using a USB connection, reconnect the USB cable.
9. Close the cartridge access door.
NOTE: You may have to press the Power button again to reset the printer.

enabled, the printer will automatically turn off after two hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto PowerOff is automatically disabled when the printer establishes a wireless connection with a network router or when
you enable alarms or calendar reminders. You can change the Auto Power-Off setting from the control panel.
Once you change the setting , the printer will maintain the setting that you choose. Auto Power-Off turns the
printer off completely, so you must use the power button to turn the printer back on.

2. Touch Preferences.
3. Scroll through the options, and then touch Set Auto-off.
4. Touch On or Off.
5. Touch Yes to confirm your selection or No to keep your current setting.
TIP: If you are printing through a wireless connection over a network, Auto Power-Off should be disabled to
ensure that print jobs do not get lost. Even when Auto Power-Off is disabled, the user-adjustable Energy
Saver Mode helps reduce energy use.
