Travel tips

The following tips will help you prepare for traveling with your device:

• If you are bringing an extra black or photo print cartridge, follow these guidelines: For a partially used black print cartridge or a partially used or full photo print cartridge, store it in the travel holder to prevent ink leakage (see

supplies). A newly opened black print cartridge will leak slightly at high altitudes

(such as in airplanes). To avoid this, wait to install new black cartridges until you reach your destination. Until then, keep them in their original, taped packaging.

• You can bring the device in a carrying case. For more information, see

supplies and accessories. The carrying case has compartments for both your

notebook and the device. The compartments also detach if you want to carry the notebook and device separately.

•

Turn off the device using return to the home position at the left side of the device and lock in place.

(See Replace the ink service module.)

Store printing

(Power button). This ensures that the print cartridges

WARNING! To help prevent damaging the device, wait until all lights have turned off completely before removing the battery or power cord. This process might take approximately 16 seconds.

• Disconnect the device cable and power adapter from the device. Slide down the input tray extension and close the input tray.

• If you are traveling to another country/region, bring the necessary plug adapter with you.

• If you need to buy print cartridges while traveling to another country/region, see the online help called “Traveling with your HP Mobile Printer” for regional cartridge compatibility information. This help is available through the Toolbox (Windows), HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), or Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS).

Travel tips

Chapter 1

• Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the device. Do not use any other voltage transformer or converter. The power adapter can be used with AC power sources of 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz.

• Remove the battery if you will not be using the device for more than a month.

• When traveling with photo paper, pack it flat so it doesn't warp or curl. Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag on a table edge until the paper is flat.

Important notes

Take note of the following when charging or using the battery:

• Charge the battery for 4 hours before using the battery for the first time. For subsequent charges, it takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

• The battery charge light is green when the battery is charging. If it is red, the battery might be faulty and need to be replaced.

• The Power light is green when the battery is 41-100% charged, amber when 10-40% charged, and red when less than 10% charged. Charge the battery when the Power light turns amber. If it turns red, charge the battery as soon as possible. The battery status is also displayed on the Printer Status tab in the Toolbox (Windows) and the Power Management panel in the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS). If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can use the Toolbox software for PDAs. For more information, see

Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and

Palm OS).

• If your battery is running low, either plug in the AC adapter to charge it or replace the battery with one that is charged.

• A fully charged battery can print up to approximately 450 pages, depending on the complexity of print jobs.

• By default, if the device is using battery power and left idle for 15 minutes, it will turn off to conserve the battery power. You can configure this feature in the Toolbox (Windows), the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), or the Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS). For more information, see

Toolbox software for

PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS).

• Prior to long-term storage, fully charge the battery. Do not leave the battery in a discharged (empty) state for more than 6 months.

• To maximize battery life and capacity, observe the following temperature guidelines:

ƕ Charging: 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F) ƕ Using and storing: -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F)

About 802.11

802.11 wireless technology allows you to wirelessly connect to your device by setting

up “ad hoc” communication between your computer and the device. 802.11 does not require a direct line of sight between the sending device and the receiving device.

When you set up ad hoc communication between your computer and the device, you are creating a network of two devices. This is the recommended setup for 802.11 printing to this mobile printer.

802.11 also lets you set up the device on an existing “infrastructure” network. Setting it

up on an infrastructure network puts the device directly onto a local area network (LAN) using a wireless connection to an 802.11 wireless access point (WAP). Once the device is successfully connected to the network wirelessly, then all the computers on the same subnet can use the device.

Before setting up the device, it is recommended that you temporarily connect the device to the computer with a USB cable to set up the wireless connection. Once the wireless connection is established, you will remove the cable and print wirelessly. You can also set up the device without using a USB cable.

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to wirelessly connect to your device using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Bluetooth is typically used for short distances (up to 10 meters or 30 feet) and does not require a direct line of sight between the sending device and the receiving device.

Different Bluetooth profiles emulate different types of standard cable connections and have different capabilities. For more information about Bluetooth profiles, see

Configure Bluetooth wireless settings.

When your device is directly connected to your computer (either by cable or Bluetooth), it is possible to share it on a network using “printer sharing”. However, your computer has to be connected to the network for others to use the device.

To set up and configure the device for Bluetooth wireless printing, see

Bluetooth

wireless connection.

NOTE: To configure Bluetooth settings or monitor device status (such as ink levels) using the Toolbox, you must connect the device to your computer with a USB cable.

Tips for selecting and using print media

For the best results, observe the following guidelines.

• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see

• Load only one type of media at a time.

• On models that have an input tray extension, make sure the input tray extension is fully extended.

• Load media print-side up and aligned squarely against the alignment guides. For more information on loading media, see

• Do not overload the trays. For more information, see

• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following media:

ƕ Multipart forms ƕ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled ƕ Media with cutouts or perforations

Chapter 3

ƕ Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well ƕ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily

• Do not leave media in the input tray overnight. This might cause it to bend.

• Remove each sheet of media as it prints and set aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up might cause smearing.

• For instructions on calibrating color, see

Calibrate color.

Cards and envelopes

• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.

• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.

• Always load envelopes into the printer with the flap facing the back of the printer and the stamp position oriented according to the envelope icon.

Photo media

•Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer and more memory is required from your computer.

• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.

• Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in a resealable plastic bag, and roll them into a tube. Roll the sheets so the curve of the tube is in the opposite direction of the original curl of the paper. Roll the tube no smaller than a

1.5 inch (4 cm) in diameter.

20 Use the device

Transparencies

• Insert transparencies with the rough side up and the adhesive strip pointing down.

•Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the output tray.

• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.

Custom-sized media

• Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.

• If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized media.
