Getting ready to print

Before you can begin printing, there are three easy procedures you need to become familiar with:
Loading paper (see Loading paper)
Inserting print cartridges (see Inserting print cartridges)
Inserting a memory card (see Inserting memory cards)
You must load paper and insert a print cartridge before inserting a memory card.

Loading paper

Learn how to choose the right paper for your print job and how to load it into the In tray for printing.

Choosing the right paper

For a list of available HP-designed inkjet paper, or to purchase supplies, go to:
www.hpshopping.com (U.S.)
www.hp.com/go/supplies (Europe)
www.hp.com/jp/supply_inkjet (Japan)
www.hp.com/paper (Asia/Pacific)
To get the best results from the printer, choose from these high-quality HP photo papers.
To print
High-quality, long-lasting prints and enlargements
Medium-to-high-resolution images from scanners and digital cameras
Casual and business photos HP photo paper
To keep your paper in good condition for printing:
Store unused paper in its original package.
Keep the paper flat in a cool, dry place. If the corners curl, place the paper in a
plastic bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction until it lies flat.
Hold photo paper by the edges to avoid smears.

Loading your paper

Paper loading tips:
You can print photos on photo paper, index cards, L-size cards, or Hagaki cards.
Before loading paper, slide out the paper-width guide to make room for the paper.
Load only one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or sizes in
the In tray.
Paper type
10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
Index cards L-size cards Hagaki cards
How to load
1 Open the In tray and
pull out the In tray extender.
2 Load up to 20 sheets
of paper with the print side or glossy side facing towards you. If you are using tabbed paper, insert it so the tabbed end feeds in last.
3 Adjust the paper-
width guide to fit close to the edge of the paper without bending the paper.
4 Open the Out tray to
prepare for printing.

Inserting print cartridges

Your HP Photosmart 320 series printer can print color and black-and-white photos. HP provides different types of print cartridges so you can choose the best cartridge for your project. The cartridge number varies by country/region. Choose the correct cartridge number for your country/region.
For optimum printing results, HP recommends using only HP print cartridges. Inserting a cartridge that is not in this table may invalidate the printer warranty.

have removed the cardboard from inside the printer.
2 Open the print cartridge access
door of the printer.
3 Remove the bright pink tape from
the cartridge.
Remove the pink tape
Do not touch here
Insert the cartridge
1 If you are replacing a cartridge,
push down and pull outward on the cartridge in the cradle to remove it.
2 Hold the replacement cartridge with
the label on top. Slide the cartridge at a slight upward angle into the cradle so the copper-colored contacts go in first. Push the cartridge until it snaps into place.
3 Close the print cartridge access door.
The idle screen of the printer displays an icon showing the approximate ink level for the installed cartridge (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and nearly empty). No ink­level icon appears if the cartridge is not a genuine HP cartridge.
16 HP Photosmart 320 series
Insert or replace the print cartridge (continued)
When you are not using a print cartridge
Each time you install or replace a print cartridge, a message appears on the printer screen asking you to load plain paper so the printer can align the cartridge. This ensures high-quality prints.
Align the cartridge
1 Load paper in the In tray and press
OK.
2 Follow the onscreen instructions to
align the cartridge.
See Aligning the print cartridge.
Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge protector. The cartridge protector keeps the ink from drying out. Storing the cartridge improperly can cause the cartridge to malfunction.
In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer, but comes with the Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In other countries/regions, the protector is included with the printer.
To insert a cartridge into the cartridge protector, slide the cartridge into the protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.

Inserting memory cards

After you have taken pictures with a digital camera, you can remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into the printer to view and print your photos. The printer can read the following types of memory cards: CompactFlash
MultiMediaCard
, Secure Digital™, SmartMedia™, and xD-Picture Card™. The
Microdrive is not supported.
HP Photosmart 320 series User's Guide 17
, Memory Sticks,
Chapter 2
Caution Using any other type of memory card may damage the memory card
and the printer.
To learn about other ways of transferring photos from a digital camera to the printer, see Connecting to other devices.

Supported file formats

The printer can recognize and print the following file formats directly from a memory card: JPEG, uncompressed TIFF, Motion JPEG AVI, Motion JPEG Quicktime, and MPEG-1. If your digital camera saves photos and video clips in other file formats, save the files to your computer and print them using a software application. For more information, see the onscreen Help.

Inserting a memory card

Insert only one memory card at a time.
Gently push the memory card into the printer until it stops. The memory card
does not insert all the way into the printer; do not try to force it.
Caution 1 Inserting the memory card any other way may damage the card
and the printer.
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Memory Card light flashes and then remains solid green.
Caution 2 Do not pull out a memory card while the Memory Card light is

Maintaining and transporting the printer

The HP Photosmart 320 series printer requires very little maintenance. Follow the guidelines in this chapter to extend the life span of the printer and printing supplies, and to ensure that the photos you print are always of the highest quality.

Cleaning and maintaining the printer

Keep the printer and print cartridges clean and well maintained using the simple procedures in this section.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

1 Turn off the printer, then disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer. 2 If you installed the optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery in the printer, remove
it, then replace the battery compartment cover.
3 Wipe the outside of the printer with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened
with water.
Caution 1 Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and
detergents may damage the printer’s finish.
Caution 2 Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from
the interior.

Cleaning the print cartridge

If you notice white lines or single-color streaks on the photos you print, the print cartridge may need to be cleaned. Do not clean the cartridge more often than necessary, since cleaning uses up ink.
1 Remove any memory cards from the memory card slots.
Caution Do not pull out a memory card while the Memory Card light is
flashing. For more information, see Removing a memory card.
2
Press
3 Select Tools, then press OK. 4 Select Clean cartridge, then press OK. 5 Following the directions on the printer screen, load paper so the printer can print
a test page after cleaning the cartridge. Use plain paper or index cards to conserve photo paper.
6 Press OK to begin cleaning the print cartridge. 7 When the printer finishes cleaning the cartridge and prints a test page, check the
test page and select from the following options:
If the test page has white streaks or missing colors, the print cartridge needs
to be cleaned again. Select Yes, then press OK.
If the print quality of the test page looks good, select No, then press OK.
HP Photosmart 320 series User's Guide 29
to display the printer menu.
or
Chapter 5
You can clean the cartridge up to three times. Each successive cleaning is more thorough and uses more ink.
If you complete all three levels of cleaning using this procedure and you still notice white streaks or missing colors on the test page, you may need to clean the print cartridge copper-colored contacts. For more information, see the following section.
Note If the cartridge or printer has been recently dropped, you may also see white
streaks or missing colors in your prints. This problem is temporary and clears up within 24 hours.

Cleaning the print cartridge contacts

If you use the printer in a dusty environment, debris may accumulate on the copper­colored contacts and cause printing problems.
To clean the print cartridge contacts:
1 Gather the following items to clean the contacts:
Distilled water (tap water may contain contaminants that can damage the
print cartridge)
Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print
cartridge
2 Open the print cartridge door. 3 Remove the print cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the ink nozzle
plate facing up. Be careful not to touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzle plate with your fingers.
Caution Do not leave the print cartridge outside the printer for more than
30 minutes. Ink nozzles exposed to the air longer than this may dry out and cause printing problems.
4 Lightly moisten a cotton swab with distilled water and squeeze any excess water
from the swab.
5 Gently wipe the copper-colored contacts with the cotton swab.
Caution Do not touch the ink nozzle. Touching the ink nozzle will result
in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
6 Repeat steps 4–5 until no ink residue or dust appears on a clean swab. 7 Insert the print cartridge in the printer, then close the print cartridge door.

Printing a test page

You can print a test page to check the condition of the print cartridge.
1 Remove any memory cards from the memory card slots.
Caution Do not pull out a memory card while the Memory Card light is
flashing. For more information, see Removing a memory card.

or
Chapter 5
6 Press OK to begin aligning the print cartridge.
When the printer finishes aligning the cartridge, it prints an alignment page to confirm that the alignment was successful.
The check marks verify that the print cartridge is installed correctly and
functioning properly.
If an “x” appears to the left of any of the bars, align the print cartridge again.
If the “x” still appears, replace the print cartridge.

Storing the printer and print cartridges

Protect the printer and print cartridges by storing them properly when you are not using them.

Storing the printer

The printer is built to withstand long or short periods of inactivity.
Close the In and Out tray doors when the printer is not in use.
Store the printer indoors out of direct sunlight in a place without temperature
extremes.
If the printer and print cartridge have not been used for one month or more, clean the print cartridge before printing. For more information, see Cleaning the print
cartridge.

Storing the print cartridges

When you store or transport the printer, always leave the active print cartridge inside the printer. The printer stores the print cartridge in a protective cap during the power­down cycle.
32 HP Photosmart 320 series
Caution Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you
unplug the power cord or remove the internal battery. This allows the printer to store the print cartridge properly.
Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:
When you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge protector to prevent the ink from drying out.
In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer, but comes with the Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In other countries/regions, the protector is included with the printer.
Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35 degrees C or 59–95 degrees F).
Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge.

Maintaining the quality of photo paper

For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section.

Storing photo paper

Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.
Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface.
Return unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed
to the elements may curl.

Handling photo paper

Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints.
If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently
bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.

Transporting the printer

It's easy to transport and set up the printer almost anywhere. Take it with you on vacations and to family gatherings and social events to instantly print and share photos with family and friends.
To make it even easier to print on the go, you can purchase these accessories:
HP Photosmart Internal Battery: Power the printer with a rechargeable battery so you can print anywhere.
HP Photosmart Automobile DC Adapter: Power the printer from the cigarette lighter in a car.
HP Photosmart Carrying Case for compact photo printers: Carry the printer and printing supplies together in this convenient travel case.
HP Photosmart 320 series User's Guide 33
Chapter 5
To transport the printer:
1 Turn off the printer. 2 Remove any memory cards from the memory card slots. 3 Remove all paper from the In and Out trays, then close the In and Out tray doors.
Note Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug
the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridge properly.
4 Unplug the power cord. 5 If the printer is connected to a computer, disconnect the USB cable from the
computer.
6 Always carry the printer upright.
Note Do not remove the print cartridge when transporting the printer.
Make sure to bring the following items with you:
Paper
Power cord
Digital camera or a memory card containing photos
Extra print cartridges (if you plan to print a lot of photos)
Optional printer accessories you plan to use, such as the battery, DC adapter, or
HP Bluetooth wireless printer adapter
If you are going to connect the printer to a computer, bring the USB cable and HP Photosmart printer software CD
Note If you do not take the printer user guide with you, be sure to write down the
