Accessibility

The printer provides a number of features that make it accessible for people with disabilities.

Visual

The HP software provided with the printer is accessible for users with visual impairments or low vision by using the operating system's accessibility options and features. The software also supports most assistive technology such as screen readers, Braille readers, and voice-to-text applications. For users who are color blind, colored buttons and tabs used in the HP software and on the printer control panel have simple text or icon labels that convey the appropriate action.

Mobility

For users with mobility impairments, the HP software functions can be executed through keyboard commands. The HP software also supports Microsoft® Windows® accessibility options such as StickyKeys, ToggleKeys, FilterKeys, and MouseKeys. The printer doors, buttons, paper trays, and paper guides can be operated by users with limited strength and reach.

Eco

Hewlett-Packard is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound manner. Design for recycling has been incorporated into this product. For more information, see

Environmental product stewardship program.

Get started 7

Chapter 1

HP is committed to helping customers reduce their environmental footprint. HP has provided these features to help you focus on ways to assess and reduce the impact of your printing choices.

For more information about HP's environmental initiatives, visit globalcitizenship/environment/.

Manage power

To conserve electricity and extend the length of time you can use the printer while using battery power, the printer comes with the following features:

• Sleep mode

Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer will enter Sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. The time to Sleep mode cannot be changed.

• Auto-Off

When Auto Power-Off is enabled, the printer will automatically turn off when the printer is using battery power and has been inactive for the configured period of time. You can change the Auto-Off setting from the HP printer software. Once you change the setting, the printer will maintain the setting that you choose.

◦ Windows: Open Toolbox. (For more information, see

the Services tab, click Power Settings, and then select the preferred amount of time.

◦ Mac OS X: Open HP Utility. (For more information, see

In the Printer Settings section, click Power Management, and then select the preferred amount of time.

In addition, try the following:

• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use. To turn off Bluetooth, press the button on the printer’s control panel.

• To maximize battery life and capacity, be sure to charge, use, and store the battery in places that meet the recommended temperature guidelines. For more information about using the battery, see

Conserve printing supplies

To conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:

• Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.

• Do not clean the ink cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

• Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. For more information, see

Print on both sides (duplexing).

Finding the printer model number

In addition to the model name that appears on the front of the printer, this printer has a specific model number. You can use this number when obtaining support and to help determine which supplies or accessories are available for your printer.

The model number is printed on a label located inside the printer, near the ink cartridges area.

Select print media

The printer is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum print quality. Visit the HP Web site at media.

HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing and copying of everyday documents. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.
