loading paper

You can print color photos on 10x15 cm photo paper (with or without a tear-off tab), plain paper, or index cards. For best printing results, use HP Photo Paper. HP papers can be found at most computer and office supply stores or on the Web at:

www.hp-go-supplies.com

(Europe),

www.jpn.hp.com/supply/inkjet

(Asia Pacific).

Your printer supports the following paper types:

With papers other than HP Premium, you may experience paper feeding or ejecting problems. Try loading fewer sheets of paper at a time and be sure the edges of the paper stack are even.

Note: As it prints, the printer pulls the paper straight through the paper slot, out the back,

and then through to the front again. Be sure the rear paper path of the printer is at least 10 inches away from any obstruction.

• Load 10 - 20 sheets of photo paper or index cards. (For information, see the loading instructions that come with your photo paper.)

• Use one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or sizes in the paper tray.

3. Move the paper width guide on the paper tray to fit close to the left edge of the paper without bending the paper. This allows the paper to feed into the printer correctly so that your photos will print straight.

installing or removing the print cartridge

To get the best performance from your printer, use only genuine HP factory-filled print cartridges.

Caution: Make sure you are using the correct print cartridge (HP #57). Damage to the printer or

cartridge resulting from the modification or refilling of HP print cartridges is specifically excluded from HP warranty coverage.

You can install and remove the print cartridge while the printer is either on or off. When you insert a new print cartridge for the first time, the printer automatically prints a calibration page. If you remove the print cartridge and reinsert it, another calibration page will not print. To conserve photo paper, you can print the calibration page on an index card.

Note: If the printer is off when you change the print cartridge, the calibration page prints

when you turn the printer on.

reading the memory card status

When you insert a memory card, the green memory card light starts blinking and the memory card icon appears in the Status LCD. The printer reads the memory card to determine the number of photos. The amount of time this takes depends on how many photos are on the memory card (it may take several minutes) and the photo size.

printing from memory cards

Page 40

When the printer finishes reading the card, the memory card light remains on, the number of photos appears in the Status LCD, and the current printer settings appear in the Setup LCD. You are now ready to print your photos.

Caution: Do not remove the memory card from the printer while the memory card is in use (the

memory card light is blinking). This may damage the printer, the memory card, or the information on the memory card.

Caution: When printing from the memory card while connected to a Windows PC, you may damage

the memory card if you remove it while Windows is still accessing it. For more information, see the Printer Help.

selecting photos to print

The printer assigns a photo number to each photo on the memory card. Due to differing numbering schemes, and how some digital cameras handle re-numbering of photos when photos are deleted, the photo numbers assigned by the printer may not match those shown on your camera’s LCD. For this reason, it is always best to print an index page before printing your photos, so that you will be using the printer’s photo numbers to select the correct photos for printing.

An index page shows 1.5x2 cm views of the photos stored on the memory card. The index page can print 28 images per page and takes approximately a minute and a half to print. Depending on the number of photos on the memory card, an index page may be several pages long. The images on an index page print at a low resolution in order to print quickly, so they do not represent the final print quality of the other photo sizes.

The photo number appears in the lower left corner of each image on the index page. Use the photo number to select photos to print.

Note: This number may be different from the number associated with the

photo on your digital camera. If you add or delete photos from a memory card, reprint the index page to see the new photo numbers.

Many digital cameras allow you to choose which photos to print while you are reviewing the photos using the camera’s LCD. Your selections are stored in a digital print order format (DPOF) file. This file tells the printer which photos to print, the size of each photo, and how many of each photo to print.

Note: If you have an HP direct printing digital camera, you can print camera-selected

photos by connecting directly to your printer’s USB port using the special USB cable that shipped with your camera. After connecting the camera to the printer, the Print Setup screen appears on the camera. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the printing process. Be sure to select 10x15 cm as the paper size. For more information, see your camera documentation.

printing from a DPOF file

Note: When you print from a DPOF file, you will not be able to use the control panel to

choose the photo size, range, or number of copies. This is because the DPOF file created by the camera specifies these settings. If the DPOF file specifies “standard” for the photo size, the photo will print at 10x15 cm; if it specifies “index” for the photo size, the photo will print at 1.5x2 cm size.

To print from a DPOF file:

1. Use your digital camera to create a DPOF file on the memory card.

Note: The settings you can use when creating a DPOF file are specific to your camera.

See your digital camera’s documentation for information on creating a DPOF file.

2. Insert the memory card into your printer. For details, see “inserting a memory card” on page 28.

The printer automatically recognizes the DPOF file on the memory card.

computer.

Page 62

When transporting your printer, make sure to bring the following items with you:

• Paper

• Power adapter

• Memory card containing photos, or your digital camera

• Extra HP #57 print cartridges (if you plan to print a lot of photos)

Note: If you are going to connect your printer to a computer, make sure to also bring your

USB cable and printer software CD.

care and maintenance

storing your printer and supplies

storing your printer

Your printer is built to withstand short or long periods of inactivity. Close the paper tray door when the printer is not in use. Store the printer out of direct sunlight and in a place that does not have temperature extremes (such as indoors).

storing the print cartridge

Always transport and store the used print cartridge inside the printer. The printer stores the print cartridges in a protective cap.

Page 63

Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you disconnect the power. This allows the printer to store the print cartridge correctly.

If the printer and print cartridge have been unused for a month or more, print a test page to clean the print cartridge before using it. See below for details.

storing paper

Store photo paper in its original packaging on a level surface in a cool, dry location.

cleaning your printer

To clean the outside of the printer, use a cloth that has been lightly moistened with water.

Important: Do not use cleaners or soaps as they may damage the printer’s finish.

printing a test page

The test page is used to diagnose print cartridge problems. Printing it also cleans the print cartridge. You should print a test page any time you suspect something is wrong with your print cartridge—the print cartridge cleaning that happens when you print the test page can resolve many print quality problems.

care and maintenance

Page 64

You can print the test page up to three times, each time completing a more thorough print cartridge cleaning.

Note: To conserve photo paper, you can print the test page on an index card.

To print a test page using the control panel:

1. If there is a memory card in any of the card slots, remove the memory card.
