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.hpshopping.com (U.S.)
www.hp-go-supplies.com (Europe), www.jpn.hp.com/supply/inkjet (Japan), www. hp.com/paper

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.

To load paper:
1.Open the paper tray door.
2.Place a stack of paper on the paper tray and slide it underneath the output guide.
•The printer prints on the side of the paper that is facing up. If you are using photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side up. If you are using tabbed paper, load the paper into the tray so the tab feeds into the printer first.
Output guide
Paper width
guide
•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.
22
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.

To install the print cartridge:

Note: Do NOT touch the ink nozzles or the copper contacts on the print cartridge. Touching these parts may cause print cartridge failure.

Ink nozzles 
2. Open the print cartridge door by pulling the door down.
