printer basics

loading paper

You can print on many different types and sizes of paper. We recommend using HP-designed inkjet paper for the best output quality. For example, if you are printing a photo, be sure to print on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper for the best photo quality.

Note: If you are using HP-designed inkjet paper, remember to set the

For a list of available HP-designed inkjet paper, visit the Web at www.hpprintcenter.com. HP papers can be purchased at most computer and office supply stores or on the Web at www.hpshopping.com (US only).

You can load a:

paper type in the printer Properties dialog box.

• Stack of paper in the IN tray

• Stack of 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo paper in the photo tray

• Single envelope

See the Onscreen User’s Guide for information about loading envelopes, index cards, and other small media.

loading paper in the IN tray

You can load many different types of paper in the IN tray, including plain paper, HP Photo Paper, and HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film.

To load paper in the IN tray:

1 Lift the OUT tray.

2 Pull out the IN tray by using the handles on the side of the tray.

3 Pull out the paper length

guide on the IN tray and slide the paper width guide as far to the left as it will go.

4 Place a stack of paper into

the IN tray.

• Load the paper printing

side down. The printer prints on the face-down side of the paper; the finished document faces up in the OUT tray.

• Always load paper in

the portrait direction, with the long edge along the long edge of the IN tray.

Paper width guide

Pap er le ngth guide

• Be careful not to use too much or too little paper. It may be

difficult for the printer to “grab” a sheet of paper when there are only one or two sheets in the IN tray. Check that the stack of paper contains several sheets but is no higher than the top of the paper length guide.

• Use one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types

or sizes in the IN tray.

5 Move the slider (visible through a slot in the OUT tray) toward you

until it stops. This disengages the photo tray.

6 Adjust the paper width guide and paper length guide to fit close to the

edges of the paper without bending the paper. This helps the paper feed straight into the printer.

7 Slide the IN tray back into place and lower the OUT tray.

loading photo paper in the photo tray

You can print on 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo paper. Do not put more than 20 sheets in the photo tray.

When you use the photo tray, you can leave paper in the IN tray. If you run out of photo paper in the photo tray, the printer will continue to print using paper from the IN tray.

To load photo paper in the photo tray:

1 Move the slider (visible through a slot in the OUT tray) toward you

until it stops. This disengages the photo tray.

2 Lift the OUT tray.

3 Load paper in the photo

tray with the printing side down. If you are using perforated paper, insert the paper so the tab feeds in last. The printer prints on the face-down side of the paper; the finished document faces up in the OUT tray.

4 Lower the OUT tray to its

original position.

5 Move the slider away from you (toward the inside of the printer) until it

stops against the edge of the paper. This engages the photo tray.

Note: When you are finished using the photo tray, disengage it so

the printer uses the paper in the IN tray.

installing or replacing the print cartridges

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

To get maximum use from your print cartridges, do not unplug the printer or turn off the power source (such as a power strip) until the Power light is off.

Caution: Check that you are using the correct print cartridges. Use

one black print cartridge HP #45 (51645) and one color cartridge HP #78 (C6578). Do not refill print cartridges yourself. Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP print cartridges is specifically excluded from the HP printer warranty coverage.

To install or replace print cartridges:

1 On the printer’s control panel, press the Power button to turn the

printer on.

2 Open the top cover. The print cartridge cradle moves to the center of

the printer.

3 Lift the cradle latch of the print

cartridge you want to install or replace.

4 If you are replacing a print

cartridge, lift out the old print cartridge and recycle or discard it.

understanding memory cards

If your digital camera uses a memory card to store images, you can insert the memory card into the printer to print, save, or email your photos. The printer guides you through the process.

For more information on how to print files from a memory card, see “printing from the printer’s control panel” on page 21.

memory card types supported

Type I & II

Memory Stick

SmartMedia

IBM Microdrive

printer basics

hp photosmart 1315 color printer

Your printer can read CompactFlash Association (CFA) certified Type I & II, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, and IBM Microdrive memory cards up to 527

MB. These cards are manufactured by several vendors and are available in a variety of storage capacities. You can purchase memory cards where you purchased your digital camera or at most computer supply stores.

Caution: Using another type of memory card may damage the

memory card, the printer, or both.

If your digital camera supports multiple file types, it may also be able to save photos in several different file formats such as JPEG, uncompressed TIFF, FlashPix, and RAW. You can print JPEG and uncompressed TIFF files directly from the memory card, or you can print and save any file type from your computer. For information about supported file formats, see “specifications” on page 64.

inserting a memory card

Once you have taken pictures with your digital camera, you can print photos immediately or save them directly to your computer using the printer. Before you insert a memory card, be sure the printer is turned ON.

Note: The printer can only access one memory card slot at a time.

When the memory card is inserted correctly, the card slot light illuminates and the LCD displays the first photo on the memory card.

Caution: Do not pull out the memory card while the card slot light is

blinking. Removing a card while it is being accessed may damage the printer or the memory card, or corrupt the information on the memory card.

hp photosmart 1315 color printer

understanding the LCD

Your printer comes equipped with a color LCD that allows you to review and print your photos quickly and easily with a memory card inserted. You can review up to 2000 images at a time, although the capacity of your memory card determines how many images it can store.

Note: You cannot view non-photo files on the LCD.

The LCD also has a “screen saver” that activates automatically when a memory card is inserted and the printer has not been accessed for eight minutes. The screen saver randomly displays a thumbnail image on the LCD, then after approximately two minutes, the displayed image disappears and the LCD becomes blank.

positioning the LCD

using the select button

The LCD on your printer is adjustable to a 90 degree angle.

Use the Up, Down, Left, and Right arrows to scroll through the images stored on the memory card and through the menu options. Use the Select button to select images and menu options. The image must be displayed on the LCD and the menu option must be highlighted to select it. A check mark appears in the upper right corner of the image on the LCD when it has been selected.
