2 Getting ready to print

Before you can begin printing, there are three easy procedures you should 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	Use this paper
High-quality, long-lasting prints and	HP Premium Plus photo paper
enlargements
Mediumto high-resolution images from	HP Premium photo paper
scanners and digital cameras
Casual and business photos	HP photo paper
	HP Everyday 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

4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) 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. When loading, push the paper down firmly until it stops. If you are using tabbed paper, insert it so the tabbed end feeds in last.
