3 Paper basics

Learn how to choose the right paper for your print job and how to load it into the input tray for printing.
•
Choose the best paper for the job Load your paper
•

Choose the best paper for the job

Use HP Advanced Photo Paper. It is especially designed to work with the inks in your printer to create beautiful photos. Other photo papers will produce inferior results.
For a list of available HP-designed inkjet paper, or to purchase supplies, go to:
•
www.hpshopping.com (U.S.) www.hpshopping.ca (Canada)
•
www.hp.com/eur/hpoptions (Europe)
•
www.hp.com (All other countries/regions)
•
The printer is set by default to print the best quality photos on HP Advanced Photo Paper. If you print on a different type of paper, be sure to change the paper type. For information on changing the paper type in the printer menu, see “ information on changing the paper type when printing from a computer, see “
print settings for the print job” on page 43.

Paper loading tips:
• You can print on photo paper, index cards, L-size cards, A-6 cards, or panoramic paper.
• 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 input tray.
• Do not load more than 20 sheets of photo paper.
• Do not load more than 10 sheets of 10 x 30 cm (4 x 12 inches) photo paper for panoramic printing. Loading more than ten sheets can cause paper feed problems.
• If you are using tabbed paper, load the paper so the tab feeds in last.
Paper basics 19
Chapter 3
To load paper
1. Open the output tray. The input tray opens automatically.
2. Load up to 20 sheets of photo paper with the print side or glossy side facing the front
of the printer. If you are using tabbed paper, load the paper so tab feeds in last. When loading, slide the paper to the left side of the input tray and push the paper down firmly until it stops.
3. Adjust the paper-width guide to fit close to the edge of the paper without bending the paper.
To change the paper type
TIP: If you are printing on a paper type other than the recommended HP Advanced
Photo Paper, be sure to change the paper type setting to improve the results. Best quality can be achieved with HP Advanced Photo Paper only.
1. Touch the Menu icon on the quick touch frame to open the printer menus.
2. Scroll to and touch Preferences.
3. Touch Paper type, and then touch the desired paper type to select it.

Print from a PictBridge-certified camera or device
This section describes the procedure for printing from a PictBridge digital camera. The procedure for printing from other PictBridge devices—such as camera phones and other image capture devices—is very similar. Review the documentation that came with your PictBridge device for specific information.
NOTE: If you disconnect the camera while printing, all print jobs are cancelled.
To print using a PictBridge-certified camera
1. Load HP Advanced Photo Paper into the printer.
2. Turn on the PictBridge-certified digital camera.
3. Make sure the USB configuration setting of the camera is set to Digital Camera, and
then connect the camera to the camera port of the printer using the USB cable that came with the PictBridge-certified camera. The memory card/camera port light flashes while the camera establishes a connection to the printer, and then turns solid.
See the camera documentation for more information about the USB configuration setting. The name of the setting and its options may differ on non-HP digital cameras.
4. If you already selected photos for printing on the camera, the Print DPOF Photos? dialog box is displayed on the camera. Select No to bypass printing pre-selected photos. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) lets the user mark photos on a digital camera for printing and include other image information, such as number of copies to be printed.
5. Use the options and controls on your camera to print your photos. See the camera documentation for more information. The On light and the memory card/camera port light on the printer flash while the photos are printing.

Print from a memory card

This section explains how to print digital photos that are stored on a memory card. You can select photos while the memory card is in the camera (Digital Print Order Format, or DPOF) or while the memory card is in the printer. Printing from a memory card requires no computer and does not drain your digital camera's batteries.
