1 HP Photosmart overview
Use the HP Photosmart to print photos from a memory card or label your CD/DVDs by
printing directly on the surface of printable CD/DVD discs. The Two-sided printing
accessory included with the HP Photosmart lets you print on both sides of the page, so
you can print brochures and booklets, or just save paper. You can access many
HP Photosmart functions directly from the control panel, without turning on your
computer.
NOTE: This guide introduces basic operations and troubleshooting, as well as
provides information for contacting HP support and ordering supplies.
The onscreen Help details the full range of features and functions, including use of
the HP Photosmart software that came with the HP Photosmart.

Load paper
This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into
the HP Photosmart for your printouts.
TIP: To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in
a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature
and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the
HP Photosmart.
To load full-size paper
1. Raise the output tray to load paper into the main input tray.
Find more information 7
Chapter 1
English
2. Slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position.
3. Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper
for the following:
• Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
4. Insert the stack of paper into the main input tray with the short edge forward and the
print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops.
CAUTION: Make sure that the HP Photosmart is idle and silent when you load
paper into the main input tray. If the HP Photosmart is servicing the print cartridges
or otherwise engaged in a task, the paper stop inside the device might not be in
place. You could push the paper too far forward, causing the HP Photosmart to
eject blank pages.
TIP: If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the print side
down.
5. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
Do not overload the main input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the main
input tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
8 HP Photosmart D5300 series
6. Lower the output tray. Pull the output tray extender towards you, as far as it will go.
NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
To load up to 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch) photo paper in the photo tray
1. Raise the photo tray lid to load photo paper in the photo tray.
2. Insert the stack of photo paper into the photo tray with the short edge forward and the
print side down. Slide the stack of photo paper forward until it stops.
If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the
tabs are closest to you.
3. Slide the paper-width guide inward against the stack of photo paper until the guide
stops.
Do not overload the photo tray; make sure the stack of photo paper fits within the
photo tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
4. Lower the photo tray lid.
English
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
• Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
• If you are printing labels, ensure that the label sheets are no more than two years old.
Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the
HP Photosmart, and cause paper jams.
• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure
the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
Avoid paper jams 9
Chapter 1
• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the HP Photosmart.
Print directly onto a CD/DVD
1. Use the software that came with the HP Photosmart to create a label and print it
directly on an inkjet printable CD/DVD.
2. When prompted, carefully remove the CD/DVD holder that came with the
HP Photosmart.
English
The CD/DVD holder is stored below the main input tray.
3. Securely snap the inkjet printable media onto the CD/DVD holder with the printable
side up. The CD/DVD should be placed on the ring at the end of the holder with the
arrows.
NOTE: If you are using a smaller-sized media, only then should you flip the CD/
DVD holder ring over the CD/DVD.
4. Lower the CD/DVD access door to access the CD/DVD tray.
The CD/DVD access door is located just below the control panel. When in its lowered
position, the CD/DVD tray sits on top of the output tray.
10 HP Photosmart D5300 series
5. Push the CD/DVD holder into the HP Photosmart CD/DVD tray. Make sure that you
push the CD/DVD holder until the lines on the CD/DVD holder line up to the white
lines on the CD/DVD tray.
NOTE: The HP Photosmart pulls the CD/DVD holder while printing on the media.
The CD/DVD holder might protrude about 7.5 cm (3 inches) at the back of the
device. If the HP Photosmart is placed close to a wall, move it at least 3 inches
away from the wall.
Print up to 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch) photos
English
The HP Photosmart enables you to print photos directly from your memory card without
first transferring the files to a computer. You can print borderless photos (one per sheet
of paper) or you can print multiple photos on a single sheet of paper.
By default, the HP Photosmart is set to detect the type of paper you are using
automatically. For the best results when printing photos, leave the Paper Type set to
Automatic, and load photo paper in the photo tray. You should only change the Paper
Type if you see print quality issues using the Automatic setting.
To achieve the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically
designed for the type of project you are printing along with genuine HP ink. HP papers
and HP ink are specifically designed to work well together to provide high-quality output.

Troubleshooting and support 17
English
Chapter 2
Solution
• Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to both the HP Photosmart and the power
adapter. Plug the power cord into a power outlet, surge protector, or power strip.
1 Power connection
2 Power cord and adapter
3 Power outlet
• If you are using a power strip, make sure the power strip is on. Or, try plugging the
HP Photosmart directly into a power outlet.
• Test the power outlet to make sure it is working. Plug in an appliance that you know works,
and see if the appliance has power. If not, then there might be a problem with the power
outlet.
• If you plugged the HP Photosmart into a switched outlet, make sure the switch is on. If it is
switched to on but still does not work, then there might be a problem with the power outlet.
Cause: You pressed the On button too quickly.
Solution: The HP Photosmart might not respond if you press the On button too quickly. Press
the On button once. It might take a few minutes for the HP Photosmart to turn on. If you press
the On button again during this time, you might turn the device off.
CAUTION: If the HP Photosmart still does not turn on, it might have a mechanical failure.
Unplug the HP Photosmart from the power outlet and contact HP. Go to:
support. If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information
on calling for technical support.
I connected the USB cable, but I am having problems using the HP Photosmart with
my computer
Cause: The USB cable was connected before the software was installed. Connecting the USB
cable before prompted can cause errors.
Solution: You must first install the software that came with the HP Photosmart before
connecting the USB cable. During installation, do not plug in the USB cable until prompted by
the onscreen instructions.
Once you have installed the software, connecting your computer to the HP Photosmart with a
USB cable is straightforward. Simply plug one end of the USB cable into the back of your
computer and the other into the back of the HP Photosmart. You can connect to any USB port
on the back of your computer.
