The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to connect the HP Photosmart to your
English
network. You can also use SecureEasySetup, if your wireless router or access point
supports this feature. See the documentation that came with your wireless router or
access point to find out if it supports using EasySetup and for additional setup instructions.
CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP
strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (WPA or WEP security) and
a unique network name (SSID) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might
have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer
name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by
other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the
HP Photosmart might accidently connect to a different wireless network in your area
which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access
the HP Photosmart. For more information on how to change the network name, see
the documentation that came with your wireless router.
NOTE: Before connecting to a wireless infrastructure network, ensure that the
ethernet cable is not connected to the HP Photosmart.
To connect the HP Photosmart with the Wireless Setup Wizard

• Network Name (also called SSID)
• WEP Key, WPA Passphrase (if needed)
If you do not know where to find this information, see the documentation that came
with your wireless router or access point. You might be able to find the network name
(SSID) and the WEP key or WPA passphrase on the Embedded Web Server for the
wireless router.
NOTE: HP provides an online tool that might be able to find your wireless
security settings automatically. Go to:

3 Use the HP Photosmart features
This chapter includes information about how to use the HP Photosmart for basic
operations. In addition, it provides instructions about how to load paper, view, select, and
print photos, and replace the ink cartridges.
Load paper
English
Load full-size 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.
You can load many types of letter or A4 paper into the main input tray of the
HP Photosmart.
To load full-size paper
1. Pull out the main input tray, and then slide the paper-width and paper-length guides
to their outermost positions.
2. 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.
3. 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 ink 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. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead, refer to the diagram
engraved in the base of the main input tray.
4. Slide the paper-width and paper-length guides inward until they stop at the edges 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.
5. Push the main input tray back into the HP Photosmart.
6. Pull the output tray extender toward you, as far as it will go.
English
NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
You can load up to 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper into the photo tray of the
HP Photosmart. For the best results, use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) HP Premium Plus Photo
Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper.
To load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper in the photo tray
1. Raise the output tray, and then pull out 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-length and paper-width guides inward against the stack of photo
paper until the guides stop.
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. Push in the photo tray, and then lower the output tray.
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.
• 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.
• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the HP Photosmart.
View, select, and print photos
You can view and select photos on your memory card or storage device before or while
printing them.
To view, select, and print photos
1. Insert a memory card into the appropriate slot on the HP Photosmart, or connect a
storage device to the front USB port.
