recommended papers

For the best print quality, use HP papers. Paper that is too thin, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not be filled in completely. For more information about HP papers, check our website at:
www.hp.com/support

load other types of paper in the paper tray

The following table provides guidelines for loading nonstandard types of paper. For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change the paper type or paper size. For more information, see set the paper type on page 15.
Note: Some paper types might not be available in your country/region. Note: Photo paper might curl when you remove it from the box. If this
occurs, curl the paper the opposite way to flatten it before inserting it into the HP PSC.

This HP PSC can access the memory cards used in almost any digital camera so you can print, store, manage, and share your digital photos in some very exciting ways.
This section contains the following topics:
what is a memory card? on page 17
insert a memory card and save the files to your computer on page 18
print photos by using a proof sheet on page 19
use the hp photo & imaging gallery on page 23

what is a memory card?

If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the memory card in your HP PSC to print or save your photos.
You can print a proof sheet, which might be several pages long and shows thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card, and print photos from the memory card, even if your HP PSC is not connected to a computer.
Your HP PSC can read CompactFlash (I, II), Memory Sticks, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD memory cards.
Your HP PSC features four slots for memory cards, shown in the illustration below with the memory cards that correspond to each slot.
17
chapter 3
From top to bottom, the slots are configured as follows:
Slot 1: SmartMedia on top of slot (with side shown down), xD on bottom
Slot 2: Memory Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo (with user-supplied adapter), Memory Stick Pro
Slot 3: CompactFlash (I, II)
Slot 4: Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC) Note: By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less
and 64 MB or more with FAT32 format. Digital cameras and other devices use the FAT (FAT16 and FAT12) format and cannot operate with a FAT32 formatted card. Either format your card in your camera or select the FAT format to format your card in a Windows XP PC.
For some basic memory card troubleshooting information included in this Reference Guide, see photo memory card troubleshooting on page 70.

insert a memory card and save the files to your computer

After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save them directly to your computer.
1 Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP PSC.
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Photo button on the front panel remains on. The Read Status LED next to the card slots blinks green when the card is being accessed. It can take several minutes for the HP PSC to read a memory card that contains many images.
If you insert a memory card backwards, the Photo Error LED next to the card slots blinks amber and your computer might display an error message such as Card is not fully inserted.
18
Read Status LED
Photo button
Photo Error LED
Warning! Never attempt to remove a memory card while it is being accessed. Doing so can damage files on the card. You can safely remove a card only when the Read Status LED next to the slot is off.
2 A dialog box on your computer automatically asks you if you want to
transfer the memory card’s contents to the computer.
3 Press the appropriate button in the dialog box to begin the process.
This saves all the photos from the memory card to your computer that have not already been transferred before.
hp psc 1300 series
Note: You can cancel the transfer process only from your computer. The HP PSC’s Cancel button does not stop transfers. Click the appropriate button in the dialog box.
For Windows: by default, files are saved in month and year folders depending on when the photos were taken. The folders are created under the C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Pictures folder in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
For Macintosh: by default, files are saved to the computer in Hard Drive:Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos folder (OS 9) or Hard Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos folder (OS X).
On a Macintosh you can use iPhoto as a transfer destination instead of the HP Photo and Imaging Gallery. See the onscreen hp photo and imaging
help that came with your software. Note: You can only use one memory card in your HP PSC at a time. Tip: Is your hard disk full? If your computer is equipped with an
internal or external CD writer, you can organize large collections of digital photos on CDs by using the Memories Disc feature of the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery.
For information on using Memories Disc on a Macintosh, see the onscreen
hp photo and imaging help that came with your software.

print photos by using a proof sheet

use a photo memory card
A proof sheet is a simple and convenient way to make prints directly from a memory card without the need for a computer. A proof sheet, which might be several pages long, shows thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card. An index number appears under each thumbnail along with a circle.
This section contains the following topics:
print a proof sheet on page 20
complete the proof sheet on page 20
print photos by scanning a proof sheet on page 21
create borderless prints on page 22 Tip: You can optimize the quality of the photos you print with
your HP PSC by purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the black print cartridge and insert the photo print cartridge in its place. Insert the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector so the print cartridge’s nozzles do not become clogged. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos.
For more information, see order print cartridges on the inside back cover and work with print cartridges on page 32.
Note: The HP PSC does not operate properly with only one ink cartridge inserted. The Check Print Cartridge light blinks to alert you to this situation.
After printing a proof sheet, you fill in the circles under the photos you want to print, and place the proof sheet on the glass. The HP PSC scans the proof sheet and prints the photos you selected, without a computer.

chapter 3

print a proof sheet

There are three steps to using a proof sheet to print photos:
Printing a proof sheet
Completing the printed proof sheet to select photos, number of copies, and layout
Scanning the completed proof sheet to print the selected photos
Note: Before printing a proof sheet, make sure to remove all documents from the glass of the HP PSC. If there is anything on the glass when you press the Photo button, an error results. Make sure the paper tray contains letter or A4 paper; otherwise the proof sheet does not print.
1 Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP PSC. Wait for
the Photo button to remain lit before proceeding.
2 Press the Photo button to print a proof sheet.
The proof sheet prints starting with the last 20 photos stored on the memory card since these are the most recent photos taken. Additional pages print if there are more than 20 photos on the card. If the memory card is empty, no proof sheet is printed and an error message appears on the computer.
3 Remove the proof sheet from the HP PSC.
Tip: If you want to cancel proof sheet printing after the first sheet
of the most recently taken 20 photos, wait until the first sheet has printed, and then press Cancel. If you press Cancel earlier, the proof sheet is unusable for selecting and printing photos.

complete the proof sheet

After you have printed a proof sheet, you can select photos to be printed.
20
hp psc 1300 series
1 Select the photos to print by doing one of the following:
If you only want to print some photos, fill in the circles located under
the thumbnail images on the proof sheet with a dark pen.
If you want to print all the photos, fill in the circle next to the Print all
images on memory card option located just before the first row of thumbnails.
2 Select only one paper type by filling in the circle under the appropriate
paper type on the proof sheet:
–plain –photo
small paper (4 by 6 inch (10 by 15 cm) photo paper for borderless
printing (with tear-off tab))
3 If you selected plain paper or photo paper, select only one layout by filling
in the circle under the appropriate layout on the proof sheet. Note: If you selected small paper, do not select any layout. You must
complete each of these steps before proceeding.

print photos by scanning a proof sheet

Tip: Make sure the glass of the HP PSC is completely clean or the
proof sheet might not scan properly. See clean the glass on page 31 for instructions. Make sure there is nothing but a completed proof sheet on the glass or an error results when you press the Photo button.
Note: You might want to use a photo print cartridge for superior print quality. With the tri-color and photo print cartridges installed, you have a six-ink system. See work with print cartridges on page 32 for more information.

use a photo print cartridge

You can optimize the quality of the photos you print with your HP PSC by purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the black print cartridge and insert the photo print cartridge in its place. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos. When you want to print regular text documents, swap the black print cartridge back in. Use a print cartridge protector to keep your print cartridge secure when it is not being used. For more information on using the print cartridge protector, see use a print cartridge protector on page 36 and for more information on replacing print cartridges, see replace the print cartridges on page 34.
For more information on purchasing a photo print cartridge, see order print
cartridges on the inside back cover.

! To insert a print cartridge into the print cartridge protector, slide the print
cartridge into the print cartridge protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.

hewlett-packard limited global warranty statement

extent of limited warranty

Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) warrants to the end-user customer (“Customer”) that each HP PSC product (“Product”), including related software, accessories, media, and supplies, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration, which begins on the date of purchase by the Customer.
For each software Product, HP’s limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any Product shall be uninterrupted or error free.
HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of a Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result of (a) improper maintenance or modification, (b) software, accessories, media, or supplies not provided or supported by HP, or (c) operation outside the Product’s specifications.
For any hardware Product, the use of a non-HP print cartridge or a refilled print cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the Customer or any HP support contract with the Customer. However, if Product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled print cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service the Product for the failure or damage.
If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product, HP shall either repair or replace the defective Product, at HP’s option. Where labor charges are not covered by HP’s limited warranty, repairs shall be at HP’s standard charges for labor.
If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective Product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the Product.
HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the Customer returns the defective Product to HP.
Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.
HP products, including each Product, may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.
HP’s limited warranty for each Product is valid in any country/region or locality where HP has a support presence for the Product and where HP has marketed the Product. The level of warranty service may vary according to local standards. HP shall have no obligation to alter the form, fit, or function of the Product in order to make it operate in a country/ region or locality for which the Product was never intended to operate.

hp instant share setup and use

HP Instant Share makes it easy to send photos that family and friends can view. Just take a photo or scan an image, select the photograph or image, and use the software on your computer to forward the media to an e-mail destination. You can even upload your photos (depending on your country/region) to an online photo album, or an online photo finishing service.
With HP Instant Share, family and friends always get photos they can view—no more large downloads or images that are too big to open. An e-mail with thumbnail images of your photos is sent with a link to a secure Web page where your family and friends can easily view, share, print, and save your pictures.
Note: Some operating systems do not support HP Instant Share, but you can still use your HP Photo & Imaging Director (HP Director) software to send a photo to family and friends as an e-mail attachment. (For more information, see send a photo or image using your hp psc (Macintosh) on page 60.)

photo memory card troubleshooting

If your HP PSC is connected to a computer, an error message might appear if there are problems with the proof sheet or photo memory card features. If your HP PSC is not connected to a computer, the amber Photo Error light might blink, but there will be no error messages to inform you about the specific cause of the problem. Here are some problems you might encounter at each stage of using a memory card and proof sheet to produce prints.
problem possible cause and solution
You insert a memory card, nothing seems to happen
• The memory card is not fully inserted. Remove and reinsert the
memory card.
• The memory card is inserted incorrectly. Remove and reinsert the
memory card.
• There was already a memory card in a slot. Remove one memory
card. The HP PSC reads the remaining memory card.
• The memory card is defective or damaged. Reformat the memory
card or use a new one.
• There are no photos on the memory card. Use the memory card in a
digital camera, take some photos, and then use it in your HP PSC.
You press the Photo button, but the HP PSC does not print a proof sheet
• Small media is loaded in the paper tray (proof sheets require Letter
or A4 paper). Place Letter or A4 paper in the paper tray.
• No photo memory card was in a slot when you tried to print a proof
sheet. Insert a memory card in the appropriate memory card slot, wait for it to be read, and try again.
• The HP PSC had not finished reading the memory card. It can take
several minutes for the HP PSC to read a memory card that contains many images. Wait for the Read Status LED to stop blinking before you press the Photo button.
• There is a document already on the glass. Remove all documents
from the glass before printing a proof sheet.
70
hp psc 1300 series
problem possible cause and solution
Some or all of the photos selected on the proof sheet do not print
• The paper size selected on the proof sheet does not match the contents of the paper tray. Load the same size paper in the paper tray as selected on the proof sheet.
• The proof sheet is not readable. Print a new sheet, complete it, and try again.
• The proof sheet is placed incorrectly on the glass. Place the top of the completed proof sheet face down on the scanner glass in the left front corner, and then close the lid.
• You are using an outdated proof sheet and the photos have been deleted from the card since you printed the proof sheet. Print a new, up-to-date proof sheet.
• You forgot to fully complete the proof sheet. Make sure to select at least one photo as well as one paper type and one layout (or the small paper, photo paper only option).
• You chose more than one paper type or layout. Print a new proof sheet, complete it correctly, and then scan it to create prints.
