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.

paper		tips

HP papers		•	HP Premium Paper: locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting side of
			the paper, and then load paper with the arrow side facing up.
		•	HP Greeting Card Paper, HP Glossy Greeting Card Paper, or
			HP Textured Greeting Cards: insert a small stack of greeting cards

use a photo memory card

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.

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.

1Insert 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.

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.

2A dialog box on your computer automatically asks you if you want to transfer the memory card’s contents to the computer.

3Press 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.

use a photo memory card

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

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.
