Use the HP Image Zone to do more with your HP All-in- One

The HP Image Zone software is installed on your computer when you set up your

HP All-in-One. For further information, see the Setup Guide that came with your device.

The entry point for the software varies by operating system (OS). For example, if you have a PC and are running Windows, the entry point is the HP Solution Center. If you have a Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later, the entry point is the HP Image Zone window. Regardless, the entry point serves as the launching pad for the HP Image Zone software and services.

Note In Windows, you may have the option of installing two versions of the software. If you choose HP Image Zone Express, you will receive a more basic set of image editing features and some features mentioned may not be available.

Access the HP Image Zone software (Windows)

Open the HP Solution Center from the desktop icon or the Start menu. The HP Image Zone software features appear in the HP Solution Center.

Access the HP Image Zone software (Mac)

When you install the HP Image Zone software, the HP Image Zone icon is placed in the Dock. Click the HP Image Zone icon in the Dock. The HP Image Zone window displays only the HP Image Zone features that are appropriate for the selected device.

Note If you install more than one HP All-in-One, an HP Image Zone icon for each device is displayed in the Dock. For example, if you have an HP scanner and an HP All-in-One installed, two HP Image Zone icons are present in the Dock, one for each device. However, if you installed two of the same kind of device (for example, two HP All-in-Ones) only one HP Image Zone icon is displayed in the Dock to represent all devices of that type.

Click the HP Image Zone icon in the Dock. The HP Image Zone window appears.

The HP Image Zone window displays only the HP Image Zone features that are appropriate for the selected device.

2 Load originals and load paper

This chapter provides instructions for loading originals on the glass to copy or scan, choosing the best paper type for your job, loading paper in the paper tray, and avoiding paper jams.

Load an original

You can copy or scan up to letteror A4-size originals by loading them on the glass.

Note Many of the special features will not work correctly if the glass and lid backing are not clean. For more information, see Clean the HP All-in-One.

1.Lift the lid and place your original face down on the left front corner of the glass.

2.Close the lid.

Choose papers for printing and copying

You can use many types and sizes of paper in your HP All-in-One. Review the following recommendations to get the best printing and copying quality. Whenever you change paper types or sizes, remember to change those settings.

Recommended papers

For the best print quality, use HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos, for example, load glossy or matte photo paper in the paper tray. If you are printing a brochure or presentation, use a type of paper specifically designed for that purpose.

For more information about HP papers, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help, or go to www.hp.com/support/inkjet_media.

Note At this time, this portion of the site is available in English only.

Papers to avoid

Using inappropriate papers can cause paper jams or poor print quality.

Load originals and load paper

Chapter 2

Avoid these papers in your HP All-in-One

●Paper that is too thin, has a slick texture, or that stretches easily

●Highly textured stock, such as linen (it might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed into these papers)

●Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms (they can wrinkle or get stuck and the ink is more likely to smear)

●Envelopes with clasps or windows (they can get stuck in the rollers and they can cause paper jams)

●Banner paper

In addition, do not COPY to these papers

●Any size paper other than letter, A4, 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch), or Hagaki

●Envelopes

●Transparency film

●Labels

Load paper

This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into your HP All-in-One for your copies or prints.

Load full-size paper

1.Lower the paper tray and, if necessary, squeeze and hold the tab on top of the paper-width guide and slide the paper-width guide to the outermost position.

Caution Legal paper might get caught on the paper tray extender if it is fully extended when you print onto legal paper. To avoid a paper jam when using legal-size paper, do not open the paper tray extender.

1 Paper tray door

2 Paper-width guide

3 Paper tray extender

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 paper tray with the short edge forward and the print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops.

Note 1 Make sure all paper is of the same size and type. Do not overload the paper tray; make sure the stack of paper lies flat in the paper tray and fits under the tab of the paper-width guide.

10	HP PSC 1400 All-in-One series

Note 2 Do not push the paper in too far. This might cause the HP All-in- One to select several pieces of paper at once.

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 paper tray.

4.Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.

Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper

You can load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper into the paper tray of your HP All-in- One. For best results, follow these recommendations.

●Use a recommended type of 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

●Set the paper type and paper size before copying or printing. For information on changing paper settings, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

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 All-in-One.

1.Remove all paper from the paper tray.

2.Insert the stack of photo paper into the far right side of the paper tray with the short edge forward and the print side down. Slide the stack of photo paper forward until it stops.

3.Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide inward against the stack of photo paper until it stops.

Do not overload the paper tray. Make sure the stack of photo paper lies flat in the paper tray and fits under the tab of the paper-width guide.

Tip If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the tabs are closest to you.

Load originals and load paper

Load envelopes, postcards, and Hagaki

You can load envelopes, postcards, or Hagaki into the paper tray.

For the best results, set the paper type and size before printing or copying. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

Tip You cannot copy onto plain, small-size paper, only photo paper. You must print onto plain postcards, plain Hagaki, and envelopes.

Note For specific details on how to format text for printing on envelopes, consult the help files in your word processing software. For best results, consider using a label for the return address on envelopes.

1.Remove all paper from the paper tray.

2.Insert the stack of cards or envelopes into the far right side of the paper tray with the short edge forward and the print side down. Envelope flaps should be toward the left. Slide the stack forward until it stops.

3.Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide inward against the stack until it stops.

Load other types of paper

The following table provides guidelines for loading certain types of paper. For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper sizes or paper types.

Note Not all paper sizes and paper types can be used with all the functions on the HP All-in-One. Some paper sizes and paper types can only be used if you are starting a print job from the Print dialog box in a software application. They are not available for copying. Papers that are only available for printing from a software application are indicated as such in the following table.

Paper

HP papers

Labels

(for printing from a software application only)

Tips

●HP Premium Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting side of the paper, and then slide the paper into the paper tray with the arrow side facing up.

●HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the white transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on top and is going into the paper tray first. (For printing from a software application only.)

Note The HP All-in-One cannot automatically detect transparency film. For best results, set the paper type in the software application to transparency film before printing on transparency film.

●HP Matte Greeting Cards, HP Photo Greeting Cards, or

HP Textured Greeting Cards: Insert a small stack of HP greeting card paper into the paper tray with the print side down and slide the stack of cards forward until it stops. (For printing from a software application only.)

Always use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet devices (such as HP or Avery inkjet labels), and make sure that the labels are no more than two years old. Labels on older sheets might peel off in the HP All-in-One, causing paper jams.

Note Insert a stack of label sheets on top of a stack of full-size paper, label side down. Do not insert one sheet at a time.

1.Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking together.

2.Place a stack of label sheets on top of full-size plain paper in the paper tray, label side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines:

●Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.

●Remove printed papers from the paper tray frequently.

●Ensure that paper loaded in the paper tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

●Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the paper tray; the entire stack of paper in the paper tray must be the same size and type.

●Adjust the paper-width guide in the paper tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper guide does not bend the paper in the paper tray.

●Do not force paper too far forward in the paper tray.

●Use paper types that are recommended for your HP All-in-One. For more information, see Choose papers for printing and copying.

For more information about clearing paper jams, see Paper troubleshooting.
