Chapter 4

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

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using 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.

Note Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be

available.

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 paper that is too thin, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

We do not recommend printing to the following papers:

● Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices)

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

● Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for your

Load originals and load paper

14 HP PSC 1500 All-in-One series

HP All-in-One (they can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink)

● 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

We do not recommend copying to the following papers:

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

● Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices)

● Envelopes

● Banner paper

● Transparency film

● Multiple-part forms or label stock

● Iron-on transfer paper

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 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 All-in-One.

Load full-size paper

You can load many types of letter, A4, or legal paper into the paper tray of your HP Allin-One.

To load full-size paper

1. Open the paper tray door.

2. Pull the paper tray extender toward you, as far as it will go. Flip the paper catch at the end of the paper tray extender to open the extender the rest of the way.

Warning 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.

3. Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position.

Paper Tips

HP papers ● 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 onto transparency film.

● HP Iron-On Transfers: Flatten the transfer sheet completely before using it; do not load curled sheets. (To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until you are ready to use them.) Locate the blue stripe on the nonprinting side of the transfer paper and then manually feed one sheet at a time into the paper tray with the blue stripe facing up. (For printing from a software application only.)

● 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; slide the stack of cards forward until it stops. (For printing from a software application only.)

Labels (for printing from a

software application only)

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

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.

User Guide 19

● 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

When this occurs, an error message appears on your computer monitor (if you have the HP All-in-One software installed). Disconnect the camera, correct the problem on the camera and reconnect. For more information on PictBridge camera port troubleshooting, see the Troubleshooting Help that came with your HP Image Zone software.

Print photos from a digital camera

After you successfully connect your PictBridge-compliant camera to the HP All-inOne, you can print your photos. Make sure the size of the paper loaded in the HP Allin-One matches the setting on your camera. If the paper size setting on your camera is set to the default, the HP All-in-One uses the paper that is currently loaded in the paper tray. Refer to the user guide that came with your camera for detailed information on printing from the camera.

If your digital camera is an HP model that does not support PictBridge, you can still print directly to the HP All-in-One. Connect the camera to the USB port on the back of the HP All-in-One instead of to the camera port. This works with HP digital cameras only.

Increase copy speed or quality

The HP All-in-One provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.

● Fast (one star): copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of the Normal setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The Fast setting uses less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.

Note Fast is not available when the paper type is set to Photo.

● Normal (two stars): delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting

Use the copy features

for most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.

● Best (three stars): produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the other quality settings.

To change the copy quality from the control panel

1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the paper tray.

2. Load your original face down on the right front corner of the glass.

3. Press the Quality button to select fast (one star), normal (two stars), or best (three stars).

Maintain your HP All-in-One

The HP All-in-One requires little maintenance. Sometimes you might want to clean the glass and lid backing to remove surface dust and ensure that your copies and scans remain clear. You will also need to replace, align, or clean your print cartridges occasionally. This chapter provides instructions for keeping your HP All-in-One in top working condition. Perform these simple maintenance procedures as necessary.

Clean the HP All-in-One

To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, you might need to clean the glass and lid backing. You might also want to dust the exterior of the HP All-in-One.

Clean the glass

Dirty glass from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and dust slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Resize to Fit.

1. Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.

2. Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.

Warning Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon

tetrachloride on the glass; they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass; the liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.

Maintain your HP All-in-One

3. Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.

Clean the lid backing

Minor debris can accumulate on the white document backing located underneath the lid of the HP All-in-One.

1. Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.

2. Clean the white document backing with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water.

Wash the backing gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub the backing.

3. Dry the backing with a chamois or soft cloth.

Warning Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the

backing.

4. If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.

Warning Be careful not to spill alcohol on the glass or painted parts of

the HP All-in-One, as this might damage the device.

User Guide 41

Chapter 11

Clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.

Warning To avoid damage to painted parts of the HP All-in-One, do not use

Use the print cartridge protector

In some countries/regions, when you purchase a photo print cartridge, you might also receive a print cartridge protector. In other countries/regions, a print cartridge protector comes in the box with your HP All-in-One. If neither your print cartridge nor your HP All-in-One came with a print cartridge protector, you can order one from HP Support. Go to www.hp.com/support.

The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the HP All-in-One with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge protector. For example, store the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector if you are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color print cartridges.

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.

To remove the print cartridge from the print cartridge protector

➔

Press down and back on the top of the print cartridge protector to release the print cartridge, then slide the print cartridge out of the print cartridge protector.

48 HP PSC 1500 All-in-One series

Note If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One

will not align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.

To align newly installed print cartridges

1. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the paper tray. The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.

Note If you have colored paper loaded in the paper tray when you align

the print cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper into the paper tray, and then try the alignment again.

If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor or print cartridge. Contact HP Support. Go to: www.hp.com/support. If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

2. Load the print cartridge alignment sheet on the right front corner of the glass with the top of the page to the right.

3. Press the Start Scan button. The HP All-in-One aligns the print cartridges. Recycle or discard the print

cartridge alignment sheet.

Clean the print cartridges

Before cleaning the print cartridges, print a self test page. For more information, see

2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.

Warning If the paper tears when you are removing it from the

rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the device. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the HP All-in-One, more paper jams are likely to occur.

3. Replace the rear clean-out door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place.

4. Press Cancel / Resume to continue the current job.

Print cartridge troubleshooting

If you are experiencing problems with printing, you might have a problem with one of the print cartridges. Try the following:

1. Remove and reinsert the print cartridges and verify that they are fully inserted and locked in place.

2. If the problem persists, print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges.

This report provides useful information about your print cartridges, including status information.

3. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges.

4. If the problem persists, clean the copper-colored contacts of the print cartridges.

5. If you are still experiencing problems with printing, determine which print cartridge is experiencing the problem and replace it.

Hewlett-Packard LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

Duration of limited warranty

HP product Duration of limited warranty

Software 90 Days

Printer 1 Year

Print cartridges Until the HP ink is depleted or the “end of warranty” date printed

on the cartridge has been reached, whichever occurs first. This warranty does not cover HP ink products that have been refilled, remanufactured, refurbished, misused, or tampered with.

Accessories 90 days

Extent of limited warranty

Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end-user customer that the HP products specified above will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the duration specified above, which duration begins on the date of purchase by the customer.

For software products, HP’s limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any product will be uninterrupted or error free.

HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects that arise as a result of normal use of the product, and does not cover any other problems, including those that arise as a result of: a. Improper maintenance or modification; b. Software, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; c. Operation outside the product’s specifications; d. Unauthorized modification or misuse.

For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage.

If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the product, at HP’s option.

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 may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.

HP’s Limited Warranty Statement is valid in any country/region where the covered HP product is distributed by HP. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer.
