Load originals and load paper
This chapter provides instructions for loading originals on the glass to copy, scan, or
fax; 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 letter- or A4-size originals by loading them on the glass,
as described here. You should also follow these instructions when loading a proof
sheet on the glass for photo printing.
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.
To load an original on the glass
1.Lift the lid and place your original face down on the right front corner of the glass.
If you are loading a proof sheet, make sure the top of the proof sheet is lined up
against the right edge of the glass.
Tip For more help on loading an original, refer to the guides along the
front and right edges of the glass.
2.Close the lid.
Tip You can copy or scan oversized originals by completely removing the
lid from your HP All-in-One. To remove the lid, lift the lid to the open
position, grasp the sides of the lid, and then pull the lid upward. Your
HP All-in-One functions normally with the lid removed. Replace the lid by

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.

see the HP website:
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
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 cause
paper jams).
●Banner paper.
Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.
We do not recommend copying to the following papers:
●Any size paper other than letter, A4, 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch), 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7
inch), Hagaki (Japan only), or L (Japan only). Depending on your country/region,
some of these papers might not be available to you.
●Panoramic papers.
●Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with
HP inkjet devices).
●Envelopes.
●Banner paper.
●Transparency film (other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or
HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film).
●Multiple-part forms or label stock.

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 to transparency film
before printing or copying 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 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.
LabelsAlways use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet
devices (such as Avery inkjet labels), 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. For printing from a
software application only.
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 lies 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.

Use a memory card or
PictBridge camera
The HP All-in-One can access the memory cards used in most digital cameras so you
can print, store, and manage your photos. You can insert the memory card into the
HP All-in-One, or connect your camera directly, letting the HP All-in-One read the
contents of the memory card while it is still in the camera.
This chapter contains information on using memory cards or a PictBridge camera with
your HP All-in-One. Read this chapter for information on transferring photos to your
computer, setting photo print options, printing photos, and editing photos.
The memory card slots and camera port
If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the memory
card in your HP All-in-One to print or save your photos. You can also connect a digital
camera that supports PictBridge to the HP All-in-One through the camera port and
print directly from the camera.
Tip You can print a proof sheet, which might be several pages long and
shows thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card, to print photos
from the memory card, even if your HP All-in-One is not connected to a
computer.
Your HP All-in-One can read the following memory cards: CompactFlash (I, II),
Memory Sticks, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD-Picture
Card.
The following illustration shows the corresponding memory card slot for each
supported memory card.
Memory Card and PictBridge
User Guide35
Chapter 6
Memory Card and PictBridge
The slots are configured as follows (from top to bottom):
●SmartMedia, xD-Picture Card (fits in bottom right of the slot)
●Camera port (to the right of the memory card slots): compatible with any USB-
equipped digital camera that supports PictBridge. Look for the PictBridge icon
).
(
Note The camera port only supports USB-equipped digital cameras that
support PictBridge. It does not support other types of USB devices. If you
attach a USB device that is not a compatible digital camera to the camera port,
an error message appears on the control panel display. If you have an older
HP camera that does not support PictBridge, try using the USB cable that
came with the camera. Plug it into the USB port on the back of the HP All-inOne and not into the camera port near the memory card slots.
Tip By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less and
64 MB or more with the FAT32 format. Digital cameras and other devices use
the FAT (FAT16 or FAT12) format and cannot operate with a FAT32 formatted
card. Either format your memory card in your camera or select FAT format to
format your memory card in a Windows XP computer.
36HP PSC 1600 All-in-One series
Transfer photos to your computer
After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or
save them directly to your computer. To save them to your computer, you need to
remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in the appropriate memory
card slot on the HP All-in-One.
Note You can only use one memory card at a time in your HP All-in-One.
To use a memory card
1.Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP All-in-One.
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the status light next to the memory
card slots begins to blink. Reading card... appears on the control panel display.
The status light next to the memory card slots blinks green when the card is being
accessed.
If you insert a memory card incorrectly, the status light next to the memory card
slots blinks amber and the control panel display shows an error message such as
Card is in backwards or Card is not fully inserted.
Caution 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 status light next to the slots is not blinking.
2.If there are photo files on the memory card that have never been transferred
before, a dialog box on your computer asks whether you want to save the photo
files to your computer.
3.Click the option to save.
This saves all the new photos from the memory card to your computer.
For Windows: by default, photo files are saved in month and year folders from
when you extracted the files from your camera. The folders are created in a 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 at Hard
Drive:Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos (OS 9) or Hard
Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos (OS X).
When the HP All-in-One finishes reading the memory card, the status light next to
the memory card slots stops blinking and stays lit. The name of the first file on the
memory card appears on the control panel display.
To navigate through the files on the memory card, press
backward or forward through the files, one file at a time. Press and hold
to move rapidly backward or forward through the files.

memory card slots is illuminated. The status light blinks green when printing
from the camera.
For more information about printing from a PictBridge-compatible digital
camera, see the documentation that came with your camera.
If the camera is not PictBridge-compliant or is not in PictBridge mode, the
status light blinks amber and 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 about PictBridge camera port troubleshooting, see the
Troubleshooting Help that came with your HP Image Zone software.
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.
Tip 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.
Print the current photo
You can use the Print Photos button to print the file currently displayed on the control
panel display.
1.Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP All-in-One.
2.Navigate to the photo file name you want to print.
3.Press Print Photos to print the photo using the current settings.
Print a DPOF file
The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be created
by some digital cameras. When you select photos with your camera, the camera
creates a DPOF file that identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your
44HP PSC 1600 All-in-One series
HP All-in-One can read the DPOF file from the memory card so you do not have to
reselect the photos to print.
Note Not all digital cameras allow you to tag your photos for printing. See
your digital camera documentation to see if it supports DPOF. Your HP All-inOne supports DPOF file format 1.1.
When you print camera-selected photos, the HP All-in-One print settings do not apply;
the settings in the DPOF file for photo layout and number of copies override those of
your HP All-in-One.
The DPOF file is stored by the digital camera on a memory card and specifies the
following information:
●Which photos to print
●The quantity of each photo to print
●Rotation applied to a photo
●Cropping applied to a photo
●Index printing (thumbnails of selected photos)
To print camera-selected photos
1.Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP All-in-One. If there
are DPOF-tagged photos, the Print DPOF? prompt appears on the control panel
display.
2.Do one of the following:
–Press OK to print all DPOF-tagged photos on the memory card. This selects
Yes and prints the photos using the DPOF settings.
–
Press
and then press OK. This selects NO and bypasses DPOF printing.

Use the copy features
The HP All-in-One allows you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white
copies on a variety of paper types, including transparencies. You can enlarge or
reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the darkness and color
intensity of the copy, and use special features to make high-quality copies of photos,
including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) borderless copies.
This chapter provides instructions for increasing copy speed, enhancing copy quality,
setting the number of copies to print, guidelines for choosing the best paper type and
size for your job, making posters, and making iron-on transfers.
Tip For the best copy performance on standard copy projects, set the paper
size to Letter or A4, the paper type to Plain Paper, and the copy quality to Fast.

Increase copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.
●Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of
your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.
●Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding
(striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies more slowly
than the other quality settings.
●Fast 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.

Use the scan features
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles, and text
documents, as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass on your HP All-in-One.
Scanning to a memory card makes your scanned images even more portable.
You can use the scanning features of your HP All-in-One to do the following:
●Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report.
●Print business cards and brochures by scanning a logo and using it in your
publishing software.
●Send photos to friends and relatives by scanning your favorite prints and
including them in e-mail messages.
●Create a photographic inventory of your house or office, or archive treasured
photos in an electronic scrapbook.
Note Scanning text (also known as optical character recognition or OCR) lets
you bring the content of magazine articles, books, and other printed matter into
your favorite word processor (and many other programs) as fully editable text.
Learning to do OCR right is important if you want to obtain the best results. Do
not expect scanned text documents to be perfect the first time you use your
OCR software. Using OCR software is an art that takes time and practice to
master. For more information about scanning documents, especially
documents containing both text and graphics, see the documentation that
came with your OCR software.
To use the scan features, your HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a
Windows computer, look for the HP All-in-One icon in the system tray at the lower
right side of the screen, near the time. On a Macintosh, the HP All-in-One software is
always running.
Note Closing the Hewlett-Packard Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the
Windows system tray can cause your HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan
functionality and result in the No Connection error message. If this happens,
you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the
HP Image Zone software.
For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize,
rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that
came with your software.

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
Fingerprints, smudges, hair, and other debris on the glass or lid backing slow down
performance and affect the accuracy of special features such as Fit to Page. 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 Fit to Page.
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.
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.
3.Wash the backing gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub the backing.
4.Dry the backing with a chamois or soft cloth.
Warning Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the
backing.
5.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 Guide75
Maintain your HP All-in-One
Chapter 12
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
alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the control panel, lid, or other
painted parts of the device.
Check the estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace a print cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the print cartridges.
Tip You can also print a self-test report to see if your print cartridges might
need to be replaced. For more information, see Print a self-test report.
To check the ink levels from the HP Director (Windows)
1.In the HP Director, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click Printer
Toolbox.
Note You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties
dialog box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Services tab, and
then click Service this device.

printing problem. A sample of the ink test area of the report is shown below.
5.Make sure the test patterns are even and show a complete grid.
If more than a few lines in a pattern are broken, this might indicate a problem with
the nozzles. You might need to clean the print cartridges. For more information,
see Clean the print cartridges.
6.Make sure the lines of color extend across the page.
If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate a
problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot.
If any of the remaining three lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this
might indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot.
7.Make sure the color blocks have even consistency and are representative of the
colors listed below.
You should see cyan, magenta, yellow, violet, green, and red color blocks.
If color blocks are missing, or if a block of color is muddy or does not match the
label indicated below the block, this might indicate that the tri-color print cartridge
is out of ink. You might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information
on replacing print cartridges, see Replace the print cartridges.
8.Check the color blocks and lines of color for streaking or white lines.
Streaks might indicate clogged nozzles or dirty contacts. You might need to clean
the print cartridges. For more information on cleaning the print cartridges, see
Clean the print cartridges. Do not clean with alcohol.
Note For examples of test patterns, lines of color, and color blocks from
normal and malfunctioning print cartridges, see the onscreen HP Image Zone
Help that came with your software.

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
1.Slide the print cartridge into the print cartridge protector at a slight angle and snap
it securely into place.
2.Store the print cartridge protector in the print cartridge storage area of the HP Allin-One for safe keeping. Open the print-carriage access door and place the print
cartridge protector in the device, as shown below.

cartridges ensures high-quality output.
Note If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One
will not prompt you to 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
