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.
For more information about HP papers, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help, or 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.
Labels Always 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 Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo (with user-supplied
adapter), Memory Stick Pro
CompactFlash (I, II)
Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC)
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.

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.

You can insert a memory card in your HP All-in-One and use the control panel to print photos. For information on printing photos on your HP All-in-One from a PictBridge­compatible camera, see Print photos from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera.
This section contains information on the following topics: printing individual photos, creating borderless photos, and deselecting photos.
Note Before printing photos, you should select options for photo
enhancement and set the paper type. For more information, see Set photo
print options. You might also want to use the photo print cartridge for superior
print quality. For more information, see Use a photo print cartridge.
You can do more than print your photos if you use the HP Image Zone software. This software lets you use photos for iron-on transfers, posters, banners, stickers, and other creative projects. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help file that came with your software.

Print photos from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera

The HP All-in-One supports the PictBridge standard, which lets you connect any PictBridge-compatible camera to the camera port and print JPEG photos contained on the memory card in the camera.
Note Your HP All-in-One only supports JPEG file formats when printing from
the PictBridge port. For more information about changing the file format on

your PictBridge-compatible digital camera, see the documentation that came with your camera.
1. Make sure the HP All-in-One is turned on and that the initialization process is finished.
2. Connect your PictBridge-compatible digital camera to the camera port on the front of your HP All-in-One using the USB cable supplied with your camera.
3. Turn on your camera and make sure it is in PictBridge mode.
Note When the camera is connected correctly, the status light next to the
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
44 HP 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.

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.
This chapter contains information on sending a scan to and from different destinations, and adjusting the preview image.

This enables you to use the memory card features to generate borderless prints and album pages from the scanned image. It also enables you to access the scanned image from other devices that support the memory card.

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 Guide 75
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.
2. Click the Estimated Ink Level tab. The estimated ink levels for the print cartridges appear.
To check the ink levels from the HP Image Zone software (Macintosh)
1. In the HP Director (OS 9) or HP Image Zone (OS X), choose Settings, and then choose Maintain Printer.
2. If the Select Printer dialog box appears, select your HP All-in-One, and then click Utilities.
3. From the pop-up menu, choose Ink Level. The estimated ink levels for the print cartridges appear.

Print a self-test report

If you are experiencing problems with printing, print a self-test report before you replace the print cartridges. This report provides useful information on several aspects of your device, including your print cartridges.
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the paper tray.
2. Press Setup until Print Report appears, and then press OK.
Self-Test Report appears.
Maintain your HP All-in-One
76 HP PSC 1600 All-in-One series
3. Press OK.
4. The HP All-in-One prints a self-test report, which might indicate the source of the 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.

cartridge protector.

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.

Align the print cartridges

The HP All-in-One prompts you to align cartridges every time you install or replace a print cartridge. You can also align the print cartridges at any time from the control panel or by using the HP Image Zone software on your computer. Aligning the print 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 print cartridges.
