use a photo memory card

The 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 21

• insert a memory card and save the files to your computer on page 22

• print photos from a proof sheet on page 23

• set photo print options on page 26

• print photos directly from a memory card on page 28

• view photos in a slide show on page 31

• share digital photos through hp instant share on page 32

• use the hp photo & imaging gallery on page 33

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.

Note: You can scan a document and send the scanned image to an

inserted memory card. See send the scan to a memory card loaded in your

hp psc on page 53 for details.

Your HP PSC features four slots for memory cards, shown in the illustration on the next page, with the memory cards that correspond to each slot.

chapter 3

The slots are configured as follows:

• Top left slot: CompactFlash (I, II)

• Top right slot: Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC)

• Bottom left slot: SmartMedia, xD (fits in top right of the slot)

• Bottom right slot: Memory Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick

Duo (with user-supplied adapter), Memory Stick Pro

Warning! 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 card in your camera or select FAT format to format your card in a Windows XP PC.

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.

Note: You can only use one memory card in your HP PSC at a time.

1 Insert 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 begins to blink.

If you insert a memory card backwards, the LED next to the card slots blinks amber and the color graphics display might display an error message such as “Card is in backwards” or “Card is not fully inserted.”

2 Reading photos... appears on the color graphics display. The LED next to

the card slots blinks green when the card is being accessed.

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 LED next to the slots remains on and is not blinking.

hp psc 2400 series

use a photo memory card

3 If there are photo files on the card that have never been transferred

before, a pop-up on your computer asks you whether you want to save the photo files to your computer.

4 Click the option to save.

This saves all the new photos from the memory card to your computer by using the HP PSC software.

Note: You can also use the front panel to transfer memory card files to an

attached computer. Press Photo, and then 8 to choose Transfer to computer. Follow the prompts on the computer. In addition, the memory card appears as a drive on your computer. You can go to your computer and simply move the photo files from the memory card “drive” to the desktop.

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 at the location Hard Drive:Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos folder (OS 9) or Hard Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos folder (OS X).

If there are no new files, when the HP PSC finishes reading the card, the Photo button stops blinking and stays on. The LED next to the card slots remains on. The first photo on the card appears on the color graphics display.

To navigate through the photos on the card, press or to move backward or forward through the photos, one photo at a time. Press and hold or

to move rapidly backward or forward through the photos.

Just start the HP Director and click HP Gallery. Click the Make CD tab to begin collecting, organizing, and cataloging your images on CDs.

print photos from a proof sheet

A proof sheet is a simple and convenient way to select photos and 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. The file name, index number, and date appear under each thumbnail. Proof sheets are also a quick way to create a printed catalog of your digital photos.

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. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos. When you want to print regular text documents, swap the black print cartridge back in.

For more information, see order supplies on page 77.

Do you want to do more than just print your photos? You can enhance and edit digital photos before printing them by using the HP Image Editor available through the HP Director. Just start the HP Director and click HP Gallery. Select the photo you want to edit, and click Image Editor in the top pane. Add text or special effects to the photo, improve a poor quality photo, or get rid of red eye. Macintosh users can simply double-click an image in the HP Gallery to open it for editing in an Image Window.

print a DPOF file

The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be created by some digital cameras. Camera-selected photos are photos you marked for printing with your digital camera. When you select photos with your camera, the camera creates a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) file that identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your HP PSC 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 Digital Print Order Format (DPOF). Your HP PSC supports DPOF file format 1.1.

When you print camera-selected photos, the HP PSC print settings do not apply; the settings in the DPOF file for photo layout and number of copies override those of your HP PSC.

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 be printed

hp psc 2400 series

to print camera-selected photos 1 Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP PSC. If there

are DPOF-tagged photos on the card, the Print DPOF Photos prompt appears on the color graphics display.

Tip: If you want to print the photo currently being viewed in a

slide show, press Start Black or Start Color while it is being displayed.

increase copy speed or quality

The HP PSC 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 of comparable quality

to the Normal setting, but the graphics might be of lower quality. Using Fast cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges, because it uses less ink.

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, text documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass.

Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it into your word processor or graphics application and modify it to suit your needs. You can do the following:

• Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report,

saving you a lot of retyping.

• Scan a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to print

business cards and brochures for yourself.

• Scan photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a

photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic

scrapbook. To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer must be connected and

turned on. The HP PSC software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP PSC software is running on a Windows PC, look for the hp psc 2400 series icon in the system tray at the lower right side of the screen, next to the time. On a Macintosh, the HP PSC software is always running.

You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP PSC. This section explains how to scan from the front panel of the HP PSC only.

For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen hp photo & imaging help that came with your software.

Depending on how you set up your HP PSC, you can receive faxes automatically or manually. Your HP PSC is set to automatically print received faxes unless you have selected No Answer for the Rings to Answer setting. For more information on Rings to Answer, see set number of rings before answering on page 59.

If you receive a legal-size fax and your HP PSC is not currently set to use legalsize paper, the device automatically reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled the automatic-reduction feature, the fax will be printed on two pages. For more information, see set automatic reduction for

incoming faxes on page 68.

If you have an answering machine connected to the same line as your HP PSC, you might need to set the number of rings required before the HP PSC begins receiving the fax. The default number of rings before the HP PSC receives a fax is 6 (varies by country/region). For more information on setting the number of rings to answer, see set number of rings before answering on page 59.

You might also want to set up your HP PSC to answer fax calls manually if you have a voice mail service through your phone company.

ECM eliminates data lost due to poor phone lines by detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. Turn ECM off (the default setting is on) only if it increases phone charges substantially and you are willing to accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.
