The status window is similar to the display included on the front panel of your HP PSC. It describes the current state of your HP PSC, and it is always available by right-clicking the status icon in the Windows status area (lower-right corner of the Windows taskbar). One of the default settings for your HP PSC instructs the computer to display the status window automatically if there is an issue that needs to be addressed, such as your
HP PSC being out of paper.
Depending on the current state of your HP PSC, a different icon appears in the Windows status area. Right-clicking an icon displays a shortcut menu that lets you display the status window or close the HP PSC software.

|
|
HP papers |
• HP Premium Inkjet paper: Locate the gray arrow on the |
|
|
|
nonprinting side of the paper, and insert paper with the arrow |
|
|
side facing up. |
|
• HP Premium or Premium Plus Photo Paper: Load the glossy |
|

|
|

|
• |

|
|
completely before using it; do not load curled sheets. (To prevent |
|
|
curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until |

|
|
unprinted side facing down (the blue stripe faces up). |
|
• |

Your HP PSC provides two methods for working with envelopes. Do not use shiny or embossed envelopes or envelopes that have clasps or windows.
•If you are printing one envelope, use the envelope slot. Slide the envelope into the envelope slot, which is located on the right side toward the back of the output tray. The envelope should be inserted with the flap up and the flap positioned on the left, as shown in the illustration. Insert the leading edge of the envelope on the top of the output tray until it stops.
•If you are printing multiple envelopes, remove all paper from the input tray, and then slide a stack of envelopes into the tray, with the envelope flaps up and to the left (print-side down), until they stop.
