Print panoramic photos

Note 1 Panoramic mode is not supported when printing from a digital camera connected to the camera port on the front of the printer with a USB cable.

Note 2 If you have installed the HP Photosmart Premier software on your Windows 2000 or XP computer, you can create stitched panoramic photos.

HP Photosmart Premier is only available on some models. For more information about the software options available with the printer, see Install the software.

To create panoramic photos

Stitch several photos together

➔Use image editing software, such as HP Photosmart Premier, to stitch overlapping photos together to form a 10 x 30 cm (4 x 12 inch) photo. (Alternatively, some digital cameras can stitch several shots together into one photo before saving the photo to a memory card.) Then save the photo to a memory card and use the steps below to turn on panoramic mode, or print directly from the computer. Panoramic mode prints the selected photo with a 3:1 aspect ratio. For more information about printing from the computer, see the electronic Help.
