1 Welcome

Thank you for purchasing an HP Photosmart D7100 series printer! With this new photo printer you can print beautiful photos, save photos to a computer, and create fun and easy projects with or without a computer.

This guide primarily explains how to print without connecting a computer. To learn how to print from a computer, install the printer software and view the electronic Help. For an overview of using a computer and the printer together, see Printing from a computer. For information about installing the software, see the Quick Start guide.

Home users can learn how to:

●Print borderless photos from the printer or from a computer

●Choose a photo layout

●Convert a color photo to black and white, or apply a color effect such as Sepia or Antique

The printer comes with the following documentation:

●Quick Start Guide: The Quick Start Guide explains how to set up the printer, install the printer software, and print your first photo.

●User Guide: The User Guide is the book you are reading. This guide describes the basic features of the printer, explains how to use the printer without connecting a computer, and contains hardware troubleshooting information.

●Onscreen help: The onscreen HP Photosmart help describes how to use the printer with a computer and contains software troubleshooting information.

Special features

New features and media make it easier than ever to produce high-quality photos:

●When you use the new HP Advanced Photo Paper (also called HP Photo Paper in some countries/regions), special sensors in the printer detect a mark on the back of the paper and automatically select the optimal print settings. For more information about this new paper, see Choose the right paper.

●HP Real Life technologies make it easy for you to get better photos. Automatic red eye removal and adaptive lighting to enhance detail in shadows are just a few of the many technologies included. You can explore the many editing and enhancing options from both the control panel and from the printer software. To access these features from the control panel, see Improving photo quality. To learn how to find them in the software, see HP Real Life technologies features.
