Tips for print success

Ink tips

Use original HP ink cartridges.

Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

For more information, see Replace ink cartridges on page 39.

Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink. For more information, see Check estimated ink levels on page 36.

If the print quality is not acceptable, see Improve print quality on page 50 for more information.

Paper loading tips

Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be the same size and type to avoid a paper jam.

Load paper with side to be printed on facing up.

Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

For more information, see Load media on page 22.

Printer settings tips

On the Paper/Quality tab, select the appropriate paper type and print quality from the Media drop-down list.

Select the appropriate paper size from the Paper Size drop-down list in the Advanced Options dialog box. Access the Advanced Options dialog box by clicking the Advanced button on the Layout or Paper/Quality tab.

To change default print settings, click Print & Scan, and then click Set Preferences in the printer software.

Depending on your operating system, do one of the following to open the printer software:

Windows 8: On the Start screen, right-click an empty area on the screen, click All Apps on the app bar, and then click the icon with the printer's name.

Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All Programs, click HP, click HP Deskjet 1510 series, and then click HP Deskjet 1510 series.
