photo memory card troubleshooting
If your HP PSC is connected to a computer, an error message might appear if there are problems with the proof sheet or photo memory card features. If your HP PSC is not connected to a computer, the amber Photo Error light might blink, but there will be no error messages to inform you about the specific cause of the problem. Here are some problems you might encounter at each stage of using a memory card and proof sheet to produce prints.
