Guidelines

●For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri-color print cartridge.

●For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and install a photo print cartridge in the printer.

●Learn how to use the available photo printing features.

●Use HP Everyday Photo Paper, Semi-glossto save money and ink when printing photos.

●Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage instructions.

●Do not exceed the In-tray capacity: 80 sheets of photo paper.

Prepare to print

1.Slide the paper-width guide to the left.

2.Pull the paper lever forward and insert the photo paper.

The side of the photo paper to be printed on should face outward.

Note If the photo paper has a tear-off tab, the tab must point up rather than leading into the printer.
