2HOW TO PRINT

1Check your print settings in the HP print settings box. (See page 9 to find out how to get to the box.)

If you’re printing one copy, on plain paper with portrait orientation, the default settings will work fine for you. (Chapters 2 and 3 explain why you might want to change the settings for different types of printing.)
