Photo media

•Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer and more memory is required from your computer.

•Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.

Transparencies

•Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing towards the back of the device.

•Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.

Custom-sized media

•Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.

•If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the printer driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom- sized media.

Understand specifications for supported media

Use the Understand supported sizes and Understand supported media types and weights tables to determine the correct media to use with your device, and determine what features will work with your media.

Always use the correct media-type settings in the printer driver, and configure the trays for the correct media type. HP recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities.
