If you install photo print cartridges, align the print cartridges for best possible print quality. You do not 
need to align the print cartridges every time you install a photo print cartridge, only when necessary. 
See Aligning the print cartridges.
To store a print cartridge, see Travel tips.
Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper reduce print quality.
Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 
10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag 
on a table edge until the paper is flat.
To print from a PictBridge-compatible camera
The printer supports standard PictBridge-compliant features. See your digital camera documentation for 
more information about using its PictBridge features. 
1.Connect the camera to the printer with the USB cable provided with the camera. The printer and 
camera compare features, and the compatible features are displayed on the camera.
2.Navigate through the camera menus to execute the desired photo-printing features.
To transfer photos to your computer
NOTE:The printer driver lets your computer read memory cards inserted into the printer as physical disk 
drives when you are connected with a USB cable. You can then access your photo files and print them 
with the software of your choice. (See Installing the printer software and sharing the printer (Windows).)
1.Insert the memory card into the correct card slot on the printer. Make sure the side of the card with the 
connecting pins or holes is placed into the printer first.
2.Press  (Cancel button) to cancel direct printing from the card. If your computer is connected to the 
printer with a USB cable, the card then appears as a drive in Windows Explorer or on the Mac OS 
desktop. You can then transfer the photo files to another drive on the computer or open and print your 
photographs with the software application of your choice.

							Using memory devices 37
Using memory devices
The following section provides information on printing from memory cards and USB Flash drives.
Printing from memory cards and USB Flash drives
If your digital camera uses a Type I CF card, SD card, or MMC, you can insert the card into the printer to 
print your photos. Your camera must support Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) version 1 or 1.1 in order to 
print directly from the card to the printer. See your digital camera documentation to see if it supports DPOF 
files and for additional instructions on printing photos. 
DPOF files are files created by digital cameras. They are stored on the camera’s memory card and contain 
information such as which images are selected to print and how many of each image are to be printed or 
saved. The printer can read a DPOF file from the memory card so you do not have to use the printer 
software to reselect the images to print or save.
DPOF files also automatically print directly from a USB Flash drive that is connected to the USB port of the 
printer.
You can also transfer photos from a memory card or a USB Flash drive onto your computer’s hard disk 
and print them from a software application such as HP Photo Printing Software.
For information on loading photo paper, see Loading media.
To print from a memory card
1.Select the images you want to print by creating a DPOF file while the memory card is still in your 
digital camera. The settings you can specify (such as number of copies) are specific to your camera. 
See your digital camera’s documentation for more information.
2.Turn on the printer.
3.Load the appropriate media. See Loading media.
4.Configure your desired print settings:
 Windows: Open the Toolbox (see Toolbox (Windows)). Click the Printer Services tab, and then 
click Print Settings. In the dialog box specify paper type, size, and print quality.
 Mac OS: Open the HP Printer Utility (see HP Printer Utility (Mac OS)). Click Direct Print Settings, 
and then in the dialog box specify paper type, size, and print quality.
NOTE:If you do not have the Toolbox or HP Printer Utility installed, print a configuration page to check 
printer media settings for direct printing. This information will verify whether you are loading the correct 
media size and type before printing. See Understanding device information pages.
 
						

							 Chapter 3 - Using the printer 38
5.Insert the card containing the DPOF file into the correct card slot on the printer. Make sure the side of 
the card with the connecting pins or holes is placed into the printer first.
CAUTION:If you do not insert the edge with card connector into the printer first, you can damage the 
card, the printer, or both.
The Resume light will blink after a few seconds if there is a DPOF file on the card.
6.Press  (Resume button) to print the images. The printer will automatically recognize the DPOF file on 
the memory card and print the images according to the specifications you set in the file. If it is a large 
file, the printer might take some time to print after you press  (Resume button).
CAUTION:Do not remove the memory card until the print job is completed. Otherwise the print job will 
be canceled.
NOTE:Printing might take several minutes, depending on print settings and the complexity of the image.
