To get the most benefit from  Maximum dpi mode, use it to print high-quality images such 
as digital photographs. When you select the  Maximum dpi setting, the printer software 
displays the optimized dots per inch (dpi) that the HP All-in-One will print. 
Printing in  Maximum dpi takes longer than printing with other settings and requires a 
large amount of disk space.
NOTE: If a photo print cartridge is also installed, the print quality is enhanced. A 
photo print cartridge can be purchased separately if it is not included with the HP All- 
in-One. Photo print cartridges are not supported on all models of the product.

							Print a multiple-page document in reverse order
Because of the way the paper feeds through the HP All-in-One, the first page that prints 
is print side up at the bottom of the stack. Usually this means you need to put the printed 
pages in the correct order.
A better way is to print the document in reverse order so that the pages are stacked
correctly.

every time you print a multiple-page document.
