Using the automatic paper-type sensor The automatic paper-type sensor automatically selects the print settings appropriate for the media in the printer, particularly when used with HP media. The sensor scans the first page of the loaded media, determines the media type, and selects the most suitable settings for your document, and then prints the document. NOTE:If you know the media type, you can select the media in the Paper Type drop-down list. Following are guidelines for using the automatic paper-type sensor: ●When printing with higher-quality media, it is recommended that you select the specific paper type in the printer driver. ●Do not place the printer in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can interfere with the automatic paper- type sensor. ●If you want to set the automatic paper-type sensor as your default setting, see Changing print settings on page 39. For Windows 1.Open the printer driver (see Printing a document on page 49). 2.Click the Features tab. 3.Select Automatic from the Paper Type drop-down list. 4.Change any other desired print settings and click OK.

On the Advanced tab, select Minimize Margins, and then reduce the document margins by adjusting the page setup settings in the application being used. ●HP Digital Photography: Improve the quality of your printed photographs.
