							affordable professional photos with your HP printer. Original HP inks and HP
Advanced Photo Paper have been designed to work together so your photos are long
lasting and vivid, print after print. Great for printing out an entire vacation’s worth of
photos or multiple prints to share.
Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines:
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more
information, see 
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Load only one type of media at a time into a tray. If you place a special media on
top of a plain media, then you may end up with a paper jam or an incorrect print.
• For Tray 1 and Tray 2, load media print-side down, aligned against the back of the
tray. Center the media in the input tray, and adjust the paper-width guides. For
more information, see 
Load media.
NOTE:Tray 2 is sold as an accessory. For ordering information, see
Accessories.
• Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper.
• Do not overload the trays. For more information, see 
Understand specifications for
supported media. HP recommends loading special media no higher than 2/3 full.
• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following
media:
◦Multipart forms
◦Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
◦Media with cutouts or perforations
◦Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
◦Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
Cards and envelopes
• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or
windows. Also, avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or
areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
• Load envelopes with the flaps facing up and to the right or the back of the device.
Select print media17
 
						

							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.

							By default, the device draws media from Tray 1. If Tray 1 is empty, the device draws
media from Tray 2 (if it is installed and loaded with media). You can change this
default setting by using the following features:
•Tray Lock: Use this feature to protect special media such as letterhead or
preprinted media from accidental use. If the device runs out of media while printing
a document, it will not use media from a locked tray to complete the print job.
•Default Tray: Use this feature to determine the first tray from which the device
draws media.
NOTE:To use the Tray Lock and Default Tray settings, you must select the
automatic tray selection option in the device software. If the device is on a network
and you set a Default Tray, the setting will affect all users of the device.
Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper.
The following table lists possible ways you can use the tray settings to meet your
printing needs.

Print on both sides (duplexing)25
 
						

							Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more
information, see 
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Specify duplex options in your application or in the printer driver.
• Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy
media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m
2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/
m2). Jams might occur with these media types.
• Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides
of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and
prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the device
prints the first side of the media first. When you print from a computer using Mac
OS X, the device prints the second side first. Load the media with the front side
facing down.
• For auto-duplexing, when printing finishes on one side of the media, the device
holds the media and pauses while the ink dries. Once the ink dries, the media is
pulled back into the device and the second side is printed. When printing is
complete, the media is dropped onto the output tray. Do not grab it before printing
is complete.
• You can print on both sides of supported custom-sized media by turning the media
over and feeding it into the device again. For more information, see 
Understand
specifications for supported media.
Perform duplexing
NOTE:You can perform manual duplexing by first printing only the odd pages,
flipping the pages over, and then printing only the even pages.
To print automatically on both sides of a page (Windows)
1.Load the appropriate media. For more information, see 
Guidelines for printing on
both sides of a page and Load media.
2.Make sure the duplexer is properly installed. For more information, see
