Before you can begin printing, there are some easy procedures you need to become
familiar with:
●Loading paper (see Loading Paper)
●Inserting print cartridges (see Inserting Print Cartridges)
●Connecting the camera (see Connecting the Camera)
You must load paper, insert a print cartridge, and connect a camera with images in its
internal memory or on its memory card before you can print.

To keep your paper in good condition for printing:

plastic bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction until it lies flat.
●Hold photo paper by the edges to avoid smears.

Paper loading tips:
●You can print on photo paper, index cards, or L-size cards.
●Before loading paper, slide out the paper-width guide to make room for the paper.
●Load only one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or sizes in
the In tray.
●Do not load more than 10 sheets of 10 x 30 cm (4 x 12 inches) photo paper for
panoramic printing (possible only when printing from a computer). Loading more
than ten sheets can cause paper feed problems.

white. HP provides different types of print cartridges so you can choose the best
cartridge for your project. The cartridge number varies by country/region. Choose the
correct cartridge number for your country/region.
NoteThe cartridge numbers you can use with this printer appear on the back
cover of the printed Printer Users Manual. If you have already used the printer
several times, you can also find the cartridge numbers in the HP Photosmart
software. Windows users: Right-click the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon on
the far right of the Windows taskbar and select Launch/Show HP Solution
Center. Click Settings and select Print Settings > Printer Toolbox. Click the
Estimated Ink Levels tab and then click Print Cartridge Information.

Supplies from the pop-up menu.
HP Vivera Inks deliver true-to-life print quality and exceptional fade resistance
resulting in vivid colors that last. HP Vivera Inks are specially-formulated and
scientifically tested for quality, purity and fade resistance.
For optimum printing results, HP recommends using only genuine HP print cartridges.
Genuine HP print cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you
easily produce great results, time after time.

CautionCheck that you are using the correct print cartridge. HP cannot
guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. Printer service or repairs
required as a result of printer failure or damage attributable to the use of non-

							Remove the Pink Tape:
Do Not Touch Here
Prepare the printer and cartridge:
1. Make sure the power is on and you have removed the cardboard from inside the
printer.
2. Open the print cartridge access door of the printer.
3. Remove the bright pink tape from the cartridge.
Insert the cartridge:
1. If you are replacing a cartridge, push down and pull outward on the cartridge in
the cradle to remove it.
2. Hold the replacement cartridge with the label on top. Slide the cartridge at a slight
upward angle into the cradle so the copper-colored contacts go in first. Push the
cartridge until it snaps into place.
3. Close the print cartridge access door.
The camera Image Display shows an icon with the approximate ink level for the
installed cartridge (100–66%, 65–33%, or 32–0%). No ink-level icon appears if the
cartridge is not a genuine HP cartridge.
Each time you install or replace a print cartridge, a message appears on the camera
Image Display asking you to load plain paper so the printer can align the cartridge.
This ensures high-quality prints.

							Align the cartridge:
1. Load paper in the In tray and press OK.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to align the cartridge.
See Aligning the Print Cartridge.
Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge
protector. The cartridge protector keeps the ink from drying out. Storing the cartridge
improperly can cause the cartridge to malfunction.
In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer, but
comes with the HP Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In other
countries/regions, the protector is included with the printer.
Store the cartridge when it is not in the printer:
➔
To insert a cartridge into the cartridge protector, slide the cartridge into the
protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.
Connecting the Camera
To print images you have taken with the camera, you need to dock the camera on the
printer.
NoteYou can also connect a PictBridge-certified camera to the camera port
on the front of the printer (using the USB cable that came with the PictBridge-
certified camera) and print images from it, but you cannot have the
HP Photosmart 420 series GoGo Photo Studio camera in the camera dock and
a second PictBridge camera connected to the camera port at the same time.

							Dock the camera on the printer:
1. Open the camera dock cover, if necessary.
2. Hold the camera so the camera Image Display faces you and the bottom of the
camera is down.
3. Make sure the camera is turned off.
4. Press the camera into the dock so that the connector tab in the camera dock
plugs into the connector slot on the bottom of the camera.
5. In most cases, docking the camera turns on both the printer and the camera. If it
does not, press the On button on the printer control panel.
NoteWhile the camera is docked, the camera Image Display dims after eight
minutes of inactivity. The camera Image Display turns back on if a print job is
sent from a connected computer or device with Bluetooth wireless technology,
or if you press any button on the HP PhotosmartGoGo Photo Studio. After ten
idle minutes, the camera Image Display turns off completely. Press the On
button on the printer control panel to wake the display.
