The memory card has a Photo light (below the camera icon) that indicates the status
of the memory card. When it is solid green, your photos are ready to be viewed.
CAUTION: Do not pull out the memory card while the Photo light is flashing. A
flashing light means the product is accessing the memory card. Wait until the light
remains solid. Removing a memory card while it is being accessed might corrupt
information on the card or damage the product or memory card.
NOTE: The product only recognizes the JPG and TIF file formats on your memory
card.
Print photos
The HP All-in-One enables you to print one borderless or bordered photo per page directly
from your memory card, without first having to transfer the files to a computer.

specifically designed for the type of project you are printing along with genuine HP
ink. HP papers and HP ink are specifically designed to work well together to provide
high-quality output.

Print photos from the HP Photosmart Software
You can use the HP Photosmart Software installed on your computer to transfer photos
from a memory card to your computer’s hard drive for advanced photo editing, sharing
photos online, and printing from your computer.
Before transferring photos to your computer, you need to remove the memory card from
your digital camera and insert it in the appropriate memory card slot on the HP All-in-One.

HP Photosmart Software installed on it.

Print camera-selected (DPOF) photos
Camera-selected photos are photos you marked for printing with your digital camera.
When you select photos with your camera, t he camera saves an industry-standard Digital
Print Order Format (DPOF) file on the memory card that identifies which photos have
been tagged for printing.
The DPOF file on your memory card specifies the following information:
• Which photos to print
• The quantity of each photo to print
• Rotation applied to a photo
• Cropping applied to a photo
• Index printing (thumbnails of selected photos)
The HP All-in-One can read DPOF file format 1.1 from a memory card so you do not have
to reselect the photos to print. When you print camera-selected photos, the HP All-in-One
print settings do not apply; the settings in the DPOF file for photo layout and number of
copies override those of the HP All-in-One.

Change copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One, provides three options, indicated by one, two, or three stars, that affect
copy speed and quality:
• One star copies faster than the other two quality settings. On plain paper, the text is
comparable to the quality of two stars, but the graphics might be of lower quality. This
setting uses less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.
NOTE: This setting is not available when the HP All-in-One detects photo paper.
•Two stars delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of
your copying. Two stars copies faster than the three stars quality setting.
• Three stars produces the highest quality output for all paper and eliminates the
banding (striping) effect that sometimes  occurs in solid areas. Three stars copies
slower than the other quality settings.
To change the copy quality
1. Load paper in the input tray.
