HP Photosmart Software or another application, set the paper type and size, and then
print.
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film and HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency
Film

top and is going into the input tray first.
NOTE: For best results, set the paper type to transparency film before printing
on transparency film.

TIP: To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until
you are ready to use them.

peel off when the paper is pulled through the HP Photosmart, causing subsequent
paper jams.

surface of specially coated CDs and DVDs for print jobs started from a connected
computer. You can design and create a custom label for your CD or DVD using the
software that came with the HP Photosmart. You can then print the label on your printable
CD or DVD media.
TIP: It is recommended that you write your da ta to the CD or DVD before printing
the label on it.
NOTE: The HP Photosmart does not support a CD/DVD print job started from the
control panel.

line up to the white lines on the CD/DVD tray.
NOTE: The HP Photosmart pulls the CD/DVD holder while printing on the media.
The CD/DVD holder might protrude about 7.5 cm (3 inches) at the back of the
device. If the HP Photosmart is placed close to a wall, move it at least 3 inches
away from the wall.
NOTE: Refer to the software that came with the HP Photosmart for printing on CD/
DVDs.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
• Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing  all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
• If you are printing labels, ensure that th e label sheets are no more than two years old.
Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the
HP Photosmart, and cause paper jams.
• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure
the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the HP Photosmart.

Set the paper size
The  Size setting helps the HP Photosmart determine the printable area on the page.
Some of the paper size choices have a borderless equivalent, which allows you to print
to the top, bottom, and side edges of the paper.
Usually, you set the paper size in the software application you used to create your
document or project. However, if you are using custom-size paper, or if you cannot set
