3 Use the HP Photosmart features
This chapter includes information about how to use the HP Photosmart for basic
operations. In addition, it provides instructions about how to load paper, view, select, and
print photos, and replace the ink cartridges.
Load paper
This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into
the HP Photosmart for your printouts.
TIP:To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in
a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored  properly, extreme changes in temperature
and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the
HP Photosmart.
Load full-size paper
You can load many types of letter or A4 paper into the main input tray of the
HP Photosmart.
To load full-size paper
1. Pull out the main input tray, and then slide the paper-width and paper-length guides
to their outermost positions.
2.Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper
for the following:
• Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
3. Insert the stack of paper into the main input tray with the short edge forward and the
print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops.

CAUTION:Make sure that the HP Photosmart is idle and silent when you load
paper into the main input tray. If the HP Photosmart is servicing the ink cartridges
or otherwise engaged in a task, the paper stop inside the device might not be in
place. You could push the paper too far forward, causing the HP Photosmart to
eject blank pages.
TIP: If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the print side
down. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead, refer to the diagram
engraved in the base of the main input tray.
4. Slide the paper-width and paper-length guides inward until they stop at the edges of
the paper.
Do not overload the main input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the main
input tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
5.Push the main input tray ba ck into the HP Photosmart.
6. Pull the output tray extender toward you, as far as it will go.
NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
You can load up to 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper into the photo tray of the
HP Photosmart. For the best results, use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) HP Premium Plus Photo
Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper.
To load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper in the photo tray
1.Raise the output tray, and then pull out the photo tray.

2.Insert the stack of photo paper into the photo tray with the short edge forward and the
print side down. Slide the stack of photo paper forward until it stops.
If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the
tabs are closest to you.
3. Slide the paper-length and paper-width guides inward against the stack of photo
paper until the guides stop.
Do not overload the photo tray; make sure the stack of photo paper fits within the
photo tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
4.Push in the photo tray, and then lower the output tray.
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.
• 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.
View, select, and print photos
You can view and select photos on your memory card or storage device before or while
printing them.
To view, select, and print photos

You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace an ink cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the ink cartridges.

ink levels in ink cartridges that are refilled or have been used in other devices might
not register accurately.
To check the ink levels from the control panel

cartridges is specially formulated to mix with the ink in the print head assembly at first-
time setup.
If you do not already have replacement ink cartridges for the HP Photosmart, you can
order them by clicking the  Shop for HP Supplies icon on your computer. On a Windows
computer this is located in the  HP folder in the  Start menu.

HP Photosmart directly into a power outlet.
• Test the power outlet to make sure it is working. Plug in an appliance that you know works,
and see if the appliance has power. If not, then there might be a problem with the power
outlet.
• If you plugged the HP Photosmart into a switched outlet, make sure the switch is on. If it is
