configuration parameters to devices on the network. On small networks, this
could be a router.
DNSDomain Name Service. When you use the Web or send an e-mail message,
you use a domain name to do it. Fo r example, the URL http://www.hp.com
contains the domain name hp.com. The  DNS on the Internet translates the
domain name into an IP address. Devices use the IP addresses to refer to
one another.

EthernetThe most common local network technology that connects computers using
copper cabling.
Ethernet cableThe cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The CAT-5
Ethernet cable is also known as a  straight-through cable. When using an
Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a router. An
Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
EWSEmbedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple way
to manage the HP Photosmart. You can monitor status, configure
HP Photosmart networking parameters, or access HP Photosmart features.
GatewayA computer or other device, such as  a router, that serves as an entrance to
the Internet or another network.
HEXHexadecimal. The base 16 numbering system , which uses the digits 0-9 plus
the letters A-F.
host computerThe computer at the center of a network.
HostnameThe TCP/IP name assigned by the installation software to the device. By
default, this is the letters HP followed  by the last 6 digits of the Media Access
Control (MAC) address.
hubNo longer commonly used in modern home networks, a hub takes its signal
from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers connected to
the hub. Hubs are passive; other devices on the network plug into the hub in
order to communicate with one another. A hub does not manage the network.
IP addressA number that uniquely identifies the  device on the network. IP addresses
are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a
static IP address, though this is not recommended.
MAC addressMedia Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the
HP Photosmart. This is a unique 12-d igit identification number assigned to
networking hardware for identification.  No two pieces of hardware have the
same MAC address.
network nameThe SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.
NICNetwork Interface Card. A card on your computer that provides an Ethernet
connection so that you can connect  your computer to a network.
RJ-45 connectorThe connector on the ends of an Ethernet cable. Although standard Ethernet
cable connectors (RJ-45 connectors) look similar to standard telephone
cable connectors, they are not interc hangeable. An RJ-45 connector is wider
and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has
between 2 and 6 contacts.
routerA router provides a bridge between two or more networks. A router can link
a network to the Internet, link two networks and connect both to the Internet,
and help secure networks through the use of firewalls and assigning dynamic
addresses. A router can also act as a gateway, while a switch cannot.
SSIDThe SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.
switchA switch makes it possible for several users to send information over a
network at the same time without slowing each other down. Switches allow
different nodes (a network connection  point, typically a computer) of a
network to communicate directly with one another.

network security.

6 Load paper
You can load many different types and sizes of paper in the HP Photosmart, including
letter or A4 paper, photo paper, transparencies, envelopes, and HP CD/DVD tattoo labels.
By default, the HP Photosmart is set to detect the size and type of paper you load in the
input tray automatically and then adjust its settings to generate the highest quality output
for that paper.
If you are using special papers, such as photo paper, transparency films, envelopes, or
labels, or if you experience poor print quality using the Automatic setting, you can
manually set the paper size and type for the print jobs.

Recommended papers for printing
If you want the best print quality, HP reco mmends using HP papers that are specifically
designed for the type of project you are printing. Using paper that is too thin or too thick,
paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using
paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear,
bleed, or not fill in completely.
Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

Papers to avoid
Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that
stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not
accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.
Papers to avoid for all print jobs
• Any size paper other than those listed in  “
Specifications” on page 175 or in the printer
driver.
NOTE: For a complete list of supported media sizes, see the printer driver.
•Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet
devices).
• Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed
into these papers.
• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the
HP Photosmart. They can jam the HP Photosmart or repel the ink.
• Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck,
and the ink is more likely to smear.
• Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper
jams.
• Banner paper.
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.
