Relive Memories with Scan Mode
Make your sprocket app prints come to life! Scan Mode allows you to use the app camera to 
scan printed sprocket photos to relive memories through more images and videos from that 
day or location, augmented reality experiences, and online content. 
Scan Mode is only available for photos printed from the mobile sprocket app (not from the Instant Camera). These 
prints will be automatically tagged to work with Scan Mode. 
Scan prints and relive your stories—scanned prints can pull up experiences from a specific location, day, or reveal 
videos and third party information sources, like websites. Scan Mode also transforms your printed shots into 
augmented reality experiences.
To Scan:
1.  From the sprocket app Photo Gallery, tap on the Camera/Scan icon in the gallery.
2.  Center your sprocket print and press and hold the center of the screen to scan and reveal the magic behind the 
print.
• Make sure the photo is well-lit to avoid a scanning error. 
Videos and Scan Mode
Print out a video-frame using the sprocket app and rewatch the video when it’s scanned! All videos from any social 
source or gallery, as well as Apple Live Photos™ will work. Open the video in Image Preview, tap the video-frame 
selection icon to choose a frame to print, and then tap the print icon. 
Magic Frames and Scan Mode
Add a Magic Frame to a photo and watch it reveal hidden treasures when scanned. Select a Magic 
Frame from the Frame section of the photo Editor. Choose from everyday frames, as well as 
seasonal and thematic options.
Tile Printing 
1.  From the Preview Screen, tap the light grey bar under the 
photo to display a hidden menu. 
2.  In the Tiles section, select your desired pattern. Tiled photos 
can print out in 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 prints. 
3.  Assemble your printed photos to create a large tiled mosaic

							What if the printer will not print?
• Turn on the printer. By default, the printer is set to turn off after 5 minutes. To change when the printer automatically 
turns off, open the HP Sprocket app on your mobile device. Tap 
 , tap sprocket, and then tap Auto Off. Select when 
you want the printer to turn off. 
•  Charge the printer. On the printer, the Status Indicator light is solid white when the printer is turned on and the 
Charging Indicator light is solid green when plugged in and fully charged. 
•  Confirm Bluetooth is turned on and paired with your printer. If the printer is already paired to your mobile device, 
turning Bluetooth off and then on might resolve the issue. 
•  Make sure the printer has photo paper in the input tray. Load up to 10 sheets of photo paper with the blue HP ZINK® 
Smartsheet. 
•  Move the printer and your mobile device closer together. Bluetooth signals can be weaker at greater distances. 
•  Update the printer firmware. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the Internet and then open the HP Sprocket 
app. If there is a firmware update 
available, a firmware update screen 
displays. Follow the on-screen 
prompts to complete the update. 
Your printer must be charged to 
50% or higher before a firmware 
update. 
•  Reset the printer. On the printer, 
locate the pin-hole near the 
charging port, insert a straight pin 
into the hole to press the reset 
button until the printer turns off. 
Restart the printer.
What can I do to improve print quality?
Use these recommendations and the sprocket app editing capabilities to help improve print quality. 
• Use genuine HP Sprocket Photo Paper. ZINK™ makes custom photo paper for a variety of printers, such as Polaroid, LG, 
and HP. HP recommends using HP Sprocket Photo Paper for best results. Purchase genuine HP Sprocket Photo Paper 
from hpsprocket.com/start. You can also purchase genuine HP Sprocket Photo Paper from other retailers. 
•  Always load the blue HP ZINK® Smartsheet from the same pack of photo paper currently in the printer. Load the blue 
HP ZINK® Smartsheet into the input tray with the bar code facing down and the photo paper with the print side facing 
up, and then send a print job. 
•  Allow the printer a few minutes to cool down between print jobs.  
•  Store the photo paper in a cool, dry place and avoid contact with water. 
•  Update the printer firmware. 
Can I print to more than one printer?
Yes. You can connect and print to more than one printer, but you cannot connect to multiple printers at the same 
time.
