To get the best performance from your printer, use genuine HP photo paper. For
more information, see recommended paper on page 53.
Note: If you are printing from the computer and using HP photo paper,
select the paper type when you set the print settings. For more information,
see the HP Photosmart Printer Help. For information about viewing the
Printer Help, see view the hp photosmart printer help on page 2.
load the paper
During printing, the printer pushes the paper partially through the rear paper slot
on the back of the printer and then pulls it back through to the front of the printer.
Make sure the back of the printer is at least 10 inches (250 mm) away from any
obstruction and that the power cord and USB cable do not block the rear paper
path.
To load paper:
1 Open the paper tray door and push it down as far as it will go.
2 Place a stack of paper on the paper tray and slide it underneath the output
guide.
– The printer prints on the side of the paper that is facing up. If you are
using photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side up. If you are
using tabbed paper, load the paper into the paper tray so the tab
feeds into the printer first.
– Load 10 to 20 sheets of photo paper or index cards.
– Use one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or
sizes in the paper tray.
