Ink tips
• Use genuine HP ink cartridges.
• Don’t open or uncap cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving caps on the cartridges reduces ink
evaporation.
• Install the yellow, magenta, cyan, and black cartridges correctly.
For more information, see
Replace the cartridges.
• Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink.

Paper loading tips
• Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be the same size and type to
avoid a paper jam.
• Load paper with side to be printed on facing down.
• Ensure that paper loaded in the paper tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
• Adjust the paper-width guides in the paper tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guide does not bend the paper in the paper tray.
• For more information, see
Load media.
Printer settings tips
• On the Paper/Quality tab of the print driver, select the appropriate paper type and print quality from the
Media drop-down list.
• Select the appropriate size from the Paper Size drop-down list on the Paper/Quality tab.
• Double-click the HP Deskjet 3520 series desktop icon to open the Printer Software. In the Printer Software,
click Print and Scan and then click Set Preferences to access the print driver.
NOTE: You can also access the Printer Software by clicking Start > All Programs > HP > HP Deskjet

• You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side.
◦ On the Layout tab, select Flip on Long Edge or Flip on Short Edge from the Print on Both Sides drop-
down menu.
◦ Click OK to print.
After one page of the document has been printed, you will be prompted to wait for a few seconds. Then the
printer will automatically load the paper back to print on the other side. You do not need to manually reload
the paper or make any operations.
