Selecting and Using Paper
The HP DeskJet 890C printer works well with most plain photocopy paper, postcards, index cards,
transparencies, envelopes and labels, and will print on 100% recycled papers that comply with
DIN 19 309. For best results, use HP Premium Inkjet Paper, HP Premium or HP Deluxe Photo
Paper, and HP Premium Transparency Film.
Basic Steps for Loading All Types of Media
1 Adjust the print settings in your software program and the HP DeskJet 890C printer driver to match
the paper type, size, and orientation of the paper you are using. (See the topic “Change Print
Settings” on the “How Do I?” tab in the HP DeskJet 890C Toolbox).
2 Slide the paper width adjuster to the left and slide the paper length adjuster out to make room for
the stack of paper..
TIPS
for Selecting Paper
◆
Always use paper that conforms with those listed under “Recommended Media Weight and Sizes”,
in the Printer Specifications section of this user’s guide.
◆
Test a sample of a particular paper to ensure that it is compatible with the printer and produces
acceptable print quality, before purchasing large quantities.
◆
Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or
perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed.
◆
Do not use multiple-part forms.
