Welcome
Thank you for purchasing an HP Photosmart D7100 series printer! With this new photo
printer you can print beautiful photos, save photos to a computer, and create fun and
easy projects with or without a computer.
This guide primarily explains how to print without connecting a computer. To learn how
to print from a computer, install the printer software and view the electronic Help. For an
overview of using a computer and the printer together, see Printing from a computer. For

Home users can learn how to:

Antique
The printer comes with the following documentation:
● Quick Start Guide: The Quick Start Guide explains how to set up the printer, install
the printer software, and print your first photo.

Special features
New features and media make it easier than ever to produce high-quality photos:
● When you use the new HP Advanced Photo Paper (also called HP Photo Paper in
some countries/regions), special sensors in the printer detect a mark on the back of
the paper and automatically select the optimal print settings. For more information
about this new paper, see Choose the right paper.
● HP Real Life technologies make it easy for you to get better photos. Automatic red
eye removal and adaptive lighting to enhance detail in shadows are just a few of the
many technologies included. You can explore the many editing and enhancing
options from both the control panel and from the printer software. To access these
features from the control panel, see Improving photo quality. To learn how to find
them in the software, see HP Real Life technologies features.
