This section describes the basics of printing photos. For information on inserting or
replacing the print cartridge before you print, see the setup instructions that came in the
box with the printer or
Load your paper
Use HP Advanced Photo Paper. It is especially designed to work with the inks in your
printer to create beautiful photos. Other photo papers will produce inferior results.
The printer is set by default to print the best quality photos on HP Advanced Photo Paper.
If you print on a different type of paper, be sure to change the paper type. For information
on changing the paper type see the electronic Help or online user guide.
To order HP papers and other supplies, go to www.hp.com/buy/supplies. If prompted,
choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one
of the shopping links on the page.
To load paper
1. Open the output tray. The input tray opens automatically.
2. Load up to 20 sheets of photo paper with the print side or glossy side facing the front
of the printer. If you are using tabbed paper, load the paper so tab feeds in last. When
loading, slide the paper to the left side of the input tray and push the paper down firmly
until it stops.
3. Adjust the paper-width guide to fit close to the edge of the paper without bending the
paper.
