6 Load paper
You can load many different types and sizes of paper in the HP Photosmart, including letter or A4 paper, photo paper, transparencies, and envelopes. In addition, the
HP Photosmart lets you load and print directly on the surface of specially coated CDs and DVDs. By default, the HP Photosmart is set to detect the size and type of paper you load in the input tray automatically and then adjust its settings to generate the highest quality output for that paper.
If you are using special papers, such as photo paper, transparency film, envelopes, or labels, or if you experience poor print quality using the Automatic setting, you can manually set the paper size and type.
This section contains the following topics:

Choose papers for printing

This section contains the following topics:
•
Recommended papers for printing

Recommended papers for printing
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams.

Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

Papers to avoid
Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.
Papers to avoid for all print jobs
• Any size paper other than those listed in
“Technical information” on page 137
or in the printer driver.
• Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).
• Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed into these papers.
• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the
HP Photosmart. They can jam the HP Photosmart or repel the ink.
• Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck, and the ink is more likely to smear.
• Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper jams.
• Banner paper.

NOTE: Refer to the software that came with the HP Photosmart for printing on CD/
DVDs.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
• Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
• If you are printing labels, ensure that the label sheets are no more than two years old.
Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the
HP Photosmart, and cause paper jams.
• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the HP Photosmart.

Print photos from the control panel
The HP Photosmart enables you to print photos directly from your memory card without first transferring the files to a computer. You can print borderless photos (one per sheet of paper) or you can print multiple photos on a single sheet of paper.
By default, the HP Photosmart is set to detect the type of paper you are using automatically. For the best results when printing photos, leave the Paper Type set to
Automatic , and load photo paper in the photo tray. You should only change the Paper
Type if you see print quality issues using the Automatic setting.
To achieve the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing along with genuine HP ink. HP papers and HP ink are specifically designed to work well together to provide high-quality output.
NOTE: All photos that you print from the control panel, rather than from your computer, will be borderless.

Use the print cartridge protector
In some countries/regions, when you purchase a photo print cartridge, you might also receive a print cartridge protector. In other countries/regions, a print cartridge protector comes in the box with the HP Photosmart. If neither your print cartridge nor the
HP Photosmart came with a print cartridge protector, you can use an airtight plastic container to protect your print cartridge.
The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the HP Photosmart with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge protector. For example, store the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector if you are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color print cartridges.
To insert a print cartridge into the print cartridge protector
▲ Place the print cartridge into the print cartridge protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.
60 Maintain the HP Photosmart
To remove the print cartridge from the print cartridge protector
▲ Press down on the top of the print cartridge protector to release the print cartridge, then gently remove the print cartridge out of the print cartridge protector.
Align the print cartridges
Aligning the print cartridges ensures high-quality output. The HP Photosmart prompts you to align and calibrate the print cartridges every time you install a new print cartridge. Make sure you align the print cartridges when prompted to ensure excellent print quality.
NOTE: If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP Photosmart will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP Photosmart remembers the alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.

Information on paper
The HP Photosmart is designed to work well with most paper types. Test a variety of paper types before buying a large quantity. Find a paper type that works well and is easy to purchase. HP Premium papers are designed for the best quality results. In addition, follow these tips:
• Do not use paper that is too thin, that has a slick texture, or that stretches easily. It can feed incorrectly through the paper path, causing paper jams.
• Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag.
• Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print quality.
• Do not use paper that is heavily textured. It can cause graphics or text to print improperly.
70 Troubleshooting
• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
• Store printed photos under glass or in a storage book to prevent bleeding over time from high humidity. Use HP Premium Plus photo paper for maximum performance.
Information on print cartridges
For best results, use HP print cartridges. Refilled print cartridges might damage the
HP Photosmart. The following tips help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
• Keep all print cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
• Store print cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F).
• Do not reattach the protective tape once it has been removed from the print cartridge.
Reattaching the plastic tape might damage the print cartridge. Place the print cartridge in the HP Photosmart immediately after removing the plastic tape. If this is not possible, store it in a print cartridge protector or airtight plastic container.
• HP recommends that you do not remove the print cartridges from the HP Photosmart until you have replacement print cartridges available to install.
• Turn off the HP Photosmart from the control panel. Do not turn off the device by turning off a power strip or unplugging the power cord from the HP Photosmart. If you improperly turn off the HP Photosmart, the print carriage does not return to the correct position and the print cartridges can dry out.
• Do not open the print cartridge door unless necessary. This exposes the print cartridges to air, which reduces the life of the print cartridges.
NOTE: If you leave the print cartridge door open for a long period of time, the
HP Photosmart will recap the print cartridges to protect them from exposure to air.
• Clean the print cartridges when you notice a significant decrease in print quality.
TIP: You might notice a decrease in print quality if the print cartridges have not been used for a long time.
• Do not clean the print cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
• Handle print cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary printing problems. If print quality is poor right after cartridge installation, allow half an hour for the print cartridge to recover.

CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray.
The HP Photosmart stalled while printing a CD/DVD
Cause: The HP Photosmart pulls the CD/DVD holder through the device while printing on the CD/DVD. The holder can protrude about 7.5 cm (3 inches) from the back of the device. If there is not sufficient space behind the HP Photosmart, the holder stops and printing stalls.
Solution: Ensure that there is at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) of space behind the
HP Photosmart. Also, make sure that the slot on the back of the HP Photosmart is not blocked.
The image on my printed disc is cropped and there is ink on the CD/DVD holder
Cause: You loaded the CD/DVD onto the CD/DVD holder incorrectly.
Solution: If you are loading a regular-size (120 mm) CD/DVD onto the CD/DVD holder to be printed, do not flip the blue ring over the disc. The blue ring should only be used if you are printing on a small-size (80 mm) CD/DVD.
Before trying again, clean the CD/DVD holder to remove ink from the holder. This avoids ink contamination within the device, as well as protects your discs, hands, and clothing from stains later.
After the CD/DVD holder is clean and dry, load a new printable disc onto the holder with the printable side up. Leave the blue ring in its original location on the opposite side of the holder from your disc, as shown below. Reinsert the holder into the CD/

The HP Photosmart is printing on a non-printable area of my disc
Cause: Your design is not the correct size for the CD/DVD you loaded.
Solution: Make sure the design you are printing is appropriate for the size of the media loaded in the CD/DVD holder, including the diameter of the inner and outer rings. Change the software settings accordingly to center and size your design for the disc you are using. Refer to the documentation or the online help of the software you are using for additional information.
Cause: You might have loaded the CD/DVD upside down on the holder.
Solution: If you have already burned your content onto the CD/DVD, you might need to burn your contents again onto a new disc. Load the new disc onto the CD/
DVD holder with the printable side up. Reinsert the holder into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray and try your print again.
The design is not centered on my disc
Cause: Your design settings might not be correct.
Solution: Change the software settings to center and size your design for the disc you are using. Refer to the documentation or the online help of the software you are using for additional information.
The ink on the CD/DVD is not drying
Cause: The surface of the disc is not compatible for printing.
Solution: Make sure that the CD/DVD you use is compatible for inkjet printing.
Inkjet printable discs normally have a white printing surface. (Some discs also have a silver printing surface.)
Cause: You might have loaded the CD/DVD upside down on the holder.
Solution: If you have already burned your content onto the CD/DVD, you might need to burn your contents again onto a new disc. Load the new disc onto the CD/
DVD holder with the printable side up. Reinsert the holder into the CD/DVD tray until the lines on the holder line up to the white lines on the tray and try your print again.

Solution: Cancel the print job and replace the CD/DVD currently loaded on the CD/
DVD holder with a CD/DVD that is the same size as specified in the print job, or change the print settings in the software.
The CD/DVD holder is stuck in the storage area
Cause: You might have inserted the CD/DVD holder back into the storage area with a CD/DVD loaded and the blue ring flipped over the disc.
Solution: Pull the CD/DVD holder out as far as possible, until you feel resistance.
Then, insert a flat blunt object (such as a butter knife or screwdriver) into the left corner of the storage slot and push down on the blue ring. With the blue ring pressed down, you should be able to pull the CD/DVD holder out of the storage slot.
