HP Real Life Technologies photo fix 23
Chapter 5 printer software then uses this information to automatically perform image-specific enhancements to create outstanding photos.
To print Exif Print-enhanced photos, you must have the following items:
• A digital camera that supports Exif Print
• Exif Print-enabled photo software, such as HP Photosmart Software
To print Exif Print-enhanced photos

Store and handle photo paper
Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of HP brand photo paper.
Storage
• Keep unused photo paper in a sealed plastic bag. Store the packaged photo paper on a flat surface in a cool place.
• When you are ready to print, remove only the paper that you plan to use immediately from the plastic bag. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag.
• Do not leave unused photo paper in the paper tray. The paper might start to curl, which can reduce the quality of your photos.
Handling
• Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print quality.
• If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (0.4 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the storage bag, and then gently bending it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.
Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
Save money and ink when printing photos
To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper and set the print quality to Normal.
24 Print photos
HP Everyday Photo Paper is designed to create quality photos with less ink.
NOTE: For higher-quality photos, use HP Advanced Photo Paper and set the print resolution to Best or Maximum dpi. For more information on enabling the maximum dpi mode, see

• Value for frequent printing: You print a lot—from e-mails and school reports to family photos and holiday greetings. Buy more, save more with HP's value offerings.
Look for the green package.
• Specialty for performance printing: Enhance your specialty communications with metallic ink---accent text, graphics, cards, announcements, reports, and even photos with a reflective finish. Make your projects truly shine, using metallic ink. Look for the
red package.
52 Maintenance

View estimated ink levels
Follow these instructions to view the estimated ink levels of the print cartridges that are installed in the printer:
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the device and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage .
To check the ink levels
1. Open the printer
2. Click the Estimated Ink Levels tab.
NOTE: If the print cartridges were used before being installed in the printer, or have been refilled, the estimated ink levels on the Estimated Ink level tab may be inaccurate or unavailable.
The Estimated Ink Levels tab also contains print cartridge ordering information. To view this information, click the Print Cartridge Information button.
56 Maintenance
Maintain the printer body
Because the HP Deskjet ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear.
To remove smudges, stains, or dried ink from the exterior
1. Turn off the HP Deskjet, and then disconnect the power cord.
2. Wipe the outside of the HP Deskjet with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened with water.
CAUTION: Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and detergents might damage the printer finish. Keep all fluids away from the interior. Do not lubricate the metal rod on which the print cartridge carriage slides. Noise is normal when the carriage moves back and forth.
Remove ink from your skin and clothing
Follow these instructions to remove ink from your skin and clothing:
Surface
Skin
White fabric
Color fabric
Remedy
Wash the area with an abrasive soap.
Wash the fabric in cold water and use chlorine bleach.
Wash the fabric in cold water and use sudsy ammonia.
CAUTION: Always use cold water to remove ink from fabric. Warm or hot water can set the ink into the fabric.
Manually clean print cartridges
CAUTION: Do not clean the print cartridge contacts unless you are having a problem with print quality and other measures have not been successful. For more information, see
.
If the HP Deskjet is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris can accumulate on the print cartridge contacts. This debris can cause ink streaks on printed pages. The problem can be corrected by manually cleaning the print cartridge contacts.
You need the following items to clean the print cartridges:
• Distilled water (tap water can contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge)
• Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge
Be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing as you clean. For more information,
see Remove ink from your skin and clothing .
Maintain the printer body 57
Chapter 9
To prepare to clean
1. Open the HP Deskjet cover.
2. Wait until the print cartridge carriage moves to the right side of the HP Deskjet and is idle and quiet.
3. Remove the print cartridges and place them on a piece of paper, with the copper strips facing up.
CAUTION: Do not leave the print cartridges outside the HP Deskjet for more than 30 minutes.
To manually clean print cartridge contacts
1. Lightly moisten a cotton swab with distilled water and squeeze any excess water from the swab.
2. Gently wipe the print cartridge copper contacts with the cotton swab.
CAUTION: Do not touch the print cartridge ink nozzles. Touching the ink nozzles will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
1 Ink nozzles (do not touch)
2 Copper contacts
3. Repeat this process until no ink residue or dust appears on the swab.
4. Insert the print cartridges in the HP Deskjet, and then close the cover. For more information, see
Maintain print cartridges
Follow these guidelines to maintain and store HP print cartridges and to ensure consistent print quality.
58 Maintenance
• When you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in an airtight plastic container to protect your print cartridge and to prevent the ink from drying out.
• Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15° to 35° C or 59° to 95° F).
• Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge.
CAUTION: Always turn the printer off with the Power button before you unplug the power cord or turn off a power strip. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges properly. When you store the printer, always leave the active print cartridges inside the printer.
