Printing Features  
This section describes the features of your new printer, such as tiling, and  
the available imaging options, such as converting to grayscale. For  
detailed procedures on how to use features, see the online help.  
Note: The printing features described here are for Windows 95 or later, and  
Windows NT 4.0 or later.  
You can access the Printing features using the printer control panel and  
right clicking on the printer icon. In Windows 95 or 98, select Properties.  
In Windows NT 4.0, select Document Defaults. Most applications also let  
you access printer properties from the Print dialog.  
Save Your Settings  
You can save the current driver settings (for example, page orientation,  
paper source) for reuse. For convenience, Quick Sets can be saved from  
most printer driver tabs. You can also restore printer driver default  
settings by selecting Factory Defaults.  
Enlarging or Reducing a Document  
Use the HP ZoomSmart feature to enlarge or reduce documents.  
Handout  
This is useful when printing presentation slides on regular paper.  
Note: If your software application has a handout feature and you select it in the  
application, DO NOT select Handout in the Features Tab.  
12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Tiling  
Tiling lets you enlarge and print a page in sections and on different  
sheets of paper. You can then tile the sheets of paper to form a large  
poster.  
Note: For multiple-page documents, only the first page of the document is tiled.  
Additional pages in the document must be tiled one at a time. The available tile  
sizes in the dropdown list depend on the paper size selected.  
Booklet  
Booklet lets you print and collate a multiple-page document by printing  
two pages on each side of the paper. For example, an 8-page document  
is printed with pages 1 and 8 on the same side of the paper and pages 2  
and 7 on the other side of the paper. Folding the printout in half creates a  
booklet.  
Note: If your software application has a booklet printing feature and you select it  
in the application, DO NOT select Booklet in the Features Tab. If your software  
application has a collating option, DO NOT select it while using the Booklet  
feature.  
Manual Duplex (Two-Sided Printing)  
You can print on both sides of the page using the easy-to-follow on-  
screen instructions.  
Note: Do not print on both sides of pages that are covered densely with ink.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Mirror Image  
Mirror image prints the reflected image of a page. If you use this feature  
when printing on transparencies, the printed side will be face down on the  
projector. The other side can then be written on and cleaned off without  
damaging the printed side.  
You can also use this feature for printing on Iron-on T-shirt transfer  
paper.  
Banner  
You can create a banner using software such as Corel Print House,  
Microsoft® Publisher, or Broderbund Print Shop. Use big pictures and  
bold fonts in big sizes. For best results, use HP Banner Paper.  
Note: When using Corel Print House to create a banner, choose a border or draw  
a box around the design so the printed banner is centered.  
Watermark  
Lets you print a watermark on the first page or on all pages of a  
document.  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Imaging Options  
You can adjust the saturation, brightness, and color tone of printed  
images by moving the slider bar on the Imaging tab. The saturation  
controls the relative purity of printed colors. The brightness darkens or  
lightens the printed image. The color tone controls the perceived warmth  
and coolness of printed colors.  
Grayscale  
Grayscale tones print images using only  
shades of gray.  
Sepia Tone  
Sepia tones give your images an antique look  
by printing them using only brown and white.  
Optimized for Fax  
Optimized for Fax prints your images using  
high-contrast shades of gray making your  
printed document ideal for faxing.  
Image Enhancement  
Select Image Enhancement if you want your  
images enhanced by image processing  
algorithms that increase the contrast and  
sharpen the image.  
Preferences  
The Preferences tab lets you set whether or not a document prints  
immediately, a print preview is displayed, or a print confirmation is  
displayed. It also lets you change what happens when the media width  
sensor detects that the page is not wide enough.  
Note: The Preference tab also lets you change the amount of time a page is left to  
dry before the next page prints. Each paper type has a default dry time.  
Ink Volume is a slider that increases or decreases the amount of ink  
used, which affects the way colors appear on the page.  
Printing from DOS Software Programs  
When printing from DOS, you can adjust print settings in two ways: in the  
HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS and from within your DOS  
application’s printer driver.  
HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS  
You have access to many printer features through application specific  
DOS printer drivers; however, some software manufacturers do not  
develop printer drivers for their DOS applications. Use the DeskJet  
Control Panel to specify the default printer settings for printing from  
DOS applications.

3. Select printer settings that are not available from your DOS  
applications. Printer settings that are selected from a DOS application  
may override printer settings selected from the Control Panel.  
4. If desired, clean and align the print cartridges for best print quality.  
DOS Printer Driver  
The manufacturers of DOS applications supply printer drivers. The HP  
DeskJet 850 is the recommended printer driver. If it is not available, use  
the HP DeskJet 600 or 500 series.

maintenance tips  
Maintaining the Printer  
The printer does not require scheduled maintenance. Periodic cleaning,  
however, enhances the look of the printer and keeps it in peak condition.  
Cleaning may also make it easier to diagnose problems.  
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and  
water.  
Caution: Clean the printer only with water or water mixed with a mild detergent.  
Using other cleaners or alcohol may damage the printer.  
Caution: The ink in the print cartridges has been carefully formulated by Hewlett-  
Packard to ensure superior print quality and compatibility with your printer.  
Damage to the printer or the print cartridge resulting from modifying or refilling  
the print cartridge is not the responsibility of HP.  
Selecting and Loading Paper  
The printer prints on plain paper and most other types of paper. Most  
plain paper used for photocopying yields good results.  
Note: Paper does not need to be removed from the main bottom media tray when  
using the alternative top media feed. The printer checks for paper feeding from  
the alternative top media feed. If paper is detected, the printer picks paper from  
there without checking the main bottom media tray.  
Always use paper that conforms to the printer specifications.  
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.  
Load only one paper type at a time into any of the trays.  
Except when using manual feed, load the paper print side down  
with the right edge of the paper aligned against the right edge of  
the tray.  
Do not load more than 150 sheets of paper or 15 envelopes into  
the main tray at one time. For the alternative top media feed, do  
not load more than 10 sheets of paper or 3 envelopes. Load only  
one sheet of paper into the manual feed tray.

Check the power  
Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and  
to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The Power  
light on the front panel of the printer should be lit.  
Be patient  
Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or  
color photos take longer to begin printing. If the Power light is  
blinking, the printer is processing information.  
Check the paper  
Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the tray and that the paper  
is not jammed in the printer.  
Check the print cartridges  
Make sure that both the black and color print cartridges are  
properly installed and that the access cover of the printer is  
closed. The cartridge LED flashes if the print cartridges are not  
installed correctly.  
Try printing a sample page  
Turn the printer off, and then back on. Press the Resume button  
and release it when the Resume light starts to blink. If the sample  
page prints, then the problem is not with the printer.  
Check the printer setup  
Make sure your HP DeskJet printer is selected as the current or  
default printer and that Pause Printing is not checked.  
Check the network setup  
Make sure that your printer is properly set up in your network  
environment. See Use the printer on a network on the “How Do I?”

Toolbox help, and the documentation provided by your network  
vendors.  
A Blank Page is Ejected  
Check that the tape is removed from the ink nozzles on the print  
cartridges.  
Check that the media you are using is wide enough  
The media width must match the page settings in your print  
settings.  
Check for an empty print cartridge  
If you are printing black text and a blank page is printed, your  
black print cartridge may be empty. Replace the black print  
cartridge.  
Check the printer setup  
Make sure your printer is selected as the current or default  
printer.  
Check the parallel port on your computer  
If you are using a parallel cable, make sure your printer is  
connected directly to the parallel port. Do not share the port with  
other devices such as a Zip drive.  
Placement of the Text or Graphics is Wrong  
The paper size or orientation settings may be incorrect  
Make sure the paper size and page orientation selected in the  
software program match the settings in the HP print settings  
dialog box.  
The paper may not be loaded correctly  
If everything on the page is slanted or skewed, make sure the  
paper width and length guides fit snugly against the left and  
bottom edges of the paper stack and that there are no more than  
150 sheets of paper loaded in the main tray or 10 sheets of paper  
in the alternative tray.  
The margin settings may be wrong  
If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make  
sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the  
printable area of your printer.  
Something on the Page is Missing or Incorrect  
The margin settings may be wrong  
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed  
the printable area of your printer.

Make sure the correct printer is selected as the current or default  
printer.  
Printer Takes a Long Time to Print a Job  
Check your system configuration  
The minimum system configuration for your printer is 486-  
66MHz with 24MB RAM. However, the printer performance is  
optimized for Pentium machines.  
There may be insufficient hard disk space in your system  
For printing on 11"x17" paper, it is recommended that you should  
have at least 50MB free hard disk space in your system. If you  
are printing graphics-intensive files, make sure you have enough  
(more than 50MB) hard disk space.  
For Windows 98, if you are using a parallel connection, try  
switching to a USB connection. For more information, see page 9.  
There may be insufficient virtual memory in your system  
Increase the size of your system’s virtual memory.  
The PhotoREt option is disabled. If you are printing Best mode on  
letter-sized HP Premium Photo Paper and have disabled the  
PhotoREt option, you need at least 300MB free hard disk space  
in your system, and the printer takes a longer time to print.  
The port setting configuration in your system is not set to ECP  
Refer to the manual that comes with your computer for  
information on how to change your port setting or contact your  
computer manufacturer.  
A print cartridge may be low on ink  
Replace the low ink print cartridge.  
Paper is Jammed in the Printer  
Note: To clear the printer of any jammed paper, open the access cover and pull  
the paper towards you. If you cannot reach the jammed paper, turn the panel  
23  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
knob at the back of the printer, remove the panel, pull out the jammed paper,  
and replace the panel. If you still cannot reach the paper, lift up the output tray,  
and remove the jammed paper from the main paper tray.  
Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams  
Make sure nothing is blocking the paper path.  
Do not overload the alternative paper tray. The alternative paper  
tray holds up to 10 sheets of plain paper or other print material  
measuring the same thickness. The bottom main tray holds up to  
150 sheets of plain paper.  
Load paper properly.  
Do not use paper that is curled or crumpled.  
Always use paper that conforms with those listed in the Printer  
Specifications section.  
Uninstalling the Printer Software  
For parallel port or network connections in Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0:  
1. Start Windows and make sure no other Windows applications  
are running.  
2. Click Start, Programs, HP DeskJet 1220C Printer, and select  
Uninstaller.  
3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen, to complete  
the removal of the printer software.  
Note: You must have administrator privileges to uninstall the printer software in  
the Windows NT 4.0.  
For USB connections in Windows 98, follow the steps above, and restart  
Windows. If the software was not successfully installed, or the Uninstaller  
could not be found:  
1. Install the printer software for a parallel port connection (LPT1)  
using the Starter CD.  
2. After installation is complete, uninstall the software as  
described above. This will also remove previously failed USB  
installations.  
3. Restart Windows to complete the removal of the printer  
software.

USB Installation Failed or Nothing Prints Through USB  
(Windows 98)  
If the installation failed, uninstall the driver and retry the  
installation.  
Check that your computer has a USB port and is properly  
configured to use USB.  
Check that your computer is running Windows 98.  
Check that the USB cable is properly connected to the computer  
and the printer.  
Check that the printer is on.  
Verify that the system detects the printer: In the System control  
panel check that you can see USB Hewlett-Packard DeskJets  
device name and the DeskJet 1220C printer name below.  
Printer Does Not Print After Switching Ports  
Important: Do not connect both the parallel cable and the USB cable to the  
printer simultaneously. Only use one type of connection to the printer at one  
time.  
Make sure the cable you are using is properly connected to the  
computer and the printer.  
Make sure the printer is off when you switch ports. If it wasn’t, turn  
the printer off then turn the printer on again.  
Check that the port setting matches the physical connection:  
Click Start, Settings, Printers. Right click on the printer and  
select Properties. Click the Details tab and check the port  
setting.  
Print a test page: Click Start, Settings, Printers. Right click on the  
printer and select Properties. Click the General tab and Print  
Test Page. If the test page prints, make sure the application you  
are trying to print from has the correct printer selected.  
Aligning the Print Cartridges  
The printer automatically aligns the print cartridges whenever you  
replace one. If the printout looks like the cartridges are misaligned, you  
can align them manually.  
1. Open the Toolbox by double-clicking its icon on the desktop or its  
icon in the Printer group.  
2. Choose the Printer Services tab.  
3. Select Align Print Cartridges.  
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to align the cartridges.

Cleaning the Print Cartridges  
Clean the print cartridges when lines or dots are missing from printed  
text or graphics.  
Note: Do not clean the print cartridge unnecessarily because this wastes ink and  
shortens the life of the print cartridges.  
1. Select the Preference tab from the printer driver.  
2. Click the Services button.  
3. Select Clean Print Cartridges.  
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the cartridges.  
Mac Troubleshooting  
Check the power  
Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and  
to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The Power  
light on the front panel of the printer should be lit.  
Check the cable  
Make sure the cable you are using is properly connected to the  
computer and the printer.  
Check the Chooser  
Make sure you’ve installed the software to use the printer, and the  
printer is selected. The printer’s name should be visible on the left  
side of the Chooser. When you click on the printer’s icon, the  
printer’s name should be available on the right side of the  
Chooser. Select the printer’s name.  
Be patient  
Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or  
color photos take longer to begin printing. If the Power light is  
blinking, the printer is processing information.  
Check the USB port  
Unplug the printer from the USB port, wait a few seconds, then  
plug it back in. If that does not help, try plugging the printer into  
another USB port.  
Check the condition of the cable  
Make sure the cable to your printer is not damaged or frayed. If  
it is, contact the manufacturer of the cable and have it replaced.

Extent of limited warranty  
1. Hewlett-Packard warrants to the end-user customer that the HP products  
specified above will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for  
the duration specified above, which duration begins on the date of purchase  
by the customer.  
2. For software products, HP's limited warranty applies only to a failure to  
execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of  
any product will be uninterrupted or error free.  
3. HP's limited warranty covers only those defects that arise as a result of  
normal use of the product, and does not cover any other problems,  
including those that arise as a result of:  
a. Improper maintenance or modification;  
b. Software, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; or  
c. Operation outside the product's specifications.  
4. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink  
cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP  
support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is  
attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will charge its  
standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular  
failure or damage.  
5. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in  
any product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall either repair or  
replace the product, at HP's option.  
6. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is  
covered by HP's warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being  
notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product.  
7. HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the customer  
returns the defective product to HP.  
8. Any replacement product may be either new or like new, provided that it has  
functionality at least equal to that of the product being replaced.  
9. HP products may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials  
equivalent to new in performance.  
10. HP's Limited Warranty Statement is valid in any country where the covered  
HP product is distributed by HP. Contracts for additional warranty services,  
such as on-site service, are available from any authorized HP service facility  
in countries where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized  
importer.
