Inserting memory cards  
After you have taken pictures with a digital camera, you can remove the memory card  
from the camera and insert it into the printer to view and print your photos. The printer  
can read the following types of memory cards: CompactFlash, Microdrive, Memory  
Sticks, MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, and xD-Picture Card.  
Caution Using any other type of memory card may damage the memory card  
and the printer.  
To learn about other ways of transferring photos from a digital camera to the printer,  
Supported file formats  
The printer can recognize and print the following file formats directly from a memory  
card: JPEG, uncompressed TIFF, Motion JPEG AVI, Motion-JPEG QuickTime, and  
MPEG-1. If your digital camera saves photos and video clips in other file formats,  
save the files to your computer and print them using a software application. For more  
information, see the onscreen Printer Help.  
Inserting a memory card  
Find your memory card in the following table and use the instructions to insert the  
card into the printer.  
Guidelines:  
Insert only one memory card at a time.  
Gently push the memory card into the printer until it stops. The memory card  
does not insert all the way into the printer; do not try to force it.  
Caution 1 Inserting the memory card any other way may damage the card  
and the printer.  
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Memory Card light flashes  
and then remains solid green.  
Caution 2 Do not pull out a memory card while the Memory Card light is  
flashing. For more information, see Removing a memory card.  
The printer reads the memory card, prompts you to save any new photos on the  
internal printer hard drive, and then displays the photos in folders and albums. If you  
used your digital camera to select photos on the card, the printer asks you if you want  
to print the camera-selected photos.

Removing a memory card while it is being accessed may damage the printer  
and the memory card or corrupt the information on the memory card.  
Saving photos from a memory card to the printer hard drive

and select from the following options:  
If the test page has white streaks or missing colors, the print cartridge needs  
to be cleaned again. Select Yes, then press OK.  
If the print quality of the test page looks good, select No, then press OK.  
You can clean the cartridge up to three times. Each successive cleaning is more  
thorough and uses more ink.  
If you complete all three levels of cleaning using this procedure and you still notice  
white streaks or missing colors on the test page, you may need to replace the cartridge.  
Note If the cartridge or printer has been recently dropped, you may also see  
white streaks or missing colors in your prints. This problem is temporary and  
clears up within 24 hours.  
Printing a test page  
Print a test page before contacting HP Customer Care. The test page contains  
diagnostic information you can use when working with HP Customer Care to solve  
printing problems. Look at the ink nozzle pattern on the test page to check the ink  
level and condition of the print cartridge. If any line or color is missing from the  
pattern, try cleaning the print cartridge. For more information, see Automatically

The check marks verify that the print cartridge is installed correctly and  
functioning properly.  
If an “x” appears to the left of any of the bars, align the print cartridge again.  
If the “x” still appears, replace the print cartridge.  
Storing the printer and print cartridges  
Protect the printer and print cartridges by storing them properly when you are not  
using them.  
Storing the printer  
The printer is built to withstand long or short periods of inactivity.  
Close the In and Out tray doors and push the printer screen down into the flat  
position when the printer is not in use.  
Store the printer indoors out of direct sunlight in a place without temperature  
extremes.  
If the printer and print cartridge have not been used for one month or more, clean  
the print cartridge before printing. For more information, see Automatically  
Storing the print cartridge  
When you store or transport the printer, always leave the active print cartridge inside  
the printer. The printer stores the print cartridge in a protective cap during the power-  
down cycle.  
Caution Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you  
unplug the power cord or remove the internal battery. This allows the printer to  
store the print cartridge properly.  
Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print  
quality:  
When you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge  
protector to prevent the ink from drying out.

In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer,  
but comes with the HP Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In  
other countries/regions, the protector might be included with the printer.  
Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are  
needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35° C or 59–95° 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.  
Maintaining the quality of photo paper  
For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section.  
Storing photo paper  
Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.  
Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface.  
Return unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed  
to the elements may curl.  
Handling photo paper  
Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints.  
If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently  
bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.

already loaded paper in preparation for printing. The next time you print, the  
printer will eject the blank page before starting the new printing project.  
The photo did not print using the printer's default print settings.  
Solution You may have changed the print settings for the selected photo. Print

Solution Some digital cameras let you mark photos for printing both in the  
camera's internal memory and on the memory card. If you mark photos in the  
internal memory, and then move photos from the camera's internal memory to the  
memory card, the marks do not transfer. Mark photos for printing after you  
transfer them from the digital camera's internal memory to the memory card.

Error message: Photo is corrupted  
Cause While the printer was printing from a memory card, either another  
memory card was inserted or a USB device was connected to the front camera  
port.

while the printer is printing from a memory card. Your photo is not corrupted.  
Cause The indicated photo is corrupted on the inserted memory card.  
Solution Select and print a different photo, or insert a different memory card.  
Error message: Card access error. See user manual.  
Cause A card access error may indicate that an xD-Picture Card memory card  
is in a write-protected condition. xD-Picture Card memory cards have a special  
protection feature to ensure that your pictures are kept safe.  
Note During this condition, you can still use the printer for printing and  
saving photos from the xD-Picture Card to a secure location, such as the  
computer hard drive.  
Solution  
Reinsert the xD-Picture Card memory card into your camera and turn on the  
camera. In most cases, the camera automatically makes the necessary  
changes.  
Reformat the xD-Picture Card memory card. See the documentation that  
came with your camera for instructions on reformatting the memory card.  
Note that this process erases the pictures currently saved to your memory  
card. To save these pictures, transfer them to the computer before  
reformatting the memory card. Once you reformat the memory card, transfer  
those photos back to the memory card using the computer.

HP printer limited warranty statement  
HP product  
Duration of limited warranty  
Software  
90 days  
Print cartridges  
Until the HP ink is depleted or the “end of warranty” date printed  
on the cartridge has been reached, whichever occurs first. This  
warranty does not cover HP ink products that have been refilled,  
remanufactured, refurbished, misused, or tampered with.  
Accessories

Printer peripheral hardware (see the following for details) 1 year  
A. Extent of limited warranty  
1. Hewlett-Packard (HP) 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;  
c. Operation outside the product's specifications;  
d. Unauthorized modification or misuse.  
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
