Other items you will need
Depending on how you are using the printer, you will
need additional items (listed below).
Cables
To connect the printer to a computer, you need a bi-
directional IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable or a
USB cable . These cables are available where you
purchased your printer or at most computer supply
stores, and must be purchased separately.
Memory cards
If you use your digital camera’s memory card with the
printer, make sure the memory card is a
CompactFlash Type I or II , IBM Microdrive , or
SmartMedia memory card. See “Understanding
memory cards” on page 24 for more information.
HP paper
You can print on many different types and sizes of paper. We recommend using HP custom paper for the best output quality. For
example, if you are printing a photo, be sure to print on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper for photo-quality results.
HP paper can be found at most computer and office supply stores or on the Web at
www.hpshopping.com .
Note: Your printer has automatic paper type and size sensors to help you get great printing results automatically. The printer uses an
optical sensor to detect paper type and size, then selects the print mode for great results. Depending on where you live, you
may need to set the default paper size to use a particular large or small paper size, see “Page size” on page 17.
