Maintain paper

To maintain paper quality, follow the recommendations below.

Clean input and output platens and cut sheet tray

Always keep the transparent window of your printer closed

The print is scuffed or

scratched on page 130

.

Change the drying time

You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints
where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.

Select the Setup menu icon

, then Print retrieval> Select drying time. You can select:

Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry

Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper

Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance

None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it finishes printing

WARNING!

If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray

and marks on the print.

NOTE

If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper

right away due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the
printer cuts the paper and then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is
greater than zero, the printer does not cut the paper until after the printhead maintenance has
completed, even if the

Form feed and cut

key has been pressed.

Turn the automatic cutter on and off

To turn the printer's paper cutter on or off:

From HP Easy Printer Care (Windows), select the Settings tab and change the Cutter option in
Printer Settings > Advanced.

From HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), select Configuration > Printer Settings > Configure Printer
Settings
and change the Cutter option.
