set the paper type
The default paper type is Automatic. The HP PSC will, in most cases, detect the
paper type and automatically adjust the settings. If you want to use a different
type of paper, such as photo paper, transparency film, Iron-On T-shirt transfers,
or brochures, simply load that paper in the paper tray. You can then change the
paper type settings to ensure the best print quality.
HP recommends paper type settings according to the type of paper you’re using.
This setting refers to copy or photo card options only. If you want to set the paper
type for printing from a computer, set the properties in the Print dialog box of
the software.
1 Press Copy or Photo Card, if not already lit.
2 Press Options until Paper Type appears.
3 Press until the appropriate paper type appears.
4 Press Enter to choose the displayed paper type.
set the paper size
The HP PSC can use Letter or A4 paper. If you are printing photos from a photo
card, you can also use 4-by-6 inch (10-by-15 cm) photo paper. Use the
following procedure to set the paper size for copy or photo card options.
Continuous (banner)
paper
(works only with
printing) Continuous banner paper is also known as computer or z-fold paper.
• Before loading banner paper, remove all other paper from the paper
tray, then remove the output tray.
• If you use non-HP banner paper, use 20-lb. paper and fan the paper
before loading it.
• Verify that the stack of banner paper contains at least five pages in the
stack.
• Carefully tear off the perforated edge strips from both sides of the
paper stack, if any, and unfold and refold the paper to make sure the
pages do not stick together.
• Put the paper in the paper tray so that the unattached edge is at the
top of the stack. Insert the first edge into the paper tray until it stops, as
shown in the illustration below.
• Replace the output tray.
