You can move the paper forwards by pressing the Up key on the front panel, or backwards by pressing
the Down key. When the paper is positioned as you want it, press the OK key.
Maintain paper
To maintain paper quality, follow the recommendations below.
●
Store rolls covered by another piece of paper or cloth
●
Store cut sheets covered and clean or brush them before loading them in the printer
●
Clean input and output platens
●
Always keep the window of your printer closed
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
on page 162.
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 (this is the default setting)
●
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
CAUTION: 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 you press
the Form feed and cut key
.
Turn the automatic cutter on and off
To turn the printer's paper cutter on or off:
●
From the HP Utility for Windows, select the Settings tab and change the Cutter option in Printer
Settings > Advanced.
●
From the HP Utility for Mac OS, select Configuration > Printer Settings > Advanced and change
the Cutter option.
