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.

NOTE:

Most paper types require no drying time.

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

TIP:

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.

●

From the HP Printer Utility for Windows, select the Settings tab and change the Cutter option

Feed and cut the paper

To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled, or when the front edge of the
paper is not straight, press the

Form feed and cut

key on the front panel. The paper advances and a

message is displayed on the front panel:

Select the cutting position by pressing the arrow keys backward and forward

If you immediately press the

key, the printer will make a straight cut removing a 4-inch strip from the

front edge of the paper.

Alternatively, you can use the

and

Down

keys to remove more or less of the paper (minimum 2

inches). Open the window to see where the cut will be made, indicated by a scissors label at the side
of the carriage. The window can remain open while you are moving the paper. When you have finished
moving the paper, close the window and press the

key.
