When you are not using a print cartridge
Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the
printer, store it in a print cartridge protector, if
available. The cartridge protector keeps the ink
from drying out. Storing the cartridge improperly
can cause the cartridge to malfunction.
➔ To insert a cartridge into the cartridge
protector, slide the cartridge into the protector
at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.
Once you have inserted a cartridge into the
cartridge protector, place it in the storage area
located in the printer under the top cover.
Inserting memory cards
After you have taken pictures with a digital camera, you can remove the memory card
from the camera and insert it into the printer to view and print your photos. The printer
can read the following types of memory cards: CompactFlash
™ , Memory Sticks,
Microdrive ™ , MultiMediaCard ™ , Secure Digital ™ , SmartMedia ™ , and xD-Picture Card ™ .
Caution Using any other type of memory card may damage the memory card
and the printer.
To learn about other ways of transferring photos from a digital camera to the printer,
see
Connecting to other devices .
Supported file formats
The printer can recognize and print the following file formats directly from the memory
card: JPEG, uncompressed TIFF, AVI (JPEG compression), QuickTime (JPEG
compression), and MPEG-1. If a digital camera saves photos and video clips in other
file formats, save the files to a computer and print them using a software application.
For more information, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Printer Help.
Inserting a memory card
Find the memory card in the following table and use the instructions to insert the card
into the printer.
Guidelines:
●
Insert only one memory card at a time.
● Gently push the memory card into the printer until it stops. The memory card
does not insert all the way into the printer; do not try to force it.
Caution Inserting the memory card any other way may damage the card and
the printer.
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Memory Card light flashes and then
remains solid green.
