  • blinking - the printer is busy (for example, printing or saving)
  • off - the printer power is off

If a Card Slot light (there are two of them—one for each card slot) is:

  • on - the memory card is inserted correctly
  • blinking - the memory card in the card slot is being accessed

Caution: Do not remove the memory card while the indicator light is blinking. Removing a memory card while it is in use may damage the card.

  • off - there is no memory card inserted, the memory card is not inserted correctly, or the other memory card slot is in use

Note: You can only use one memory card slot at a time. For more information about using memory cards with the HP PhotoSmart printer, see "Chapter 5 Using the Printer with a Memory Card" on page 35.

If the Attention light is blinking, read the LCD for instructions.

Using Print Cartridges and Paper

Using print cartridges

To get the best performance from your HP PhotoSmart printer, we recommend using only genuine HP supplies, including genuine HP factory-filled print cartridges.

Note: Do not refill print cartridges yourself. Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP print cartridges is specifically excluded from HP printer warranty coverage.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Using print cartridges - 1

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Using print cartridges - 2

Selecting the correct print cartridges

Use only HP print cartridges with your HP PhotoSmart printer. The part numbers are:

Color cartridge - HP C6578 series
Black cartridge - HP 51645 series

Determining if a print cartridge is low on ink

When a print cartridge is low on ink you will probably notice it in the print quality. You may start seeing too much of one color in a print, a color may be missing, or you may see streaks in your print. If you think your print cartridges may be low on ink, print a test page. See "Using the HP PhotoSmart printer tools" on page 9 for details. If you are connected to a computer, you can use the HP PhotoSmart Toolbox. See "Using the HP PhotoSmart printer Toolbox" on page 32 for more information.

Replacing print cartridges

To replace print cartridges:

  1. Turn the printer on. See “Turning the printer ON and OFF” on page 6 for more information.
  2. Open the top cover.

The print cartridge holder moves to the center of the printer.

  1. Lift the print cartridge holder cover for the print cartridge you want to replace and remove the print cartridge.
  2. Remove the tape from the new print cartridge:

Take the print cartridge out of its package.
- Grasp the tab and peel off the tape.

Note: Be careful not to touch the ink nozzles or the copper contacts. Touching these parts may cause print cartridge failure.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To replace print cartridges: - 1

  1. Insert the print cartridge:

  2. Insert the bottom of the print cartridge into the holder.

  3. Push the top of the cartridge toward the back of the printer until you feel it "lock" into place.
  4. Close the print cartridge holder cover.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To replace print cartridges: - 2

  1. Close the top cover.

The LCD prompts you to load plain paper in the paper tray.

  1. Make sure plain paper is loaded in the paper tray. See "Loading a stack of paper" on page 18 for more information about loading paper.
  2. On the front panel, press the OK/Yes button.

The printer begins printing a calibration page.

Loading paper

When you are loading paper into the paper tray, keep in mind the following guidelines:

  • The printer prints on the face-down side of the page in the paper tray; the printed document faces up in the output tray.
  • Place paper into the paper tray with all sheets facing the same direction (for example, glossy side down). Glossy sides should not be facing each other.
    Some of the HP papers have the HP logo on them to help you determine which way to insert the paper. See the instructions in the paper package for details.
  • Do not press the stack of paper down to increase the amount of paper you can place in the paper tray. Loading too much paper in the paper tray can cause paper jams.
    Feed or place tabbed paper into the printer so that the tab feeds in last.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Loading paper - 1

Loading a stack of paper

The amount of paper you can load in the paper tray depends on the type of paper you are using. For more information on papers, see the HP PhotoSmart online Help.

To load a stack of paper in the paper tray:

  1. Pull out the front paper guide on the paper tray.
  2. Place a stack of paper into the paper tray.

  3. Load the paper print side down.

  4. Always load paper in the portrait direction, with the long edge against the long edge of the paper tray.
  5. Be careful not to use too much paper. The stack should be below the front paper guide.
    Use one kind and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or sizes in the paper tray.

  6. Make sure the photo tray is disengaged.

  7. On the output tray, move the slider (visible through the output tray) toward you (away from the inside of the printer) until it stops.

  8. Adjust the side and front paper guides to fit close to the edges of the paper, without bending the paper. This helps the paper feed into the printer straight.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To load a stack of paper in the paper tray: - 1

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To load a stack of paper in the paper tray: - 2

Loading paper in the photo tray

Use the printer's photo tray to print on 4 × 6 inch (102 x 152 mm) photo paper. When you use the photo tray, you can leave your regular paper in the paper tray.

To load paper in the photo tray:

  1. On the output tray, move the slider (visible through the output tray) toward you (away from the inside of the printer) until it stops. This disengages the photo tray.
  2. Lift the output tray.
  3. Load paper in the photo tray with the print side down. If you are using tabbed paper, feed or place the tabbed paper into the printer so that the tab feeds in last.
  4. Lower the output tray to its original position.
  5. On the output tray, move the slider away from you (toward the inside of the printer) until it stops against the edge of the paper. This engages the photo tray.
  6. When you are done using the photo tray, disengage it so that the printer will use the paper in the paper tray.

Loading envelopes

You can print one envelope at a time using the single-envelope slot or you can print multiple envelopes using the paper tray.

Printing a single envelope

Using HP custom papers

The types of paper you can use with the HP PhotoSmart printer depend on how you are using the printer. If you are printing from your computer you have more paper choices than if you are printing from the front panel.

You can print on many different types and sizes of paper. We recommend using HP custom papers for the best output quality. For example, if you are printing a photo, be sure to print on HP photo paper for photo-quality results.

HP papers can be found at most computer and office supply stores or you can order them online at HP's Shopping Village:

http://www.shoping.hp.com

The maximum amount of paper you can load in the paper tray or photo tray depends on the type of paper you are using. See the HP PhotoSmart online Help for more information.

Note: When you change papers, remember to select the correct paper type and size. If you are printing from the front panel or if you are using infrared, use the HP PhotoSmart front panel to make these selections.

Chapter 5 Using the Printer with a Memory Card

If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the memory card into the HP PhotoSmart printer to print your photos. The HP PhotoSmart printer steps you through the process.

Understanding memory cards

The HP PhotoSmart printer can read two different types of memory cards.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Understanding memory cards - 1
CompactFlash Type I & II

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Understanding memory cards - 2
SmartMedia

Use only CompactFlash Association (CFA) certified Type I & II or SmartMedia memory cards with the HP PhotoSmart printer. These cards are manufactured by several vendors and are available in a variety of storage capacities.

Note: Other types of memory cards may damage the HP PhotoSmart P1000/ P1100 printer.

Inserting a memory card

Once you have taken photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save them to your computer using the HP PhotoSmart P1000/ P1100 printer. Before you insert a memory card, be sure the printer is turned ON.

Note: The printer can only access one memory card slot at a time.

To insert a memory card:

  • Insert the memory card into the appropriate card slot.

CompactFlash - insert the memory card into the bottom card slot so that the front of the card faces away from you and the edge with pin-holes is placed into the printer first.

Caution: If you do not insert the side with pin-holes into the printer first, you can damage the memory card, the printer, or both.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To insert a memory card: - 1

SmartMedia - insert the memory card into the top card slot so that the front of the card (the gold side) faces toward you and the top of the card (the edge with the notch) is placed into the printer first.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To insert a memory card: - 2

When the memory card is inserted correctly, the card slot indicator light illuminates. The LCD screen displays Reading... for a moment, shows the number of photos found on the memory card, then displays ALL PHOTOS - 1 copy - Index.

Caution: Do not pull out the memory card while the LCD screen says Reading... or while the light is blinking. This may damage the printer, the memory card, or the information on the memory card.

Printing an index page

The index page includes a thumbnail, date, file name and number for each photo on the memory card. (If you're printing an index page using HP JetSend, the index page only shows the thumbnail and the photo date.) You can use the index page to determine which photos you want to print or save. You can also keep a printout of the index page with your memory card so that you'll always be able to see at a glance what is on the memory card. Note that the index "page" may be several pages if you have a lot of photos on your memory card.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Printing an index page - 1

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Printing an index page - 2

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Printing an index page - 3

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - Printing an index page - 4

To print an index page:

  1. Insert the memory card into the printer. See “Inserting a memory card” on page 35 for details.
  2. Set the printer to print: ALL PHOTOS - 1 copy - Index. If this is not the setting shown on the LCD, press Cancel/No to get to this setting.

  3. Press the Print button.

  4. If you are asked about the type of paper you are using, press the Cancel/No button until the LCD displays the type of paper you are printing on, and then press the OK/Yes button.

  5. If you are asked about the size of paper you are using, press the Cancel/No button until the LCD displays the size of paper you are printing on, and then press the OK/Yes button.

The printer begins printing an index page.

  1. When the index page finishes printing, review the thumbnails of each photo to decide which photos you want to print or save. Use the number below each thumbnail as the photo number you select when printing or saving photos.

Note: This number may be different than the number associated with the photo on your digital camera. If you add photos to, or delete photos from, your memory card, you will need to reprint the index page to see the new index numbers.

Selecting photos

Before selecting the photos to print or save, decide which photos you want to use. Use an index page (see "Printing an index page" on page 37) or use your digital camera (see your digital camera's documentation) to view photo thumbnails so that you can decide which photos to print or save.

Using the front panel

To select photos using the front panel:

  1. Make sure the memory card is in the printer. See "Inserting a memory card" on page 35 for details.
  2. Press the Choose Photos button until the LCD displays the number of a photo you want to select or ALL if you want to select every photo on the memory card.

  3. Press the OK/Yes button.

  4. If you did not select ALL, the LCD displays a space where you can select another photo.

3,6,

  • If you want to select additional photos, press the Choose Photos button until the LCD displays the number of a photo you want to select, then press the OK/Yes button. Repeat this step to continue selecting additional photos.

Note: If you want to print multiple copies of the same photo, you can select the same number more than once. For example, selecting 3, 3, 6, 6, 9 will print two copies of photo number three, two copies of photo number six, and one copy of photo number nine.

  1. When you have finished selecting photos, press the OK/Yes button.

To select a continuous range of photos:

  • Press and hold down the OK/Yes button for about three seconds.

For example, if you want to select photos 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15:

  1. Press the Choose Photos button until the LCD displays the photo number 10.
  2. Press and hold down the OK/Yes button until a dash (-) appears on the LCD.
  3. Press the Choose Photos button until the photo number 15 appears on the LCD after the dash.
  4. Press the OK/Yes button.

Using Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) files

DPOF files are files that you create using your digital camera. They are stored on the memory card and contain information such as which photos are selected and how many of each photo is to be printed or saved. The printer can read a DPOF file from a memory card so that you don't have to re-select the photos to print or save.

To use a DPOF file with your HP PhotoSmart printer:

  1. Select the photos you want to use by creating a DPOF file on your digital camera. The settings you can specify (such as number of copies) are specific to your camera. See your digital camera's documentation for details on how to create a DPOF file.
  2. Insert the memory card into the printer.

The printer automatically recognizes the DPOF file on the memory card and asks if you want to use the file.

  1. Press OK/Yes. The LCD reads:

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To use a DPOF file with your HP PhotoSmart printer: - 1

  1. Continue printing as described below.

Printing photos

Use the printer's front panel to print photos from a memory card. Note that the layout of your photos (how they are placed on the page) depends on several factors:

Photo size
Orientation (chosen on your digital camera)
- Order in which you select the photos
- Photo Album vs. Paper Saver setting in Properties (see “Selecting the page layout” on page 11 for details)

To print photos from a memory card:

  1. Select the photos you want to print. See "Selecting photos" on page 38 for details.
  2. Select the photo size: press the Photo Size button until the LCD displays the correct photo size.
  3. Select the number of copies: press the Copies button until the LCD screen displays the number of copies you want to print.

When you choose to print more than one copy, the photo will print as follows: if you select two copies of photos 1, 2, and 3, the photos will print in the order 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3.

Note: If you are using a DPOF file, the printer will print the quantity designated in the DPOF file.

  1. Press the Print button.

  2. If you are asked about the type of paper you are using, press the Cancel/No button until the LCD displays the type of paper you are printing on, and then press the OK/Yes button.

Tip: If you are printing a photo, use HP photo paper for best results.

  1. If you are asked about the size of paper you are using, press the Cancel/No button until the LCD displays the size of paper you are printing on, and then press the OK/Yes button.

Note: You can set the default paper type and size using the Tools button. See "Using the HP PhotoSmart printer tools" on page 9 for more information. This helps you avoid having to select these two settings every time you print using the front panel.

After printing you can:

  • Print another copy using the same settings by pressing the Print button.
  • Save the selected photos to the computer by pressing the Save button. Note that your computer must be connected to the printer and turned on.
  • Set up another print job by pressing the Cancel/No button to clear the current settings. This resets the LCD to ALL PHOTOS - 1 copy - Index.

Chapter 6

Using the Printer with HP JetSend

If your digital camera has HP JetSend infrared capability, you can transfer your photos directly from your digital camera to the HP PhotoSmart printer for fast wireless printing. After you transfer the photos, you can print them immediately or save them to your computer.

Note: Your digital camera must use HP JetSend to transfer information via infrared. Refer to your digital camera's documentation to see if your digital camera uses HP JetSend.

Using HP JetSend to print or save photos

When you use infrared to transfer photos, your camera and printer must communicate during the entire process. Point the camera toward the printer and leave it there until the process is complete.

To send photos to the printer using infrared:

  1. If you are going to use the front panel to print the photos you are transferring, select the photo size, paper type, and paper size. See "Printing photos" on page 41 for details.

Note: If you do not select these options the HP PhotoSmart printer uses the most recent settings.

  1. Using your digital camera, select the photos you want to transfer. See your digital camera's documentation for details on selecting photos.
  2. Aim your digital camera's infrared port toward the infrared port on the HP PhotoSmart printer and send the photos.

Note: How you send the photo depends on your digital camera. See your digital camera's documentation for details.

COMPAQ PHOTOSMART P1000 - To send photos to the printer using infrared: - 1

The printer's LCD displays Connecting . . . when it starts communicating with the digital camera. Continue to keep the digital camera aimed at the printer's infrared port while the LCD displays Receiving . . .

  1. When the printer LCD asks whether you want to print or save, press one of the following buttons on the printer's front panel:

  2. Print if you want to print the photos.

OR

  • Save if you want to save the photos.

  • When the printer LCD asks if you want to send more photos from the digital camera to the printer using infrared:

  • On the front panel, press the OK/Yes button to begin printing or saving. OR
    From the digital camera, send more photos.

The printer begins printing or saving your photos.

Tips for using HP JetSend

  • When positioning the digital camera for sending photos, be sure there is a clear line of sight between the digital camera and the printer infrared port. If something is blocking the way, the digital camera and printer will not be able to communicate and photos will not be transferred.
  • It may help to place the digital camera on a table and then aim it toward the printer so it is stationary during the entire transfer process. This helps to avoid any interruptions in communication between the printer and digital camera.
  • Your digital camera may have a Send button for infrared. If it does, aim the digital camera towards the HP PhotoSmart printer infrared port and press the Send button.
  • If the printer does not receive the photos, try adjusting the distance between the digital camera and the printer. Sometimes moving closer or farther away can help you successfully transfer the photos.
