Use HP Advanced Photo Paper. It is especially designed to work with the inks in your
printer to create beautiful photos. Other photo papers will produce inferior results.

The printer is set by default to print the best quality photos on HP Advanced Photo Paper.
If you print on a different type of paper, be sure to change the paper type. For information
on changing the paper type in the printer menu, see “
Load your paper” on page 19. For
information on changing the paper type when printing from a computer, see “

print settings for the print job” on page 43.
Load your paper
Paper loading tips:
• You can print on photo paper, index cards, L-size cards, A-6 cards, or panoramic
paper.
• Before loading paper, slide out the paper-width guide to make room for the paper.
• Load only one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or sizes in
the input tray.
• Do not load more than 20 sheets of photo paper.
• Do not load more than 10 sheets of 10 x 30 cm (4 x 12 inches) photo paper for
panoramic printing. Loading more than ten sheets can cause paper feed problems.
• If you are using tabbed paper, load the paper so the tab feeds in last.
