Print borderless photos

Use borderless printing to print to the edges of certain paper types and to print on a range of paper sizesfrom 4 x 6 inch photo paper to a 210 x 594 mm (8.5 x 23.4 inch) custom photo size.
Guidelines For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri-color print cartridge. Do not print borderless photos in ink-backup mode. Always have two print cartridges installed in the printer. For more information, see Ink-backup mode. Open the file in a software program such as HP Photosmart Software and resize the photo. Ensure that the size corresponds to the paper size that you want to use. For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage instructions. Do not exceed the input tray capacity: 30 sheets of photo paper.

11 Maintenance

Install print cartridges Align print cartridges Automatically clean print cartridges Calibrate print quality View estimated ink levels Maintain the printer body Remove ink from your skin and clothing Manually clean print cartridges Maintain print cartridges Printer Toolbox

Install print cartridges

When you need to replace print cartridges, make sure you have the correct print cartridges for your printer, and then install them in the print cartridge cradle. Print cartridge combinations Selection numbers Printing with one print cartridge Installation instructions
Print cartridge combinations
Choose the right cartridge combination Choose the best combination of cartridges for your print job: Everyday printing: Use a black cartridge along with a tri-color cartridge. Color photos: Use a photo cartridge along with a tri-color cartridge.
Always install the tri-color print cartridge in the left side of the print cartridge cradle. Install the black or photo print cartridge in the right side of the print cartridge cradle.

To clean the print cartridges 1. Open the printer Toolbox. 2. Click Clean the Print Cartridges. 3. Click Clean, and then follow the onscreen instructions. If your documents are still faded after cleaning, manually clean the print cartridge contacts. CAUTION: Clean print cartridges only when necessary. Unnecessary cleaning wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridge.

Calibrate print quality

Perform a print quality calibration if light or dark horizontal lines appear in documents that are printed with the tri-color and black print cartridges. Before performing a print quality calibration, clean the print cartridges, and then reprint the document. If the lines still occur, perform a print quality calibration. To calibrate print quality 1. Load Letter or A4 unused plain white paper in the paper tray. 2. Verify that both a black and a tri-color print cartridge are installed in the printer. 3. Open the printer Toolbox. 4. Click Print Quality Calibration. 5. Click Continue, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
View estimated ink levels
Follow these instructions to view the estimated ink levels of the print cartridges that are installed in the printer: 1. Open the printer Toolbox. 2. Click the Estimated Ink Level tab. NOTE: If the print cartridges were used before being installed in the printer, or if they are not genuine HP cartridges or have been refilled, the estimated ink levels will not appear on the Estimated Ink Level tab. The Estimated Ink Level tab also contains print cartridge ordering information. To view this information, click the Print Cartridge Information button. NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the device and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
Maintain the printer body
Because the HP Deskjet ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear. To remove smudges, stains, or dried ink from the exterior 1. Turn off the HP Deskjet, and then disconnect the power cord. 2. Wipe the outside of the HP Deskjet with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened with water. CAUTION: Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and detergents might damage the printer finish. Keep all fluids away from the interior. Do not lubricate the metal rod on which the print cartridge cradle slides. Noise is normal when the cradle moves back and forth.

Printer Toolbox

The printer Toolbox contains a number of useful tools to enhance the performance of the printer. Use the printer Toolbox to perform the following tasks: Align the print cartridges Calibrate print quality Clean the print cartridges Print a test page View estimated ink levels
To open the printer Toolbox 1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box. 2. Click the Features tab, and then click the Printer services button. The Toolbox is displayed.

Check the printer lights

The printer lights indicate the printer status and alert you to potential problems. For more information, see Printer lights are on or flashing.
Check the printer cable connection
If your printer and computer are connected with a USB cable and the devices are not communicating with each other, try the following: Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the printer and plugged into a power outlet. Check the USB cable. If you are using an older cable, it might not be working properly. If you experience problems, the USB cable might need to be replaced. Also verify that the cable does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length. Check the connection from your printer to your computer. Verify that the USB cable is securely plugged into the USB port on the back of your printer. Make sure the other end of the USB cable is plugged into a USB port on your computer. After the cable is connected properly, turn your printer off and then on again.
If you are connecting the printer through a USB hub, make sure the hub is turned on. If the hub is on, try connecting the printer directly to your computer. Try connecting the USB cable to another USB port on your computer. After you check the connections, try restarting your computer. Turn your printer off and then on again. NOTE: For best printing performance, use a USB 2.0 compatible cable.
Clear the print queue Cause: When you start a print job, it is sent to a list called the print queue. If the printer stops printing before the job is complete, the print job might be stalled in the print queue. Solution: To resolve a print job that is stalled in the queue 1. For Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers. For Windows XP, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes. 2. Double-click the name of the HP Deskjet printer. 3. Click the Printer menu, and then click Pause Printing. 4. Click the Printer menu again, and then click Cancel All Documents. 5. Click Yes to confirm the cancellation. 6. Click the Printer menu, and then uncheck Pause Printing. 7. If there are still documents in the list, restart the computer. 8. After restarting, if there are still documents in the list, repeat steps 1 6. After resolving a print job that is stalled in the print queue, the print queue still might not be clear. In that situation, you need to stop and then restart the print service. To stop and restart the print service 1. For Windows 2000, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools. For Windows XP, click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Administrative Tools. 2. Double-click Services, and then double-click Print Spooler. 3. Click Stop, and then click Start to restart the print service. 4. Click OK to close the window.

"Print cartridge is in the wrong slot" message Cause: If you receive this error message, the print cartridge is installed in the wrong side of the print cartridge cradle. Solution: Always install the tri-color print cartridge in the left print cartridge cradle compartment. Install the black or photo print cartridge in the right print cartridge cradle compartment.
Low on ink Cause: At least one of the print cartridges is estimated to be low on ink and may need to be replaced soon. Solution: Have a replacement cartridge on hand to avoid printing interruptions. You do not have to replace the cartridge until print quality deteriorates. If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured print cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator will be inaccurate or unavailable. For information on how to replace print cartridges, see Replace print cartridges.
"Printing in ink-backup mode" message Cause: When the printer detects that only one print cartridge is installed, ink-backup mode is initiated. This printing mode lets you print with a single print cartridge, but it slows the printer and affects the quality of printouts. Solution: If you receive the ink-backup mode message and two print cartridges are installed in the printer, verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been
removed from each print cartridge. When plastic tape covers the print cartridge contacts, the printer cannot detect that the print cartridge is installed. To remove plastic tape from a print cartridge Hold the print cartridge so that the copper strips are on the bottom and facing toward the printer, and then carefully remove the plastic tape.

A. Extent of limited warranty 1. Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end-user customer that the HP products specified above will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the duration specified above, which duration begins on the date of purchase by the customer. 2. For software products, HPs limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any product will be interrupted or error free. 3. HP's limited warranty covers only those defects that arise as a result of normal use of the product, and does not cover any other problems, including those that arise as a result of: a. Improper maintenance or modification; b. Software, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; c. Operation outside the product's specifications; d. Unauthorized modification or misuse. 4. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP cartridge or a refilled cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled cartridge or an expired ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage. 5. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the product, at HP's option. 6. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product. 7. HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the customer returns the defective product to HP. 8. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the product being replaced. 9. HP products may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance. 10. HP's Limited Warranty Statement is valid in any country where the covered HP product is distributed by HP. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer. B. Limitations of warranty TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, NEITHER HP NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. C. Limitations of liability 1. To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies provided in this Warranty Statement are the customer's sole and exclusive remedies. 2. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL HP OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. D. Local law 1. This Warranty Statement gives the customer specific legal rights. The customer may also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country elsewhere in the world. 2. To the extent that this Warranty Statement is inconsistent with local law, this Warranty Statement shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under such local law, certain disclaimers and limitations of this Warranty Statement may not apply to the customer. For example, some states in the United States, as well as some governments outside the United States (including provinces in Canada), may: a. Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Warranty Statement from limiting the statutory rights of a consumer (e.g., the United Kingdom); b. Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or limitations; or c. Grant the customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied warranties which the manufacturer cannot disclaim, or allow limitations on the duration of implied warranties. 3. THE TERMS IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY, AND ARE IN ADDITION TO, THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THE HP PRODUCTS TO SUCH CUSTOMERS. HP Limited Warranty Dear Customer, You will find below the name and address of the HP entity responsible for the performance of the HP Limited Warranty in your country.
