Using Your Printer

Buttons and Lights
The two buttons on the front of your HP DeskJet printer let you turn the printer on and off, or to resume printing. The lights give you visual cues about the state of your printer. Only use the Power Button on the front of the printer to turn the printer on and off. Using a power strip, surge protector, or a wall-mounted switch to turn the printer on and off may cause premature printer failure. When these lights are.

You need to.

Press Power to turn on the printer. Send a document to the printer. The printer is in the ready-to-print state. If you just installed a print cartidge, make sure the cartridge is securely snapped into the printer with the arrow aligned with the dots on the top of the print cartridge cradle. Close the top cover of the printer if it is open. Check the lower IN tray to make sure it contains paper and that the paper is correctly loaded in the tray. Press Resume to clear the error condition. Then check your computer screen for any reported error message and corrective action instructions. No action required. This indicates that either the computer is sending a document to the printer or that the printer is currently busy printing. Press Power to turn off the printer. At the computer, cancel any documents awaiting printing. Press Power again to turn on the printer. See the troubleshooting instructions in Chapter 4 of this Users Guide.

Using the Paper Trays

Standard-Size Media

You place the paper or other media on which you will print into the lower IN tray. Slide out the paper guides to make room for the media you are loading into the tray.

Width paper guide

Length paper guide
Once you insert the media, slide the paper guides so they rest snugly against the media. Be sure to slide all media as far as it will go into the IN tray. Make sure the paper lies flat in the tray.
Cards, Small Envelopes, and Small Photo Paper
When printing on cards, small envelopes, or small photo paper, after sliding out the paper guides, next remove the OUT tray, then flip up the card guide.

Flip up the card guide

Lift out the OUT tray
Insert the cards, small envelopes, or small photo paper into the IN tray with the right edge of the media stack aligned with the card guide. For small envelopes, make sure the flap side is on the right with the flap facing up. Slide the paper width guide to the right until it aligns with the left edge of the media stack. Press the inside of the paper length guide handle to release and lower it. Then push the paper length guide in toward the media stack until it stops. Replace the OUT tray. If you encounter difficulty replacing the OUT tray, lift the top cover, wait a few moments for the print cartridge cradle to move to its center position, replace the OUT tray, then lower the top cover.
Basic Printer Maintenance
Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear on the printer case. To remove smudges, stains, and/or dried ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water. When cleaning your printer, keep these tips in mind:
Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior. Do not use household cleaners or detergent. In the event that a household
cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe the printers exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with water.
Do not lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradle moves. Noise is
normal when the cradles move back and forth. For information on cleaning print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle, see Cleaning Print Cartridges on page 29.
2 Using Your Printer Software
Note: Before you can use your printer, you must have installed the printer and printer software as described on the Quick Start Poster.

Choosing Your Printer

Print Quality Draft: Quick printing Normal: Every day printing Best: Highest quality
Ink tab settings allow you to adjust the ink volume and dry time.

Layout

This dialog box allows you to specify the number of pages printed on each sheet of paper. You also set Two-Sided Printing options from this dialog box.
Check here to print on both sides of the paper.
Choose the number of pages (1, 2, or 4) to print on each sheet.
Check to print a border around each page.
If you check Print Both Sides, choose appropriate Binding (side or top).
Your HP DeskJet 640C Series Printer uses HPs Color Matching technology to intelligently analyze each element on a pagetext, graphics, and photographs and provide the best color output.
Choose: HP Color Matching (default) ColorSync Grayscale (print in shades of gray) Black & White (no color) Slide to adjust: Saturation Brightness Color Tone
HP Color Matching is the default Image setting on the Color panel. While you can adjust saturation, brightness, and color tone with the sliders that appear when you choose this option, the center position of the sliders is optimized for most printing uses and types of media. The ColorSync setting can be used for color matching with other components using the ColorSync matching system. Grayscale prints in shades of gray. With this setting, you also have the option to optimize printing for fax and photocopy. Black & White prints only in black and white (no color, no gray).

Background Printing

Choose Background if you want to continue working while printing takes place. If you choose Foreground printing, printing will be faster, but you wont be able to work on other tasks until the printing is complete.

Using and Caring for Your Print Cartridges
4 Remove the replacement print cartridge from its packaging and carefully
remove the protective vinyl tape. Do NOT touch the ink nozzles. Do NOT touch or remove the copper contacts.
Do NOT touch the print cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts. Touching these parts will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connection. Also, do NOT remove the copper strips; these are required electrical contacts.

light continues to flash and if the cradles do not move to the right side of the printer, remove and reinstall the print cartridges. Make sure the print cartridges are pressed down into the cradles before you snap them forward into positions. If the Resume light continues to flash after you reinstall the new print cartridge, check the part number on the print cartridge to ensure you installed the correct one.

Storing Print Cartridges

To maintain excellent print quality from your print cartridges:
Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages, at room temperature
(60-78 F or 15.6-26.6 C), until you are ready to use them.
Once installed, leave the print cartridges in their cradle at all times to keep
them from drying out or becoming clogged.
If you store an unsealed print cartridge, do so in an airtight plastic container. Do NOT unplug the printer until printing is complete and the print cartridge
cradles have returned to their home position on the right side of the printer. The print cartridges will dry out if not stored in their home position. Only use the Power button on the front of the printer to turn the printer on and off. Using a power strip, surge protector, or a wall-mounted outlet switch to turn the printer on and off may cause premature failure.
