Maintain paper
To maintain paper quality, follow the recommendations below.
●
Store rolls covered by another piece of paper or cloth
●
Store cut sheets covered and clean or brush them before loading them in the printer
●
Clean input and output platens and cut sheet tray
●
Always keep the transparent window of your printer closed
NOTE Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or
scratched on page 130.
Change the drying time
You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints
where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.
Select the Setup menu icon
, then Print retrieval> Select drying time. You can select:
●
Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry
●
Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper
●
Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance
●
None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it finishes printing
WARNING! If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray
and marks on the print.
NOTE If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper
right away due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the
printer cuts the paper and then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is
greater than zero, the printer does not cut the paper until after the printhead maintenance has
completed, even if the Form feed and cut key has been pressed.
Turn the automatic cutter on and off
To turn the printer's paper cutter on or off:
●
From HP Easy Printer Care (Windows), select the Settings tab and change the Cutter option in
Printer Settings > Advanced.
●
From HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), select Configuration > Printer Settings > Configure Printer
Settings and change the Cutter option.
