To keep your paper in good condition for printing: Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag. Keep the paper flat in a cool, dry place. If the corners curl, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction until it lies flat. Hold photo paper by the edges to avoid smears. Loading your paper Paper loading tips: You can print photos on photo paper, index cards, L-size cards, or Hagaki cards. 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 In tray. How to load 1. Open the In tray and pull out the In tray extender. Load up to 20 sheets of paper with the print side or glossy side facing towards you. When loading, slide the paper to the left side of the In tray and push the paper down firmly until it stops. If you are using tabbed paper, insert it so the tabbed end feeds in last. Note If you are using panorama photo paper, only load up to 10 sheets. If you are using photo sticker paper, only load a single sheet at a time. 3. Move the paper-width guide to the left to fit close to the edge of the paper without bending the paper.

The cartridge numbers you can use with this printer vary by country/ region and appear on the back cover of this printed guide. HP Vivera Inks deliver true-to-life photo quality and exceptional fade resistance resulting in vivid colors that last. HP Vivera Inks are specially-formulated and scientifically tested for quality, purity and fade resistance. For optimum printing results, HP recommends using only genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP print cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time. Use the best print cartridge for the job To print...

HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. Printer service or repairs required as a result of printer failure or damage attributable to the use of nonHP ink will not be covered under warranty. For best print quality, HP recommends that you install all retail print cartridges before the date stamped on the box. Insert or replace the print cartridge Prepare the printer and cartridge 1. Make sure the power is on and you have removed the cardboard from inside the printer. 2. Open the print cartridge door of the printer. 3. Remove the bright pink tape from the cartridge.

If you are replacing a cartridge, push down and pull outward on the cartridge in the cradle to remove it. 2. Hold the replacement cartridge with the label on top. Slide the cartridge at a slight upward angle into the cradle so the copper-colored contacts go in first. Push the cartridge until it snaps into place. 3. Close the print cartridge door. Note To see the ink level of the print cartridge, press Menu, select Tools, press OK, then select Cartridge status. Each time you install or replace a print cartridge, a message appears on the printer screen asking you to load plain paper so the printer can align the cartridge. This ensures high-quality prints. Align the cartridge 1. Load paper in the In tray and press OK. 2. Follow the onscreen instructions to align the cartridge. See Aligning the print cartridge. When you are not using a print cartridge Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge protector. The cartridge protector keeps the ink from drying out. Storing the cartridge improperly can cause the cartridge to malfunction. To insert a cartridge into the cartridge protector, slide the cartridge into the protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place. 18 HP Photosmart 470 series When you are not using a print cartridge (continued) In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer, but comes with the HP Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In other countries/regions, the protector is included with the printer. HP Photosmart 470 series User's Guide 19 Chapter 2 Inserting memory cards After you have taken pictures with a digital camera, you can remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into the printer to view and print your photos. The printer can read the following types of memory cards: CompactFlashTM, Microdrive, Memory Sticks, MultiMediaCardTM, Secure DigitalTM, and xD-Picture CardTM. Caution Using any other type of memory card may damage the memory card and the printer. To learn about other ways of transferring photos from a digital camera to the printer, see Getting connected. Supported file formats The printer can recognize and print the following file formats directly from a memory card: JPEG, uncompressed TIFF, Motion JPEG AVI, Motion-JPEG QuickTime, and MPEG-1. If your digital camera saves photos and video clips in other file formats, save the files to your computer and print them using a software application. For more information, see the onscreen Printer Help. Inserting a memory card Find your memory card in the following table and use the instructions to insert the card into the printer. Guidelines: Insert only one memory card at a time. Gently push the memory card into the printer until it stops. The memory card does not insert all the way into the printer; do not try to force it. Caution 1 Inserting the memory card any other way may damage the card and the printer. When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Memory Card light flashes and then remains solid green. Caution 2 Do not pull out a memory card while the Memory Card light is flashing. For more information, see Removing a memory card. The printer reads the memory card, prompts you to save any new photos on the internal printer hard drive, and then displays the photos in folders and albums. If you used your digital camera to select photos on the card, the printer asks you if you want to print the camera-selected photos.
