User Guide

Always make sure the paper you are printing on is at. For best results when printing images, use HP
Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a at surface in a cool,
dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you
have nished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper
from curling.
