Printing from mobile devices The printer supports printing from a variety of mobile devices and memory cards, such as: • Cameras • Mobile phones • PDAs Printing digital photographs You can print photographs directly from a digital camera or directly from a memory card, or you can transfer the photos from the card or camera to your computer and print them from a software application, such as HP Photo Printing Software. Also, you can print photos directly from a PictBridge-compatible camera. If your digital camera uses a Type I CompactFlash™ (CF) card, SD card, or MMC, you can insert the card into the printer to print your photos. Your camera must support Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) version 1 or 1.1 in order to print directly from the card to the printer. DPOF files also automatically print directly from a USB Flash drive that is connected to the USB port of the printer. See Printing from memory cards and USB Flash drives for more information. To print with six-ink color Your printer can print with six-ink color to enhance the quality of printed photographs. Print high-quality grayscale photographs by using a black print cartridge and a tri-color print cartridge, or by using a gray photo print cartridge and a tri-color print cartridge. To perform six-ink color printing, a photo and a tricolor print cartridge must be installed together. NOTE: You can print high-quality black-and-white photographs using a gray photo print cartridge, combined with the tri-color print cartridge. Guidelines for printing photographs • For the best results when printing photographs and images, choose Best mode and select an HP photo paper in the printer driver. Best mode uses HP's unique PhotoREt IV color-layering technology and ColorSmart III color optimization technology to create realistic photo images, vivid color output, and extremely sharp text. With PhotoREt IV, a greater range of colors, lighter tones, and smoother gradations between tones can be achieved, ensuring the best photo and image print quality. Alternatively, select Maximum dpi, which provides up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi* for optimum print quality. *Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting might temporarily use a large amount of hard disk space (400 MB or more) and will print more slowly. Photo cartridge, if present, further enhances the print quality. • It is recommended to remove each sheet of paper as it prints and set it aside to dry. • If the printed colors visibly shift towards yellow, cyan or magenta, or there is a tinge of color in the gray shades, you need to calibrate the color. See Calibrating color. 30 Chapter 3 - Using the printer
