Is the sound the printer makes when it starts working normal? Yes, when the printer functions properly, a sound occurs when you turn the printer on and also when it picks up paper. Which print cartridges can I use with the printer? Use one of the following inkjet print cartridges: Tri-Color HP51625A (supplied with printer) Large Black HP51626A (optional) Black HP51626G (optional) How do I print in color using Microsoft Windows software? Use the HP color inkjet print cartridge (HP51625A) for color printing and the HP large black (HP51626A) or black (HP51626G) for black printing. If you print a color document in black, remember to check the Print in Grayscale setting in the Printer Setup menu. (See page 5, "Finding the HP Printer Setup Box.") How can I get the best print quality? To ensure the highest print quality from the HP DeskJet 420 series printer, use original HP inkjet print cartridges together with HP's Premium InkJet Paper or Bright White InkJet Paper. The HP printer software gives you optimal results when you select the Best printing setting in the Printer Setup menu. (See page 5, "Finding the HP Printer Setup Box.") How do I print envelopes, labels, or thick paper (heavier than 24 lb)? You must feed envelopes, labels, and thick paper one sheet at a time from the back of the printer. Be sure that you have selected Manual Feed and the appropriate Paper Size in the Printer Setup menu. Then open the printer door and switch the envelope lever to Envelope ( ). Close the printer door and print one page. What do I do if I get a paper jam? To clear the paper jam: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Remove the paper from the paper tray. 3. Remove the printer door by grasping it by its sides, then pulling the door toward you. 4. Carefully pull the paper out of the printer. See page 11, "When Paper is Jammed in the Printer" for step-by-step illustrations. To avoid paper jams, be sure to set the paper size lever to the correct setting and to move the paper width guide so that it presses lightly against the paper stack. Also, be sure to feed paper that is heavier or lighter than 16 to 24 lb from the back of the printer manually.
