2 Print basics

This section describes the basics of printing photos. For information on inserting or

replacing the print cartridge before you print, see the setup instructions that came in the

box with the printer or “

Insert or replace the print cartridge” on page 17.

Load your paper

Use HP Advanced Photo Paper. It is especially designed to work with the inks in your

printer to create beautiful photos. Other photo papers will produce inferior results.

The printer is set, by default, to print the best quality photos on HP Advanced Photo Paper.

If you print on a different type of paper, be sure to change the paper type setting in the

printer menu or in the print dialog box.

For more information on this subject, download the comprehensive User Guide at:

www.hp.com/support.

loading, slide the paper to the left side of the input tray and push the paper down firmly

until it stops.

3. Adjust the paper-width guide to fit close to the edge of the paper without bending the

paper.

Insert a memory card

Insert a memory card into the appropriate slot with the label facing up and the metal

Label Description

CAUTION: Do not pull out the memory card while the memory card light is flashing.

A flashing light means the printer or computer is accessing the memory card. When

the memory card light on the printer is solid, it is safe to pull the card out of the slot.

Print photos from a memory card

This section describes several ways to print photos from a memory card, including one

photo, multiple photos, multiple copies of the same photo, and so on.

Important: Your photos are instantly dry, and can be handled immediately after they are

printed. However, HP recommends that you leave the printed surface of your photos

exposed to the air for 3 minutes after printing to allow the colors to fully develop before

you stack them with other photos or place them in albums.

Enhance or edit your photos

You can enhance or edit your photos in various ways, as explained in the following:

•

Use Photo Fix

•

Remove red-eye from your photos

Use Photo Fix

Photo Fix automatically enhances your photos using HP Real Life Technologies that:

• Sharpen photos.

• Improve the dark areas of a photo without affecting the light areas of a photo.

• Improve the overall brightness, color, and contrast of photos.

• Auto-align photos. Many digital cameras record images at a size that does not fit

standard photo paper sizes, such as 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches). If necessary, printers

crop or trim an image to fit the paper size. The auto-align feature senses the position

of subjects’ heads and attempts to avoid trimming those from the photo.

Photo Fix is on by default, unless the Print quality setting is set to Fast Normal. While

in Fast Normal mode, you can turn Photo Fix on using the Preferences menu. If you

want to print a photo without using the Photo Fix improvements, make sure Photo Fix

is turned off in the Preferences menu.

To turn off Photo Fix

1. Touch the Setup icon to display the Setup menu. For more information, see “

Setup

Menu” on page 5.

2. Touch the onscreen arrows to navigate to the Preferences menu item.

4 Troubleshooting and support

The HP Photosmart A630 series printer is designed to be reliable and easy to use. This

section answers frequently asked questions about using the printer and printing without

a computer.

NOTE: Before contacting HP support, read this section for troubleshooting tips or

go to the online support services at

www.hp.com/support.

Printing and hardware issues

The Attention light is flashing.

Cause: A printer error has occurred. Try the following solutions.

Solution:

• Check the printer screen for instructions. If you have a digital camera connected

to the printer, check the camera screen for instructions. If the printer is connected

to a computer, check the computer monitor for instructions.

• Turn off the printer.

• If the light continues to flash, go to

www.hp.com/support or contact HP support.

The printer is plugged in, but it will not turn on.

Solution:

• The printer may be plugged into a power strip that is turned off. Turn on the power

strip, and then turn on the printer.

• The printer may be plugged into an incompatible power source. If you are traveling

abroad, make certain the power source in the country/region you are visiting

complies with the power requirements and power cord of the printer.

• Check that the power adapter is functioning properly. To check the power adapter:

◦ Make sure the power adapter is connected to your printer and a compatible

power source.

◦ Press and hold down the Power button on the printer. If the Power button

lights up, then the power cord is working properly. If it fails to light, go to

www.hp.com/support or contact HP support.

Printing and hardware issues 15

English

The paper does not feed into the printer correctly, or the image printed off-

center.

Solution:

• The paper may not be loaded correctly. Reload the paper, making sure that the

paper is correctly oriented in the input tray and that the paper-width guide fits

close to the edge of the paper. For paper-loading instructions, see “

Load your

paper” on page 7.

• The print cartridge may need to be aligned. Touch the Setup icon on the

Photosmart Express menu to display the Setup menu, and select Cartridge >

Align Cartridge.

• The printer may need attention. Read the printer screen for instructions.

1. Turn off the printer, and then unplug it from the power source.

2. Pull out any paper that is jammed in the printer.

3. Remove any wrinkled or torn paper from the input tray or output tray. Load new

paper in the input tray.

4. Plug the printer back in, and turn it on. Try printing your document again.

Print quality is poor.

Solution:

• The print cartridge may be running low on ink. Check the ink-level icon on the

printer screen, and replace the cartridge if necessary. For more information, see

“

Insert or replace the print cartridge” on page 17.

NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning

purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider

having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays.

You do not need to replace the print cartridges until print quality becomes

unacceptable.

• The print cartridge may need to be cleaned or aligned. These tasks can be

performed from the Printer menu. For more information on using the Printer menu,

see “

Setup Menu” on page 5.

• Reduce the size of the image and try printing again. For better results in the future,

set the digital camera to a higher photo resolution.

• Make sure you are using the right type of photo paper for the project. For more

information, see “

Load your paper” on page 7.
