The HP All-in-One is equipped with memory card slots which enable you to insert a
memory card and begin printing photos from your digital camera without uploading your
photos to a computer first. Additionally, if the HP All-in-One is connected to a computer
with a USB cable, you can also transfer your photos to the computer to print, edit, or
share.
The HP All-in-One supports the memory cards described below. Each type of memory
card can only be inserted in the appropriate slot for that card.
CAUTION:Do not insert more than one memory card at a time. If more than one
memory card is inserted, unrecoverable data loss might occur.
1xD-Picture Card
2Memory Stick or Memory Stick Duo  (adapter optional, but not necessary)
3Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCard (MMC)
4CompactFlash (CF)
The memory card area also has a Photo light. This light blinks green when a memory
card is being read or when an image is being printed from a card, and stays solid green
when images are ready to be viewed. The Photo light is located near the memory card
slots (below the camera icon).
NOTE:Do not pull out the memory card while the Photo light is flashing. A flashing
light means the HP All-in-One is accessing the memory card. Wait until the light
remains solid. Removing a memory card while it is being accessed might corrupt
information on the card or damage the HP All-in-One and card.

The HP All-in-One allows you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white copies
on plain or photo paper. You can enlarge or reduce the size of an original to fit a specific

Make a copy
You can make quality copies from the control panel.
To make a copy from the control panel
1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.
2. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
3. Press  Start Copy Black  or Start Copy Color  to begin copying.
Change copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One, provides three options, indicated by one, two, or three stars, that affect
copy speed and quality:
•One star copies faster than the other two quality settings. On plain paper, the text is
comparable to the quality of two stars, but the graphics might be of lower quality. This
setting uses less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.
NOTE: This setting is not available when the HP All-In-One detects photo paper.
•Two stars delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of
your copying. Two stars copies faster than the three stars quality setting.
• Three stars produces the highest quality output for all paper and eliminates the
banding (striping) effect that sometimes  occurs in solid areas. Three stars copies
slower than the other quality settings.
To change the copy quality
1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.
2. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
3. Press  Quality  to select one star, two stars, or three stars.
4. Press  Start Copy Black  or Start Copy Color .

enlarging an original. For example:
• If you enlarge a 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo to make a borderless full-size copy on
letter or A4 paper, some part of your photo will be cropped. The  Resize to Fit feature
will enlarge the photo as much as possible to fit the page without cropping any of your
photo.
• If the image or text on your original fills the entire sheet of paper with no margins, you
can use the  Resize to Fit  feature to reduce your original and prevent unwanted
cropping of the text or images at the edges of the sheet.
NOTE: In order to resize your original with out changing the proportions or cropping
the edges, the HP All-in-One might leave an uneven amount of white space around
