Print from a software application

Most print settings are automatically handled by the software application you are
printing from or by HP ColorSmart technology. You need to change the settings
manually only when you change print quality, print on specific types of paper or
transparency film, or use special features.

To print from the software application you used to create your document
(Windows users)

1

Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.

2

On the File menu in your software application, click Print.

3

Select the HP all-in-one as the printer.

4

If you need to change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog
box.
Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,
Options, Printer Setup, or Printer.

5

Select the appropriate options for your print job by using the features available in
the Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects, Basics, and Color tabs.

Tip

You can easily print your job with a set of default settings based on the type
of job you want to print. On the Printing Shortcuts tab, click a type of print
task in the What do you want to do? list. The default settings for that type of
print task are set, and summarized on the Printing Shortcuts tab. If
necessary, you can adjust the settings here, or you can make your changes
on the other tabs in the Properties dialog box.
