use a photo memory card

This HP PSC can access memory cards used in almost any digital camera so you
can print, store, manage, and share your digital photos in some very exciting
ways.
This section contains the following topics:
•

what is a memory card? on page 21

•

insert a memory card and save the files to your computer on page 22

•

print photos by using a proof sheet on page 23

•

what is a memory card?
If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the
memory card in your HP PSC to print or save your photos.

Your HP PSC can read CompactFlash (I, II), Memory Sticks, MultiMediaCard
(MMC), Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD memory cards.
Your HP PSC features four slots for memory cards, shown in the illustration
below with the memory cards that correspond to each slot.

memory card

You can print a proof sheet, which might be several pages long and shows
thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card, and print photos from the
memory card, even if your HP PSC is not connected to a computer.

chapter 3

The slots are configured as follows:
•

Top left slot: CompactFlash (I, II)

•

Top right slot: Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC)

•

Bottom left slot: SmartMedia, xD (fits in top right of the main slot)

•

Bottom right slot: Memory Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick
Duo (with user-supplied adapter), Memory Stick Pro
Note: By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less
and 64 MB or more with the FAT32 format. Digital cameras and other
devices use the FAT (FAT16 or FAT12) format and cannot operate with a
FAT32 formatted card. Either format your card in your camera or select FAT
format to format your card in a Windows XP PC.

insert a memory card and save the files to your computer
After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately
or save them directly to your computer.

memory card

Note: You can only use one memory card in your HP PSC at a time.
1

Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP PSC.
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Photo button on the front
panel remains on.
If you insert a memory card backwards, the light next to the card slot
blinks amber and the front panel might display an error message such as
“Card is in backwards” or “Card is not fully inserted”.

Reading camera memory card... appears on the front panel display. The
light next to the card slots blinks green when the card is being accessed.
When the HP PSC finishes reading the card, both the Photo button and
access light stop blinking and remain illuminated.

Another message appears showing the number of files found on the
memory card.
Warning! You can safely remove the card only when the light next to the
slots remains on. If you try to remove a card when the light blinks, you can
damage files on the card or even make the card unusable.

If the card contains new files that have never been transferred to your
computer, a prompt on the display directs you to a dialog box on your
computer where you can continue the transfer of files from the card to the
computer, or cancel the transfer. Choose the option to continue with the
transfer.
This saves all the new photos from the memory card to your computer
using the HP PSC software.
For Windows: by default, files are saved in month and year folders
depending on when the photos were taken. The folders are created under
the C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Pictures
folder in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
For Macintosh: by default, files are saved to the computer at the location
Hard Drive:Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos folder (OS 9) or Hard
Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos folder (OS X).

hp psc 2300 series

use a photo memory card

By default, files are copied to your computer; they are not deleted from the
card.
Is your hard disk full? If your computer is equipped with an internal or external
CD writer, you can organize large collections of digital photos on CDs by
using the Memories Disc feature available through the HP Photo & Imaging
Director. Just start the HP Director and click HP Gallery. Click the Make CD tab
to begin collecting, organizing, and cataloging your images on CDs. On a
Macintosh see the hp gallery section in the hp photo and imaging help book
for information on the Memories Disc.

print photos by using a proof sheet
A proof sheet is a simple and convenient way to order and make prints directly
from a memory card without the need for a computer. A proof sheet, which
might be several pages long, shows thumbnail views of photos stored on the
memory card. The file name, index number, and date appear under each
thumbnail.
This section covers the following topics:
print a proof sheet on page 23

•

complete the proof sheet on page 24

•

print photos by scanning a proof sheet on page 25

Do you want to do more than just print your photos? You can enhance and
edit digital photos before printing them by using the HP Image Editor
available through the HP Director. Just start the HP Director and click HP
Gallery. Select the photo you want to edit, and click Image Editor in the top
pane. Add text or special effects to the photo, improve a poor quality photo,
or get rid of red eye.
Macintosh users can simply double-click an image in HP Gallery to open it for
editing in an Image Window.
Tip: You can improve the quality of the photos you print with your
HP PSC by purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the black
print cartridge and insert the photo print cartridge in its place.
With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge
installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides better quality
photos. When you want to print regular text documents, swap the
black print cartridge back in.
There are three steps to using a proof sheet to print photos:

Did you know you can create dazzling slide shows with the software that came
with your HP PSC? A multimedia presentation of your photos can be more
effective than simple prints. If your computer is equipped with an internal or
external CD writer, you can create multimedia presentations of your photo
collections by using the Memories Disc feature available through the HP
Director. Just start the HP Director and open the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery.
Click the Make CD tab to begin creating a movie-like presentation of selected
photos. You can add music, titles, and much more. On a Macintosh see the
hp gallery section in the hp photo and imaging help book for information on
the Memories Disc.
Note: You might want to use a photo print cartridge for superior print
quality. With the tri-color and photo print cartridges installed, you have a
six-ink system. See work with print cartridges on page 62 for more
information. When you want to print regular text documents, swap the
black print cartridge back in.

The HP PSC enables you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white
copies on a variety of paper types, including iron-on transfers. You can enlarge
or reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the copy’s
darkness and color intensity, and use special features to create a poster, make
many sizes of photos, and create transparencies.

copy

You can make copies by using the front panel of your HP PSC or by using the
HP Photo & Imaging Director (HP Director) software on your computer. Many
copy features are available through either method. However, you might find that
the software offers easier access to special copy features.

chapter 4

increase copy speed or quality
The HP PSC provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.
•

Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for
most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.

•

Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding
(striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies more
slowly than the other quality settings.

•

Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is of comparable
quality to the Normal setting, but the graphics might be of lower quality.
Using Fast cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges,
because it uses less ink.

Load your original face down on the right front corner of the glass.

Press Copy, if it is not already lit.

Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format
for your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles,
text documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch
the glass.
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it
into your word processor or graphics application and modify it to suit your
needs. You can do the following:
•

Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report,
saving you a lot of retyping.

•

Scan in a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to
print business cards and brochures for yourself.

•

Scan in photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a
photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic
scrapbook.

To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP PSC software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP PSC software is running on a
Windows PC, look for the hp psc 2300 series icon in the system tray at the
lower right side of the screen, next to the time. On a Macintosh, the HP PSC
software is always running.
You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP PSC. This section
explains how to scan from the front panel of the HP PSC.
For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize,

nonabrasive glass cleaner.
Caution! Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon
tetrachloride on the glass; these can damage it. Do not place or
spray liquids directly on the glass. They might seep under it and
damage the HP PSC.

Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.

using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a
damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.

clean the exterior
Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains
off the case. The interior of the HP PSC does not require cleaning. Keep fluids

maintain your hp psc

Check the Self-Test Report for the following:
– The test patterns are even and show a complete grid. If the grids are
not complete, this might indicate a problem with the nozzles. You might
need to clean the print cartridges. For more information, see clean the
print cartridges on page 69.
– The Low Ink warning message value. The value will appear above the
test pattern for the black, photo (if applicable), or tri-color print
cartridges. This value represents the number of Low Ink warning
messages that have displayed for each of the print cartridges. If the
value displays 1, 2, or 3, the print cartridge might be low on ink. You
might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information on
replacing print cartridges, see replace the print cartridges on
page 65.
– The lines of color extend across the page.
– The color blocks have even consistency. You should see cyan,
magenta, yellow, violet, green, and red color blocks. If color blocks
are missing, this might indicate that the tri-color print cartridge is out of
ink. You might need to replace the print cartridge. For more
information on replacing print cartridges, see replace the print
cartridges on page 65. Also check for streaking or white lines. Streaks
might indicate clogged nozzles or dirty contacts. You might need to
clean the print cartridges. For more information on cleaning the print
cartridges, see clean the print cartridges on page 69. Do not clean
with alcohol.

extent of limited warranty
Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) warrants to the end-user customer (“Customer”) that each HP PSC
2300 Series product (“Product”), including related software, accessories, media, and
supplies, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration, which
begins on the date of purchase by the Customer.
For each hardware Product, the duration of HP’s limited warranty is one year for parts
and one year for labor. For all other Products, the duration of HP’s limited warranty for
both parts and labor is ninety days.
For each software Product, HP’s limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute
programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any Product shall be
uninterrupted or error free.
HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of a
Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result
of (a) improper maintenance or modification, (b) software, accessories, media, or
supplies not provided or supported by HP, or (c) operation outside the Product’s
specifications.
For any hardware Product, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge
does not affect either the warranty to the Customer or any HP support contract with the
Customer. However, if Product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or
refilled ink cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service
the Product for the failure or damage.
If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product,
HP shall either repair or replace the defective Product, at HP’s option. Where labor
charges are not covered by HP’s limited warranty, repairs shall be at HP’s standard
charges for labor.
If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective Product which is covered
by HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect,
refund the purchase price for the Product.

warranty information

HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the Customer returns the
defective Product to HP.
Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality
at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.
HP products, including each Product, may contain remanufactured parts, components, or
materials equivalent to new in performance.

hp psc 2300 series

warranty information
HP’s limited warranty for each Product is valid in any country/region or locality where HP
has a support presence for the Product and where HP has marketed the Product. The level
of warranty service may vary according to local standards. HP shall have no obligation
to alter the form, fit, or function of the Product in order to make it operate in a country/
region or locality for which the Product was never intended to operate.

limitations of warranty
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, NEITHER HP NOR ITS THIRD PARTY
SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE COVERED HP PRODUCTS, AND
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.

limitations of liability
To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies provided in this Limited Warranty
Statement are the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS
SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, IN NO EVENT
SHALL HP OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.

local law
This Limited Warranty Statement gives the Customer specific legal rights. The Customer
may also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from
province to province in Canada, and from country/region to country/region elsewhere
in the world.
To the extent this Limited Warranty Statement is inconsistent with local law, this Statement
shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under such local law,
certain disclaimers and limitations of this Statement may not apply to the Customer. For
example, some states in the United States, as well as some governments outside the United
States (including provinces in Canada), may:
Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Statement from limiting the statutory rights
of a consumer (for example, the United Kingdom);
Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or limitations;
or
Grant the Customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied warranties
which the manufacturer cannot disclaim, or not allow limitations on the duration of implied
warranties.
FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, THE TERMS
IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY, AND ARE IN ADDITION TO,
THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THE COVERED
HP PRODUCTS TO SUCH CUSTOMERS.

hp instant share setup and use

HP Instant Share makes it easy to send photos that family and friends can view.
Just take a photo or scan an image, select the photograph or image, and use
the software on your computer to forward the media to an e-mail destination.
You can even upload your photos (depending on your country/region) to an
online photo album, or an online photo finishing service.
With HP Instant Share, family and friends always get photos they can view—no
more large downloads or images that are too big to open. An e-mail with
thumbnail images of your photos is sent with a link to a secure Web page where
your family and friends can easily view, share, print, and save your pictures.
Note: Some operating systems do not support HP Instant Share, but you
can still use your HP Photo & Imaging Director (HP Director) software to
send a photo to family and friends as an e-mail attachment. (For more
