HOW TO PRINT
1
Check your print settings in the HP print settings box. (See page 9 to
find out how to get to the box.)
If you’re printing one copy, on plain paper with portrait orientation, the
default settings will work fine for you. (Chapters 2 and 3 explain why
you might want to change the settings for different types of printing.)

Click
OK
in the HP print settings box to save your settings.
3
Click
OK
in the
Print
box of your software program to start printing.
(You might need to click
File
and then
Print
to reach the
Print
box.)
That’s all there is to it. The printer will print one page at a time until it
finishes, delivering each printed page into the printer’s OUT tray.
