use a photo memory card

Note: You can cancel the transfer process only from your computer. The

HP PSC’s Cancel button does not stop transfers. Click the appropriate

button in the dialog box.

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 in Hard

Drive:Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos folder (OS 9) or Hard

Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos folder (OS X).

On a Macintosh you can use iPhoto as a transfer destination instead of the

HP Photo and Imaging Gallery. See the onscreen hp photo and imaging

help that came with your software.

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

Tip: 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 of the

HP Photo & Imaging Gallery.

For information on using Memories Disc on a Macintosh, see the onscreen

hp photo and imaging help that came with your software.

print photos by using a proof sheet

A proof sheet is a simple and convenient way to 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. An index number appears under each thumbnail along with a circle.

This section contains the following topics:

• print a proof sheet on page 20

• complete the proof sheet on page 20

• print photos by scanning a proof sheet on page 21

• create borderless prints on page 22

Tip: You can optimize 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. Insert the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector

so the print cartridge’s nozzles do not become clogged. With the

tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge installed, you

have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos.

For more information, see order print cartridges on the inside back cover

and work with print cartridges on page 32.

Note: The HP PSC does not operate properly with only one ink cartridge

inserted. The Check Print Cartridge light blinks to alert you to this situation.

After printing a proof sheet, you fill in the circles under the photos you want to

print, and place the proof sheet on the glass. The HP PSC scans the proof sheet

and prints the photos you selected, without a computer.
