cables
To connect the printer to a Windows PC, you need a bi-directional IEEE
1284-compliant parallel cable or a USB compliant interface cable (USB is
preferred). To connect the printer to a Macintosh computer, you need a
USB compliant interface cable. These cables are available where you
purchased your printer or at most computer supply stores, and must be
purchased separately.
memory cards
If you use your digital camera’s memory card with the printer, make sure
the memory card is a CompactFlash Type I or II, IBM Microdrive (170 MB),
or SmartMedia memory card. Memory cards must be less than 528 MB.
See “understanding memory cards” on page 22 for more information.
hp-designed inkjet paper
You can print on many different types and sizes of paper. We recommend
using HP designed inkjet paper for the best output quality. For example, if
you are printing a photo, be sure to print on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper
for photo-quality results.
HP inkjet paper can be found at most computer and office supply stores or
on the Web at www.hpshopping.com.
Note: Model 1215 has automatic paper type and size sensors to help
you get great printing results automatically. The printer uses an
optical sensor to detect paper type and size, then selects the
print mode for great results.
