Printing Basics: Paper Trays

Paper Trays

IN Tray

You place paper and other media types for printing in the IN tray.

Pull out this tray for easy loading. Once you insert the media you

want to use, slide the paper guides so they rest snugly against the

media. Make sure to slide all media as far as it will go into the IN

tray. Make sure the IN tray is pushed back in.

OUT Tray

The printer sends its completed pages to the OUT tray. The OUT

tray has two different positions.

Down – For most types of printing (except banners). The down

position also allows single envelope printing.

Up – For ease of loading media in the IN tray and for banner

printing.

OUT Tray Extension – For printing a large number of pages. In

addition, it must be extended when you are printing in draft mode

to prevent paper from falling to the floor. To use the Out Tray

Extension, gently pull out the extension. When your print job

finishes, push the OUT Tray Extension back into its storage slot.

NOTE: Do not use the OUT Tray Extension with legal-sized paper. It

may cause a paper jam.

Printing Basics: Automatic Paper-Type Sensor

Automatic Paper-Type Sensor

When you use the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor feature, your

hp deskjet 990c automatically determines the correct paper type

for most paper or media placed into the printer’s IN tray. It scans the

first page of each new print job.

• The Automatic Paper-Type Sensor works with both HP and non-

HP media. However, it is optimized for HP media so your printer

can quickly select the appropriate paper type. For a complete list

of HP products, see “Paper and Other Media” on page 74.

• This feature is not recommended for printed or lined paper and

media.

How to Use Automatic Paper-Type Sensor

You control settings for paper type from the Paper Type/Quality

dialog box. The default setting for this dialog box is Automatic. If

you want to turn off the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor, select a

paper type other than Automatic.

To get to this dialog box:

1 From your software program’s File menu, select Print.

2 From the General menu in the print dialog box, select the Paper

Type/Quality option.

• The paper type default is Automatic.

• The print quality default is Normal.

NOTE:

If you want a different print quality, you can manually

change this setting.

3 Click OK.

• As the printer begins to pull in the first page, an optical sensor

(a blue light) quickly scans the page one or more times to

determine the best paper type setting. This takes only a few

seconds. After the paper type is determined, printing begins.

Printing Basics: Infrared (Ir) Printing

Infrared (Ir) Printing

Infrared (Ir) connectivity is a feature that enables wireless

connectivity for personal digital assistants (PDAs), PowerBooks,

and other mobile devices. Use the Infrared feature to print to the

hp deskjet 990c from an infrared device such as a PowerBook or

Palm device without any type of connecting cable. The hp deskjet

990c printer includes an infrared lens that can access and print

information sent to it by another infrared device.

Supported Operating Systems

•MacOS version 8.6

•Palm

Supported Devices

To determine if a specific device is supported by infrared, check the

manufacturer’s reference guide.

Some of the devices supported by infrared include:

• PowerBooks with infrared capability

• Some Personal Digital Assistants (including the Palm product

line)

• Digital cameras with infrared capability (including the HP

PhotoSmart)

• Some cellular phones with infrared capability

19

Printing Basics: Infrared (Ir) Printing

Using Infrared with a PowerBook

If your PowerBook is equipped with infrared technology that uses

the IrDA protocol, you can establish wireless TCP/IP or AppleTalk

connection.

For instructions, refer to one of the following:

• Reference guide or instructions that came with the PowerBook

• Manufacturer’s web site or support telephone number

• Infrared Data Association (IrDA) web site at: http://www.irda.org

Printing from a PowerBook

1 Make sure the printer is turned on.

2 Locate the infrared lens on the PowerBook.

3 Align the PowerBook’s infrared lens with the printer’s infrared

lens. Position the PowerBook up to 3 feet (1 meter) from the

printer and within a 30–degree total angle from the printer’s

infrared lens.

• The path between the two infrared devices must be clear of

obstacles.

• When the two infrared devices are lined up correctly, the

infrared light on the printer will begin to blink. This indicates

that a connection has been established between the two

devices.

4 Select your printer using the Chooser. See “Choosing Your

Printer” on page 5 for instructions.

Note:

If the PowerBook is moved out of range of the printer’s

infrared lens at any time during the printing process, the infrared

light may turn off and the printer may stop printing. If you realign

the devices within approximately 3–30 seconds, the print job will

resume.

Printing Basics: Infrared (Ir) Printing

Printing using a Palm Pilot

1 Locate the infrared lens on the Palm device. This is typically

found on one of the sides of the Palm.

2 Align the Palm Pilot’s infrared lens with the printer’s infrared lens.

Position the Palm Pilot up to 3 feet (1 meter) from the printer and

within a 30–degree total angle from the printer’ infrared lens.

• The path between the two infrared devices must be clear of

obstacles.

Note

: If the Palm Pilot is moved out of range of the printer’s

infrared lens at any time during the printing process, the infrared

light may turn off and the printer may stop printing. If you realign

the devices within approximately 3–30 seconds, the print job will

resume.

3 Do one of the following:

• Use the Beam command to send a single calendar

appointment, or one or more business cards, to-do list items, or

memos to the printer.

OR

• Use the Print command to send one or more items (such as

calendar appointments, e-mail messages, phone lists, or to-do

lists) to the printer.

The infrared light on the printer displays a solid beam during the

transfer process. When finished printing, the light will turn off.

Note:

Printing (rather than beaming) requires a printing program

in your Palm Pilot. A printing program can greatly enhance the

appearance of your printed information. When printing follow the

specific procedures of the program.
