Printing Features
This section describes the features of your new printer, such as tiling, and
the available imaging options, such as converting to grayscale. For
detailed procedures on how to use features, see the online help.
Note: The printing features described here are for Windows 95 or later, and
Windows NT 4.0 or later.
win
You can access the Printing features using the printer control panel and
right clicking on the printer icon. In Windows 95 or 98, select Properties.
In Windows NT 4.0, select Document Defaults. Most applications also let
you access printer properties from the Print dialog.

Save Your Settings

You can save the current driver settings (for example, page orientation,
paper source) for reuse. For convenience, Quick Sets can be saved from
most printer driver tabs. You can also restore printer driver default
settings by selecting Factory Defaults.

Enlarging or Reducing a Document

Use the HP ZoomSmart feature to enlarge or reduce documents.

Handout

This is useful when printing presentation slides on regular paper.

Note: If your software application has a handout feature and you select it in the
application, DO NOT select Handout in the Features Tab.

12
Tiling

Tiling lets you enlarge and print a page in sections and on different
sheets of paper. You can then tile the sheets of paper to form a large
poster.
Note:: For multiple-page documents, only the first page of the document is tiled.
Additional pages in the document must be tiled one at a time. The available tile
sizes in the dropdown list depend on the paper size selected.

Booklet

Booklet lets you print and collate a multiple-page document by printing

two pages on each side of the paper. For example, an 8-page document
is printed with pages 1 and 8 on the same side of the paper and pages 2
and 7 on the other side of the paper. Folding the printout in half creates a
booklet.
Note: If your software application has a booklet printing feature and you select it
in the application, DO NOT select Booklet in the Features Tab. If your software
application has a collating option, DO NOT select it while using the Booklet
feature.

Manual Duplex (Two-Sided Printing)

You can print on both sides of the page using the easy-to-follow on-
screen instructions.
Note: Do not print on both sides of pages that are covered densely with ink.

13
 Mirror Image

Mirror image prints the reflected image of a page. If you use this feature
when printing on transparencies, the printed side will be face down on the
projector. The other side can then be written on and cleaned off without
damaging the printed side.
You can also use this feature for printing on Iron-on T-shirt transfer
paper.

Banner

You can create a banner using software such as Corel Print House,
Microsoft® Publisher, or Broderbund Print Shop. Use big pictures and
bold fonts in big sizes. For best results, use HP Banner Paper.
Note: When using Corel Print House to create a banner, choose a border or draw
a box around the design so the printed banner is centered.

Watermark

Lets you print a watermark on the first page or on all pages of a

document.

14
Imaging Options
You can adjust the saturation, brightness, and color tone of printed
images by moving the slider bar on the Imaging tab. The saturation
controls the relative purity of printed colors. The brightness darkens or
lightens the printed image. The color tone controls the perceived warmth
and coolness of printed colors.

Grayscale Grayscale tones print images using only

shades of gray.
Sepia Tone Sepia tones give your images an antique look
by printing them using only brown and white.
Optimized for Fax Optimized for Fax prints your images using
high-contrast shades of gray making your
printed document ideal for faxing.
Image Enhancement Select Image Enhancement if you want your
images enhanced by image processing
algorithms that increase the contrast and
sharpen the image.

Preferences
The Preferences tab lets you set whether or not a document prints
immediately, a print preview is displayed, or a print confirmation is
displayed. It also lets you change what happens when the media width
sensor detects that the page is not wide enough.
Note: The Preference tab also lets you change the amount of time a page is left to
dry before the next page prints. Each paper type has a default dry time.
Ink Volume is a slider that increases or decreases the amount of ink
used, which affects the way colors appear on the page.

tips Maintaining the Printer
maintenance tips

The printer does not require scheduled maintenance. Periodic cleaning,

however, enhances the look of the printer and keeps it in peak condition.
Cleaning may also make it easier to diagnose problems.
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and
water.
Caution: Clean the printer only with water or water mixed with a mild detergent.
Using other cleaners or alcohol may damage the printer.
Caution:: The ink in the print cartridges has been carefully formulated by Hewlett-
Packard to ensure superior print quality and compatibility with your printer.
Damage to the printer or the print cartridge resulting from modifying or refilling
the print cartridge is not the responsibility of HP.

Selecting and Loading Paper

The printer prints on plain paper and most other types of paper. Most
plain paper used for photocopying yields good results.
Note: Paper does not need to be removed from the main bottom media tray when
using the alternative top media feed. The printer checks for paper feeding from
the alternative top media feed. If paper is detected, the printer picks paper from
there without checking the main bottom media tray.
• Always use paper that conforms to the printer specifications.
• Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not
use paper with cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily
textured or embossed.
• Do not use multiple-part forms.
• Load only one paper type at a time into any of the trays.
• Except when using manual feed, load the paper print side down
with the right edge of the paper aligned against the right edge of
the tray.
• Do not load more than 150 sheets of paper or 15 envelopes into
the main tray at one time. For the alternative top media feed, do
not load more than 10 sheets of paper or 3 envelopes. Load only
one sheet of paper into the manual feed tray.

19
 Using and Caring for Print Cartridges
When you open the printer’s access cover, the yellow arrow on the print
cartridge cradle aligns to one of the icons near the back of the printer. If
the Print Cartridge Status light flashes, open the printer’s access cover
and follow the instructions below.

troubleshooting Power Cannot Be Turned On
troubleshooting

• Check that the power cord is connected.

• Check that the Removable panel, located at the back of the
printer, is tightly pushed into the slot and that the knob is in the
LOCK position.

Nothing Is Printed
• Check the power
Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and
to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The Power
light on the front panel of the printer should be lit.
• Be patient
Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or
color photos take longer to begin printing. If the Power light is
blinking, the printer is processing information.
• Check the paper
Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the tray and that the paper
is not jammed in the printer.
• Check the print cartridges
Make sure that both the black and color print cartridges are
properly installed and that the access cover of the printer is
closed. The cartridge LED flashes if the print cartridges are not
installed correctly.
• Try printing a sample page
Turn the printer off, and then back on. Press the Resume button
and release it when the Resume light starts to blink. If the sample
page prints, then the problem is not with the printer.
• Check the printer setup
Make sure your HP DeskJet printer is selected as the current or
default printer and that Pause Printing is not checked.
• Check the network setup
Make sure that your printer is properly set up in your network
environment. See Use the printer on a network on the “How Do I?”

21
 Toolbox help, and the documentation provided by your network
vendors.

A Blank Page is Ejected

• Check that the tape is removed from the ink nozzles on the print
cartridges.
• Check that the media you are using is wide enough
The media width must match the page settings in your print
settings.
• Check for an empty print cartridge
If you are printing black text and a blank page is printed, your
black print cartridge may be empty. Replace the black print
cartridge.
• Check the printer setup
Make sure your printer is selected as the current or default
printer.
• Check the parallel port on your computer
If you are using a parallel cable, make sure your printer is
connected directly to the parallel port. Do not share the port with
other devices such as a Zip drive.

Placement of the Text or Graphics is Wrong

• The paper size or orientation settings may be incorrect
Make sure the paper size and page orientation selected in the
software program match the settings in the HP print settings
dialog box.
• The paper may not be loaded correctly
If everything on the page is slanted or skewed, make sure the
paper width and length guides fit snugly against the left and
bottom edges of the paper stack and that there are no more than
150 sheets of paper loaded in the main tray or 10 sheets of paper
in the alternative tray.
• The margin settings may be wrong
If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make
sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the
printable area of your printer.

Something on the Page is Missing or Incorrect

• The margin settings may be wrong
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed
the printable area of your printer.

22
 • Color print settings may be wrong
Grayscale might be selected in the HP print settings dialog box.
• The wrong printer may be selected
Make sure the correct printer is selected as the current or default
printer.

Printer Takes a Long Time to Print a Job

• Check your system configuration
The minimum system configuration for your printer is 486-
66MHz with 24MB RAM. However, the printer performance is
optimized for Pentium machines.
• There may be insufficient hard disk space in your system
For printing on 11"x17" paper, it is recommended that you should
have at least 50MB free hard disk space in your system. If you
are printing graphics-intensive files, make sure you have enough
(more than 50MB) hard disk space.
• For Windows 98, if you are using a parallel connection, try
switching to a USB connection. For more information, see page 9.
• There may be insufficient virtual memory in your system
Increase the size of your system’s virtual memory.
• The PhotoREt option is disabled. If you are printing Best mode on
letter-sized HP Premium Photo Paper and have disabled the
PhotoREt option, you need at least 300MB free hard disk space
in your system, and the printer takes a longer time to print.
• The port setting configuration in your system is not set to ECP
Refer to the manual that comes with your computer for
information on how to change your port setting or contact your
computer manufacturer.
• A print cartridge may be low on ink
Replace the low ink print cartridge.

Paper is Jammed in the Printer

Note: To clear the printer of any jammed paper, open the access cover and pull
the paper towards you. If you cannot reach the jammed paper, turn the panel

23
 knob at the back of the printer, remove the panel, pull out the jammed paper,
and replace the panel. If you still cannot reach the paper, lift up the output tray,
and remove the jammed paper from the main paper tray.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

• Make sure nothing is blocking the paper path.
• Do not overload the alternative paper tray. The alternative paper
tray holds up to 10 sheets of plain paper or other print material
measuring the same thickness. The bottom main tray holds up to
150 sheets of plain paper.
• Load paper properly.
• Do not use paper that is curled or crumpled.
• Always use paper that conforms with those listed in the Printer
Specifications section.

Uninstalling the Printer Software

For parallel port or network connections in Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0:
1. Start Windows and make sure no other Windows applications
are running.
2. Click Start, Programs, HP DeskJet 1220C Printer, and select
Uninstaller.
3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen, to complete
the removal of the printer software.
Note: You must have administrator privileges to uninstall the printer software in
the Windows NT 4.0.
For USB connections in Windows 98, follow the steps above, and restart
Windows. If the software was not successfully installed, or the Uninstaller
could not be found:
1. Install the printer software for a parallel port connection (LPT1)
using the Starter CD.
2. After installation is complete, uninstall the software as
described above. This will also remove previously failed USB
installations.
3. Restart Windows to complete the removal of the printer
software.

24
USB Installation Failed or Nothing Prints Through USB
(Windows 98)
• If the installation failed, uninstall the driver and retry the
installation.
• Check that your computer has a USB port and is properly
configured to use USB.
• Check that your computer is running Windows 98.
• Check that the USB cable is properly connected to the computer
and the printer.
• Check that the printer is on.
• Verify that the system detects the printer: In the System control
panel check that you can see USB Hewlett-Packard DeskJets
device name and the DeskJet 1220C printer name below.

Printer Does Not Print After Switching Ports

Important: Do not connect both the parallel cable and the USB cable to the
printer simultaneously. Only use one type of connection to the printer at one
time.
• Make sure the cable you are using is properly connected to the
computer and the printer.
• Make sure the printer is off when you switch ports. If it wasn’t, turn
the printer off then turn the printer on again.
• Check that the port setting matches the physical connection:
Click Start, Settings, Printers. Right click on the printer and
select Properties. Click the Details tab and check the port
setting.
• Print a test page: Click Start, Settings, Printers. Right click on the
printer and select Properties. Click the General tab and Print
Test Page. If the test page prints, make sure the application you
are trying to print from has the correct printer selected.

Aligning the Print Cartridges

The printer automatically aligns the print cartridges whenever you
replace one. If the printout looks like the cartridges are misaligned, you
can align them manually.
1. Open the Toolbox by double-clicking its icon on the desktop or its
icon in the Printer group.
2. Choose the Printer Services tab.
3. Select Align Print Cartridges.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to align the cartridges.

25
 Cleaning the Print Cartridges
Clean the print cartridges when lines or dots are missing from printed
text or graphics.
Note: Do not clean the print cartridge unnecessarily because this wastes ink and
shortens the life of the print cartridges.
1. Select the Preference tab from the printer driver.
2. Click the Services button.
3. Select Clean Print Cartridges.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the cartridges.

Mac Troubleshooting
• Check the power
Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and
to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The Power
light on the front panel of the printer should be lit.
• Check the cable
Make sure the cable you are using is properly connected to the
computer and the printer.
• Check the Chooser
Make sure you’ve installed the software to use the printer, and the
printer is selected. The printer’s name should be visible on the left
side of the Chooser. When you click on the printer’s icon, the
printer’s name should be available on the right side of the
Chooser. Select the printer’s name.
• Be patient
Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or
color photos take longer to begin printing. If the Power light is
blinking, the printer is processing information.
• Check the USB port
Unplug the printer from the USB port, wait a few seconds, then
plug it back in. If that does not help, try plugging the printer into
another USB port.
• Check the condition of the cable
Make sure the cable to your printer is not damaged or frayed. If
it is, contact the manufacturer of the cable and have it replaced.

26
Printing a Sample Page
Print a sample page without being connected to a computer. This allows
you to see that your printer is set up correctly.
1. Turn off the printer, and then turn it on again by pressing the Power
button.
2. Press the Resume button and release it when the Resume light starts
to blink. Your printer prints a sample page.

Printing a Diagnostic Page

1. Power on your printer.
2. Press and hold down the Power button and press the Resume button
four times.
3. Release the Power button. Your printer prints a diagnostic page.
Note: If the problem persists, contact the HP Customer Care Center listed in this
User's Guide, and if possible, supply the information on the diagnostic page.
