Printing Guide

Introduction

You can print a message or file from the device, preview a print job, define page layout options, select a printer, or print to a file. You may not be able to print all messages, such as multimedia messages or other special messages.

To add a new printer

Menu > Office > Printers > Options > Add.

To set the printer as the default printer, select Options > Set as default.
Before you print, make sure your device is properly connected to the printer.

Printer settings

To optimize the printer settings of your printer, you can change the printer settings of your device. For example, if you want to print high-quality photographs, you must set the quality mode and media type accordingly, and make sure that you use high-quality paper in your printer.

Note: These printer settings only apply when you use the HP Mobile Printing driver for printing.

To change the printer settings

Select Menu > Office > Printers > select printer you want to edit, press Options > Modify.
Change any of the following:
- Quality mode - Specifies the quality of the print. For fast printing with limited color reproduction, select Draft. For balance between printing speed and color quality, select Normal. For additional color quality, select Best. For printing images, use Best. To increase the quality of the printed images, also use high quality paper. Selecting Best increases the printing time significantly.
- Media type - Specifies the type of paper. To print images, use high-quality paper, and set the value to Photo.
- Colour mode - Specifies whether the print is in color or grayscale.
- Printer model - Specifies the Hewlett-Packard printer model. If your printer model is not listed, select a similar model.
To save your changes, press Back.
