5.57 -> - Hi, I'm Agent Schroeder,
7.04 -> and today, I'll show you
how to use a photo printer
9.3 -> and the HP Smart App.
11.04 -> Here's what you'll need:
12.43 -> The HP Smart app, already
installed on your computer
15.04 -> or smart device.
16.56 -> A photo printer.
18.25 -> A camera with a memory card.
20.28 -> A USB cable.
21.84 -> And some photo paper.
23.47 -> I'll be using the HP ENVY Photo 7855,
26.59 -> and a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G smartphone.
30.74 -> The steps might be a little different
32.22 -> depending on your devices.
34.02 -> Also, if you need help
with the initial setup,
36.21 -> we've got you taken care of.
37.54 -> We have another Tech Tips video
39.05 -> on how to set up a wireless printer.
40.87 -> There's a link in the notes below.
42.53 -> Alright, let's get started.
44.63 -> Put some photo paper into the tray.
46.6 -> My printer can use large photo paper
48.5 -> in the normal paper tray,
49.98 -> and it has a special tray
for smaller paper sizes,
52.64 -> like standard 4 by 6's or 5 by 7's.
55.78 -> Take note of the proper
orientation for the paper.
58.44 -> There are usually little icons, like this,
60.58 -> to help you figure it out.
62.56 -> This is important
63.41 -> because photo paper has
one side made for printing,
65.86 -> and not all printers
feed paper the same way.
68.03 -> You don't want to accidentally
print on the wrong side.
70.23 -> When your paper is ready,
71.29 -> printing photos directly from
your phone or smart device
73.72 -> is pretty simple using the HP Smart App.
76.5 -> First, make sure your phone
is on the same wifi network
79.5 -> as your printer,
83.21 -> and open the app.
87.44 -> Tap on Print Photos,
90.68 -> and choose the folder
you'd like to print from.
93.01 -> I'll choose My Photos,
95.23 -> and then tap a photo,
98.28 -> and then Print.
102.25 -> For example, Under Layout, I
can choose the tray to print
105.31 -> by taping Paper,
108.16 -> and then Source,
110.01 -> the paper size, and the type of paper.
112.99 -> Under Resize & Move,
you can adjust the size
115.44 -> and the position of
the photo on the paper.
117.8 -> You can even choose Manual
to pinch and zoom the photo,
120.49 -> like this.
122.07 -> As you're making your selections,
123.45 -> the app will show you
the size of the photo
125.34 -> and the size of the paper in the corner.
128.09 -> Then, you can take a look at
some of the basic functions.
131.29 -> Under Rotate, you'll see
options for flipping the image
133.75 -> and changing its rotation.
135.52 -> Copies will tell the printer
how many copies to print.
138.46 -> Color mode will allow you to choose
140.02 -> whether you want the photo
in color or black and white.
143.83 -> Paper Size will give you more options
145.7 -> about which tray to print from,
147.21 -> and, of course, the paper size.
149.78 -> Under More Options, you can
access quality settings,
152.4 -> borderless printing, and adjust the scale.
155 -> Under quality, I'll choose Best,
156.73 -> because I want a high quality photo.
158.98 -> Now tap the back arrow,
162.8 -> go to the options screen,
and then tap the printer icon
165.82 -> to send the photo to the printer.
168.85 -> And here's a tip: don't
grab the photo right away.
171.46 -> Instead, let it sit for
a few seconds to dry
173.92 -> so the ink doesn't smudge.
176.4 -> Now, depending on your printer,
178.14 -> you might also be able to
print from a memory card,
180.71 -> or right from your camera
181.99 -> if you can connect it through a USB cable.
184.35 -> My camera uses an SD card that's
compatible with my printer,
187.75 -> so let me show you how that works.
189.89 -> First, locate the memory card slot
192.03 -> or the USB port on your printer.
193.69 -> For me, those are both on the
left side behind this door.
197.6 -> Insert the memory card into the slot,
199.6 -> or connect the USB cable from
the camera to the printer.
203.19 -> The printer will detect the device,
204.86 -> which can take a few seconds,
and then present your options.
207.69 -> On this HP ENVY, I'll tap Print Photos,
210.11 -> and then View and Print.
212.3 -> Select the photo or photos
that you'd like to print,
214.87 -> and then tap Continue.
216.64 -> Make any adjustments that you'd like
218.13 -> for the number of prints,
paper size, cropping,
220.51 -> and anything else your printer
might have available for you.
223.51 -> I can also tap the gear icon
225.34 -> or the pencil for even more options.
229.44 -> When you're ready, simply tap Continue.
232.11 -> Review the image one
more time, and tap Print.
236.04 -> That's all there is to it!
238.57 -> Hopefully, this video was helpful.
240.1 -> If it was, give it a like.
241.75 -> If you have any questions,
leave them in the comments,
244.29 -> and be sure to subscribe to our channel
