Prevent Common Printing Mistakes with HP Auto Sense

When you use HP printers and photo paper with Auto Sense technology, all you have to do is click "Print" – Auto Sense takes care of the rest.

You'll even get an alert if your photo paper is loaded incorrectly. For example, HP Auto Sense-enabled printers will alert you if paper is loaded upside-down in the paper tray, eliminating the potential for printing on the wrong side. Plus, when you print using tabbed photo papers, Auto Sense technology ensures your printer automatically adjusts to avoid printing part of your photo on the tab.

When using other photo papers, plain papers and non-HP media, HP media sensing provides automatic detection for different paper types including plain paper, photo paper and transparencies. Automatic media sensing saves the time and effort of having to select specific print settings, as well as the expense associated with making a wrong selection.

As soon as you click “Print,” Auto Sense takes over to optimize your settings. Print settings appear as a pop-up dialog box when you select “Print” under “Properties.” Since Auto Sense determines these settings automatically, you get worry-free printing up to four times faster* than prints produced with other photo papers.

Want to change an Auto Sense recommendation? No worries – you still have full control of all the printer settings. Auto Sense simply means no more mistakes, no wasted paper or ink, no blurry prints – just fast and effortless lab-quality photos every time from your HP inkjet printer.
