Auto-Off

Auto-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer. When Auto-Off is enabled, the printer will automatically turn off after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use.

For printer models with wireless or Ethernet network capability, Auto-Off is automatically disabled when the printer establishes a wireless or Ethernet network connection. Even when Auto-Off is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.

To change the Auto-Off setting from the printer software

  1. Depending on your operating system, do one of the following to open the printer software:
  • Windows 8: On the Start screen, right-click an empty area on the screen, click All Apps on the app bar, and then click the icon with the printer’s name.
  • Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All Programs, click HP, click HP Deskjet 1510 series, and then click HP Deskjet 1510 series.

Tips for print success

To print successfully, the HP ink cartridges should be functioning properly with sufficient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the product should have the appropriate settings. Print settings do not apply to copying or scanning.

Ink tips

  • Use original HP ink cartridges.
  • Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

For more information, see Replace ink cartridges on page 39.

Paper loading tips

  • Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be the same size and type to avoid a paper jam.
  • Load paper with side to be printed on facing up.
  • Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
  • Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

For more information, see Load media on page 22.

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing.

Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

ColorLok

All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks, and dry faster than ordinary plain papers.
