The value of automatic photo improvement

There are many benefits to having all your photos automatically enhanced each time you print:

• Ideal for those who aren't interested in using specific techniques for manually adjusting and editing a photo.

How to use Instant Photo Fix

Disabling the Instant Photo Fix feature (if you'd like to make specific edits to your photo) is simple. The following instructions are for the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One, but the process is similar for other Photosmart All-in-Ones:

• Select View & Print from the main menu on the printer's display.
• Choose an image and select View.
