How can I get professional-quality prints if I don’t have a photo printer?
Use the
Buy Prints Online feature on the Photosmart Express Menu (see
“
Buying prints online” on page 30).
The camera does not turn on.
• Install a new or recharged battery, ensuring that the battery is inserted correctly
(see “
Install the battery” on page 5) and that you are using a rechargeable
HP Photosmart LI40 battery.
• Ensure that the memory card is the proper type (see “

remove the memory card and turn on the camera; if the camera turns on, turn off the
camera, install the memory card, turn on the camera, and format the memory card
(see “

turn on after you reinstalled the memory card, format the memory card using a
memory card reader, or replace the memory card.
