Design & Features

This is a small, neat white machine that is very unobtrusive when it is not in use. Unusually for an HP inkjet printer, a paper-feed tray folds up from the device’s top. Then, this printer feeds from the back, not the front. In contrast to the rest of its body, the printer’s tray is black where it accepts pages from A4 down to 15x10cm.

Its front is heavily undercut. The front panel folds down to be an output tray, with an extension that swivels out from the front edge to fully support pages.

The control panel comes with 4 membrane switches to control black & color prints, power, and also for job-cancel functions. Then, twin LEDs found on HP DeskJet 1513 indicate low ink in the cartridges that slide in from the front. The cartridges are located behind a black cover, revealed when you pull down the paper output tray.
