Date and time stamp

[HelpRog]

How can I print date and time stamp on my documents using my HP 6400 series printer

The printer is unaware of what it is printing.

This just means control what is printed on the paper by adjusting settings in the applications or software you are using for the job.

If you have installed the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software,

and

If you have the original document - for example, in Word,

Open the Word document and use Quick Parts to insert information in the header / footer region of your document.

Reminder

Keep in mind that all the data added to the document must be located inside the printable area supported by the printer.

For example, in absolute terms for this printer series, the smallest allowed margins are 3mm on a side.

Better document margins are 1/2 inch (Narrow) -- margins cannot be smaller than the minimum supported on the printer.

Print Margin Bottom (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)	3 mm

=======================================

What else?

If you don't have the original document and you do not have PDF Editing Software, the information can be added manually.

Print the PDF file from your Browser and add the header / footer information (will include the date)

Sample - Firefox - PDF Print - Options / Additional Options

Firefox_Print_Web_Page_4

OR

Scan a Hard Copy (of at least the first page of) the document -

Open for edits > Add the Text you want to the bottom of the page > Done > Save

HP Smart - Windows - Scan - Document > Edit > Text

An older Sample - does include the Edit set (add) "Text" option
