Hi JReynolds70

Steps to Print a Poster with HP OfficeJet 5200

1. Prepare Your Poster Document

• Create or open your poster design using software such as Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or another graphic design tool.

2. Set Up the Poster Layout

• Ensure your document is set up correctly for the size of the poster:
  • If using Microsoft Word:
    • Go to the "Page Layout" menu.
    • Set the page size to your desired poster dimensions.
  • If using Adobe software:
    • Create a new document or adjust the canvas size to your desired poster dimensions.

3. Use Tiling (If Printing on Multiple Sheets)

• If your printer cannot handle large paper sizes, you can print the poster on multiple standard-sized sheets and then assemble them.
  • Many software applications offer a tiling feature to split the image across multiple pages. Look for this option in the print settings.

4. Printer Settings for Large Prints

• Open the print dialog from your software:
  • Go to "File" -> "Print".
• Select your HP OfficeJet 5200 as the printer.
• Adjust the following settings as necessary:
  • Paper Size: Choose the appropriate paper size (e.g., A3, Tabloid) if your printer supports it.
  • Orientation: Set the orientation to match your poster layout (Portrait or Landscape).
  • Print Quality: Choose "Normal" or "Best" quality for high-resolution prints.
  • Scaling: Ensure the document is scaled correctly to fit your chosen paper size.

5. Preview and Adjust

• Preview your print job to ensure everything is set up correctly.
  • Look for a "Print Preview" option in your print dialog to check the layout.

6. Print the Poster

• Click "Print" to start printing your poster.
• If using tiling, print each section and assemble the pages afterward.

Tips for Assembly (If Using Multiple Sheets)

• Trim the borders of each printed sheet carefully.
• Use tape or glue to assemble the sections of the poster.

Software Recommendations

If you need specific software to create and print posters, consider using:

• Microsoft Publisher
• Adobe Illustrator
• CorelDRAW
• Posteriza - A free tool specifically designed for printing posters.

Manually Creating Tiled Prints (If Software Doesn’t Support)

If your software does not support tiling, you can manually split your image into sections and print each part individually at correct scaling.

HP Smart App

If you are using the HP Smart App, you can also use the app to help manage print settings and create posters. Download the HP Smart App from the app store and follow the setup instructions for your model.

I hope the above is helpful
