You can copy many types of originals onto different paper types, weights, and sizes, including transparency film. It is important, however, that you choose the right paper and make sure that it is loaded correctly and not damaged.

There are two ways to load originals to your HP Digital Copier:

Position the originals on the glass

Feed originals into the ADF, if one is attached

load originals on You can copy almost any type of original by placing it directly on the glass. the glass

Many of the Special Features options, such as Which Size? or Poster, will not work correctly if the glass and lid backing are not clean. For more information, see clean the glass and clean the lid backing on page 35.

1Lift the lid and place the original face down on the glass, positioning it in the bottom-right corner with its sides touching the right and bottom edges.

It is important to place the original the bottom-right corner.

Tip! If your original is printed on transparency film, place a blank piece of paper on top of the transparency for better quality.

2Close the lid.

If your HP Digital Copier is equipped with an ADF, you can load up to 50 originals, printed side up, of the following paper types:

Plain Paper

16 to 24lb. long grain only

Specialty Paper

HP Premium Inkjet Paper

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper

Caution! Make sure you do not leave an original on the glass when you use the ADF. This causes a paper jam.

You can also use the ADF to load the following types of originals, but you must load them one sheet at a time:

Other specialty papers, such as glossy paper

Overhead transparencies, such as HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Media

Photo paper, such as Kodak EktaColor Edge-5 (glossy)

Real Estate paper (single sheet only)

avoid paper jams

load paper

load the main paper tray

To avoid paper jams, be sure to not overload the input trays. Make sure your paper edges are not bent or crumpled in any way. Additionally, it is a good idea to remove papers from the output tray frequently. The output tray capacity is affected by the type of paper and the amount of ink you are using. For more information about output tray capacity, see on page 84.

Following is the basic procedure for loading paper. There are specific considerations for loading certain types of paper, transparency film, and envelopes. After you review this procedure, see tips for loading other types of paper in the main tray on page 12.

For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper types or paper sizes. For more information, see choose the paper tray and set the paper type on page 13.

If you have the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray, you can load paper into both the main paper tray and the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray. If you have the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray, you should use it for plain paper only. See load paper in the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray on page 33 for more information.

You must also have the two-sided printing accessory installed to use the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray. For more information, see attach the two-sided printing accessory on page 29.

1Make sure that the unit is on a flat, level surface.

2Make sure that the input tray is pushed completely into the unit.

3Make sure that the loaded paper is pushed completely back against the backstop of the paper tray.

4Lift the output tray up until it catches in the raised position, and slide the paper-width and paper-length guides to their outermost positions.

5Tap the stack on a flat surface to align the edges of the paper, and then check the paper for the following:

Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.

Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type, unless you are working with photo paper.

6Insert paper into the main tray print-side down until it stops. If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first.

Be careful not to use too much or too little paper. Check that the stack of paper contains several sheets but is no higher than the top of the paper-length guide.

7Slide the paper-width and paper-length guides in until they stop at the edges of the paper. Make sure that the paper stack lies flat in the main tray and fits under the tab of the paper-length guide.

8Lower the output tray.

9To prevent printed paper from falling off the tray, fully extend the output-tray extender.

recommended paper types

Following is a list of HP papers you can use for copying:

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and sharp text. It is opaque enough for two-sided color usage, with no showthrough, which makes it ideal for newsletters, reports, and flyers.

HP Photo Paper, HP Premium Photo Paper, HP Everyday Photo Paper and HP Premium Plus Photo Paper are high-quality, semi-gloss finish or matte-finish, photo-based inkjet papers. They look and feel like photographs and can be mounted under glass or in an album. Photo papers dry rapidly and resist fingerprints and smudges.

HP Iron-On T-shirt Transfers can be used to transfer your designs or photos onto T-shirts, sweatshirts, and fabric crafts.

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film makes your color presentations vivid and even more impressive. This film is easy to use and handle and dries quickly without smudging.

HP Premium Inkjet Heavyweight Paper is matte-coated on both sides for two-sided copying. It is the perfect choice for near-photographic reproductions and business graphics for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.

HP Premium Inkjet Paper is the ultimate coated paper for highresolution usage. A smooth, matte finish makes it ideal for your special documents.

HP Professional Brochure and Flyer paper is matte-coated or glossycoated on both sides for two-sided use. It is the perfect choice for near-photographic reproductions and business graphics, for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.

tips

HP papers

HP Premium Inkjet Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting

 

 

side of the paper, and then insert paper with the arrow side facing up.

 

HP Premium or Premium Plus Photo Paper: Load the glossy (print) side

 

 

down. Always load at least five sheets of regular paper in the main

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the white

 

 

transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on top and is

 

 

going into the tray first.

 

HP Iron-On T-shirt Transfers: Flatten the transfer sheet completely

 

 

before using it; do not load curled sheets. (To prevent curling, keep

 

 

transfer sheets sealed in the original package until you are ready to

 

 

use them.) Manually feed one sheet at a time, with the unprinted side

 

 

facing down (the blue stripe faces up).

 

HP Greeting Cards, Glossy Greeting Cards, or Textured Greeting

 

 

Cards: Insert a small stack of HP greeting-card paper, with the print-

 

 

side down into the main tray until it stops.

 

 

Legal-size paper

Fully extend the paper-length guide and make sure that the main tray is

 

pushed in all the way.

The HP Digital Copier has three settings that determine copy speed and quality.

Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies more slowly than the other quality settings.

Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.

Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is of comparable quality to the Normal setting, but the graphics may be of lower quality. Using Fast also cuts down on the frequency of replacing your ink cartridges, because it uses less ink.
