System requirements
Print cartridges
Please note
Your PaperJet 55/65 uses a black or colour
ink cartridge. Only one cartridge can be
installed at a time.
Faxes you receive will only be printed when
the black ink cartridge is installed.
Faxes will be stored in the memory if the
colour cartridge is installed.
If the memory becomes full, your machine
will not receive any more until you have
printed some of the faxes, so it is good
practice to keep the black ink cartridge
in the machine for all normal use.
Handling the ink cartridges
To swap over the ink cartridges

Introduction
Remove the current cartridge.
Insert the next cartridge.
Close the top cover.
Always store the ink cartridge you are not
using in the special container provided to
maintain its efficiency and print quality.
Pull cartridge towards front of machine to
lock in place.
Important
Your PaperJet 55/65 automatically
recognises whether you have the black or
colour cartridge in the printer and checks
the level of ink. When the cartridge is empty,
the display on the PaperJet 55/65 shows
OUT OF INK.
To ensure the level of ink is accurate, never
swap cartridges between dif ferent printers or
fax machines.

User Guide
The print software can detect if a document
contains colour and, if you have the wrong
cartridge installed, the PC will ask you if you
want to change it or to print using the current
cartridge.
If the document you are printing has some
black pages and some colour pages the PC will
ask if you want to use Autopilot. If you choose
Autopilot and the mono cartridge is installed,
all the black pages will be printed first. When
the black pages have printed you will be asked
to change the cartridge and the colour pages
will then be printed.
If the colour cartridge is installed when the
print request is made, the colour pages will be
printed first.
Whenever a colour cartridge is installed, your
PaperJet 55/65 display shows COLOUR
CARTRIDGE.
To print, select Print from the File menu and
click OK. Follow the on screen instructions.
To give the most economical use, your
PaperJet 55/65 will only print received faxes
when the black cartridge is installed.
If the colour cartridge is installed faxes will be
stored in the memory.
If the memory becomes full, your machine will
not receive any more until you have printed
some of the faxes, so it is good practice to
keep the black ink cartridge in the machine
for all normal use.
To print faxes from the memory, see page 19
of the main PaperJet 55/65 User Guide.

Printing documents
Autopilot does not work
Autopilot tells you when to change between
black and colour cartridges when printing
a document.
Check that your document has colour and
mono sections.
The printer driver uses a pre-set format to
store documents to be printed. Make sure
you have not set the Windows 95/98/Me EMF
format as the spool data format in the print
driver Properties box because this will prevent
the Autopilot from working properly.
Printer will not collate my document
Some applications allow you to collate printed
documents. If you have selected Collate as
well as Autopilot, the Autopilot takes priority
over the collating function.
My laptop PC will not switch on when
connected to the PaperJet 55/65
Disconnect the printer cable from the PaperJet
55/65. Turn on your laptop and PaperJet
55/65. Re-connect the printer cable.
