This chapter explains how to make copies and how to use the special
copying features of the HP OfficeJet Pro. It also explains how to use
other features on the front panel and special considerations of the
automatic document feeder.
NOTE
The scanner light remains on for approximately 12 hours after you turn on the
HP OfficeJet Pro or make the first copy of the day. This keeps the bulb warm
for optimal performance. The bulb uses very little power. After 12 hours, the
OfficeJet Pro turns off the scanner bulb to save energy, and displays a “Power
Save On” message. When you are ready to use the OfficeJet Pro again, just
press any button on the front panel.

Scan To Fax
When you press the Scan T o Fax button, the HP Of ficeJet Pro scans the
original you have placed on the scanner glass or in the automatic
document feeder, and launches Symantec WinFax PRO. For
information on using this feature, see page 6-1.
Copy Quality
The Copy Quality button changes the speed and quality of the copies
you make. You can choose from the following three copy settings:
◆Best produces the highest copy quality for all paper and eliminates
the banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas.
The Best setting copies more slowly than the Normal setting.
◆Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended
setting for most of your copying. Normal is the default copy
quality setting for most paper types, and is faster than Best.
◆Fast copies faster than the Normal setting, and the text is of
comparable quality . Using Fast also cuts down on the frequency of
replacing your print cartridges because it uses less ink.

Normal 100% makes a copy that is the same size as your original.

Auto Fit pre-scans the original to determine where its edges are.
Auto Fit then reduces or enlarges the original to fit on the paper
you are copying onto.
When enlarging, Auto Fit increases the size of the copy to the
largest size that will fit on the page without distorting the image,
and centers the image on the page.
Use Auto Fit or Entire 91% to slightly reduce your original and ensure that
you copy the entire page. Entire 91% is a faster solution, because it uses a
fixed percentage to make the copy—no pre-scan is needed to calculate the
size of the original. Auto Fit is an easy solution—the Auto Fit feature
calculates the reduction percentage for you, and all your copies will be the
same size.

Using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
With the automatic document feeder , you can feed up to 30 originals
at a time. You can use letter-sized or A4-sized originals in the feeder .
Here are some other tips:
◆
Always feed your originals with the printed-side facing back in
the document feeder, and the top of the document to the right.
◆
Do not mix paper types or sizes in the ADF.
◆
Load only originals printed on 16–24 lb. paper in the document
feeder. Originals on lighter or heavier paper will not feed
correctly and may jam in the feeder.
◆
To prevent paper jams, use the ADF with plain paper or
HP Premium InkJet paper only.
◆
Do not use photo paper, transparency film, photos, labels, or
envelopes in the document feeder.
◆
When you make more than one copy using the document feeder ,
you will need to collate the sets manually.
◆
For instructions on how to clear an automatic document feeder

◆
Do not load colored originals printed on a color laser printer.

Scanning Tips
◆
Never scan at a higher resolution or bit depth than you need. It
does not improve the quality, and just takes up disk space.
◆
Photos typically are not high resolution, so scanning at a
resolution greater than 100 dpi will not improve the quality of the
scanned photo image.
◆
If you want higher resolution for your photos, use the
OfficeJet Pro 300 dpi printer destination under the Options menu.
Keep in mind that one full-page scan at that resolution can use as
much as 24 MB of disk space. See the Scanning Tutorial for more
information.
◆
If you are scanning something to go on a web site or display
screen, remember that most screens only display at 72 dpi.
◆
If you want to save an image in FlashPix (.fpx) format, launch
Adobe PhotoDeluxe, and use the TWAIN feature to scan the
image. Then save it as a .fpx file type.
Scanning While Working in a File
NOTE
5-2Scanning
Scanning Using HP ScanPicture
With HP ScanPicture, you can scan pictures directly into the document
you are working on. It is the easiest way for you to scan. Most 32-bit
Windo ws 95/98 programs that allow cutting and pasting (for example,
word processing programs, spreadsheets, and presentation packages)
can use ScanPicture.
ScanPicture is automatically listed on the File menu of many programs
after you complete the HP OfficeJet Pro installation.
Microsoft Office 97 Users: If you installed Office 97 after installing your
HP OfficeJet Pro software, you will need to run a special program to “turn on”
this feature in your Office 97 programs. See “Installing the Office 97 Utility” on
13-3 for more information.
To use ScanPicture:
1

◆HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers: For best results, manually feed
one sheet at a time, with the unprinted side facing down. Flatten
the transfer sheet completely before using; do not load curled sheets. To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed until just
before printing.
Special Considerations When Using Transparency Film
◆
Load a maximum of 80 transparency sheets at a time.
◆
Be sure to specify “Transparency” as the Paper Type setting.
◆
Ink dries slower on film. Be sure to allo w enough time for the ink
to dry before using the transparency.
◆
If you are copying from a transparency (that is, your original is
printed on transparency film), place a blank piece of paper over the
transparency on the copier glass.
NOTE
We recommend using only HP Premium Transparency Film when copying or
printing on transparencies. Other transparency film can jam in the
OfficeJet Pro.

OfficeJet Pro Over a
Network

This chapter explains how to set up the HP OfficeJet Pro and your
computers for network printing and file sharing.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
Contact your network administrator before setting up your
OfficeJet Pro for file sharing. Your company may have security
guidelines for you to follow.
Hewlett-Packard does not provide support for peer-to-peer networks,
file sharing, and printing. Check your Windows Help system or
Microsoft for assistance.
After this is done, all computers that are set up properly will be able to:
◆
Print to the HP OfficeJet Pro.
◆
Access files on the computer directly connected to the
HP OfficeJet Pro.
Your computers must already be networked to use this procedure.
Setting Up for Peer-to-Peer Printing and File Sharing
T o set up for peer-to-peer printing and file sharing, you will need to set
up your “server” computer and “client” computers.
◆
A “Server” is the computer that is connected directly to the
HP OfficeJet Pro using the supplied IEEE-1284 cable.
◆
A “Client” is another computer on your network that needs to be
set up to print to the shared HP OfficeJet Pro 1170C Series.
HP OfficeJet Pro User’s Guide 8-1
Setting Up the Server
1
Install the HP OfficeJet Pro 1170C Series software on the server,
as described in Chapter 2 of this User’s Guide.
2
Next, set up the server so that other computers on the network can
print to the HP OfficeJet Pro and access files.
NOTE
NOTE
See “Enabling file and printer sharing” and “Sharing your printer with other
people” in Microsoft Windows 95/98 Help for detailed instructions.
3
Now, create a special folder that people using other computers on
the network will be allowed to access. Name this folder
appropriately , so that it is identif ied clearly as a shared folder (for
example, “Share” or “Scanfiles”).

Maintaining Your
HP OfficeJet Pro
With minimal maintenance you can keep your HP OfficeJet Pro in top
working condition. Perform the following maintenance procedures as
necessary .
Cleaning the Exterior Case
Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off
the case. The interior of the HP OfficeJet Pro does
cleaning.
Cleaning the Glass
Dirty copier glass (fingerprints, smudges, etc.) slows down copying
and scanning performance by as much as half a minute! This is
because the scanner is actually processing the smudges on the glass.
Be sure to keep the glass clean and free from dust, smudges, and
fingerprints.
Keep fluids away from the interior of the HP OfficeJet Pro.

WARNINGTurn off the HP OfficeJet Pro and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
Even though the HP OfficeJet Pro is off, power is still being supplied if the
power cord is plugged in.
HP OfficeJet Pro User’s Guide9-1
To clean the glass:
1
Turn off the HP OfficeJet Pro, remove the power cord, and then
raise the document cover.
2
Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with
warm water and a mild soap or detergent. You may also use glass
cleaner.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the
glass; these can damage the glass. Do not place liquids directly on the
glass. They may seep under it and damage your HP OfficeJet Pro.
3
Rinse the soft cloth or sponge with clean water, wring out excess
water, and wipe the remaining soap or detergent off the glass.
4
Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent
spotting. If soap or detergent does not clean the glass sufficiently,
you can use isopropyl alcohol as a cleaning agent.

12-6Troubleshooting
First, check to make sure your computer is turned on. If it is,
next check the cable connection between your computer and
the OfficeJet Pro. Be sure to use only the special IEEE-1284
parallel printer cable that came with your product. The
connection must be direct, not through any other parallel
product, such as a CD-ROM drive.
After you have checked all connections, open the 1170C
Series Toolbox. Click the Product Services tab, and select
Check Product Communication.
Then try to print or scan again. If the problem persists, one
of the programs the OfficeJet Pro uses during scanning may
not be installed, or may already be running.
Check to be sure that the file hpmdlbia.exe is installed in
your c:\windows\system folder . If it is, restart your computer
and try again.
If it is not, you must reinstall the HP components. First,
uninstall the HP components (see page 13-1). Then reinstall
the HP components following the procedure on page 13-2.
