✦ Use only within normal office temperature and humidity ranges. The
recommended range is 59-95°F (15-35°C) and 20-80% relative humidity.
✦ Avoid direct sunlight or locations where a quick change in temperature might
cause condensation inside the machine.
✦ Make sure the location is well ventilated. Dust, gasses, or fumes (such as
ammonia or paint thinner) can damage the machine.
✦ Choose a site that is level, flat, and stable. The copier will produce some
shaking and needs to be on a sturdy surface.
✦ Be sure a grounded outlet is nearby and easily accessible.

The switch is located on the right side, lower-front corner of the copier. When
the switch is in the off position, the machine is in a “standby” condition. This
means that although it is not functional, power is still applied.
When the machine is turned on, it must complete an initialization sequence
before it will be ready to make copies. If you open the lid during the initialization, the message Close lid will appear. You will not be able to use the
copier until you close the lid and allow the initialization to finish.
Push down the left side of the switch
to turn on the HP Color Copier.
If a new print cartridge was installed while the copier was off, the copier
automatically aligns the print cartridges . This procedure takes about 60 seconds.
The alignment procedure prints a page, so paper needs to
be loaded in the copier when it is turned on. Discard the page.

depending on the type of paper used (plain paper, HP Premium Inkjet paper,
HP Premium Glossy Paper, or HP Premium Transparency Film).
If thin, random streaks appear in the color bars when the test page is printed,
they indicate a copy-quality problem. For help solving copy-quality problems,
see the section titled “Print-Cartridge Problems” in Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting and Maintenance.”

Your HP Color Copier 210 operates with four print cartridges: yellow,
magenta, cyan, and black. Except when printing the self-test page, all
four cartridges must be installed before you can make copies. Each time a
new print cartridge is installed, the copier automatically aligns the print
cartridges. A page is printed during cartridge alignment, so paper needs to
be loaded when the copier is turned on. Discard the page.
When printing black text only (about 5% density) on Letter/A4-sized paper,
ink lasts about 900 pages.
When printing graphics on Letter/A4-sized paper, using equivalent amounts
of each color, ink lasts approximately
✦ 1850 pages per set of color cartridges at 15% density

✦ 275 pages per set of color cartridges at 80% density
Remember, you must remove the protective tape from each print cartridge and
the print cartridge must be snapped fully down and forward in its stall.

Determining ink color (for users with color-vision deficiencies)
The copier uses four print cartridges. The colors, as installed from left to right,
are yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. Each cartridge has a part number that uses
a letter designation for the color of the ink. This part number is located on the
front label of the print cartridge (shown below).

Reading the ink-level indicator
To check the amount of ink in each cartridge, look at the ink-level indicator on
the front of the cartridge. As ink is dispensed from the cartridge, the green area
in the ink-level indicator (all green when full) decreases, and you will see more
black area.

The HP Color Copier 210 has been designed to copy on plain paper such as
photocopier or letterhead. For maximum color brilliance, use HP Premium
Inkjet paper. HP Premium Transparency Film and Glossy Papers provide the
highest print quality for finished presentations. Refer to the ordering information at the end of this manual for paper sizes, types, and part numbers.
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTION Do not use paper that has been preprinted by devices (such as laser printers and
CAUTIONCAUTION
copiers) that use toner. This includes some preprinted forms and letterheads. Toner will damage
your copier.
You can copy on letter-sized, A4-sized, and legal-sized paper. Color photocopy,
bond, and letterhead paper can be used in the copier; however, you cannot
copy on envelopes, labels, cards, and custom-sized letterhead or stationery.
Be sure that all paper is free of tears, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
Handle all paper types by the edges only. (Oil from fingerprints can prevent ink
from adhering to the page.)
Always load paper print-side down and letterhead first in the lower tray.
Copying on the correct side will make a significant difference in quality with
most paper types.
