load originals and load paper

You can make copies from originals loaded in the automatic document feeder (ADF). You can also print and copy onto a variety of paper types, weights, sizes, and transparency films. It is important, however, that you select the right paper and make sure that it is loaded correctly and not damaged.

load originals

You can copy or scan any original by loading it in the ADF. If you are working with originals that are printed on 16-24 lb. (60-90 gsm) plain

paper or HP Premium Inkjet Paper, you can load more than one in the ADF. If you are working with photos or originals of an odd size (no smaller than

3.25 x 3.25 inches or 82 x 82 millimeters), load them in the ADF one at a time. When working with fragile, torn, or odd-sized originals, we recommend that you use a document sleeve or sheet protector (available from most office-product stores) for the original. Place a single sleeve into the ADF with the sealed edge first and the transparent side down.

fit your document.

load paper

Following is the basic procedure for loading paper. There are specific considerations for loading certain types of paper, transparency film, postcards, and envelopes. After you review this procedure, see tips for loading other types of paper in the paper tray on page 9 and load envelopes on page 9.

For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper types or paper sizes. For more information, see set the paper type on page 10.

load envelopes

Use the print feature of your software to print to envelopes with your HP Officejet. Your HP Officejet provides two methods for working with envelopes. Do not use shiny or embossed envelopes, or envelopes that have clasps or windows.

• If you are printing one envelope,

• If you are printing multiple

slide the envelope into the envelope slot, which is located on the right side toward the back of the output tray. Insert the envelope with the flap up and on the left, as shown in the illustration. Slide the envelope on the top until it stops.

envelopes, remove all paper from the paper tray. Slide a stack of envelopes into the tray, with the envelope flaps up and to the left (print-side down), until they stop.

Adjust the paper-width guide against the envelopes (be careful not to bend the envelopes). Make sure the envelopes fit within the tray (do not overload it).

Consult the help files in your word-processing software for details on how to format text for printing on envelopes.

tips for loading other types of paper in the paper tray

This section provides guidelines for loading special types of paper and transparency film. For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper types and paper sizes. For more information, see set the paper

type on page 10.

HP Inkjet T-Shirt Transfer Iron-On

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 and the blue stripe facing up.

HP Premium or Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film

Insert the film so that the white transparency strip with arrows and the HP logo is on top and goes into the tray first.

Labels (use only for printing)

• Always use letter-size or A4-size label sheets designed for use with HP Inkjet products (like Avery Inkjet Labels), and make sure that the labels are not over two years old.

• Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking together.

• Place a stack of label sheets on top of standard paper in the paper tray, print-side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.

set the paper type

If you want to use a different type of paper, such as photo paper, transparency film, t-shirt transfer paper, or brochures, simply load that paper in the paper tray. You should then change the paper type settings to ensure the best print quality.

HP recommends paper type settings according to the type of paper you’re using. This section refers to copy options only. If you want to set the paper type for

printing, set the properties from the Print dialog box.

increase copy speed or quality

The HP Officejet provides three options that affect 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 print cartridges, because it uses less ink.
