tutorial

quick start

You can perform many functions using either the front panel or the HP Officejet software.

Even if you do not connect your HP Officejet to a computer, you can use the front panel to copy, print photos, or fax documents. You can change a wide variety of settings using the front-panel buttons and menu system.

This brief tutorial teaches you how to use your HP Officejet to make a copy, adjust copy settings, and change settings. This is not a comprehensive tutorial; its purpose is to familiarize you with the front panel and the different buttons. It should take about ten minutes to complete the tutorial, after which you can experiment on your own.

Note: We highly recommend that you take this tutorial before you start using your HP Officejet for daily tasks.

Review the table of contents or the index to find out about the other front-panel tasks covered in this Reference Guide.

load originals and load paper

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 22 and load envelopes on page 20.

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 23.

If you have the HP 250-sheet plain paper tray, you can load paper into both the main paper tray and the 250-sheet plain paper tray. If you have the 250-sheet plain paper tray, you should use it for plain paper only. Please refer to the Accessories guide that comes with the paper tray for information about installing the tray, loading paper, and adjusting paper-width and paper-length guides.

Caution! You must also have the two-sided printing accessory installed to use the 250-sheet plain paper tray.

reference guide

to load the main paper tray 1 Lift the output tray up until it catches in the raised position, and slide the

paper-width and paper-length guides to their outermost positions.

2 Tap 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.

chapter 3

3 Insert 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 paperlength guide.

4 Slide 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.

5 Lower the output tray. 6 To prevent printed paper from falling off the tray, fully extend the output-

tray extender.

tips for loading other types of paper in the main tray

The following table provides guidelines for loading certain 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 choose the

paper tray and set the paper type on page 23.

paper 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 tray first, and then place the photo paper on top of the regular paper.

• 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 printside down into the main tray until it stops.

• HP Restickable Inkjet Stickers: Place the sheets in the main tray, printside (sticker-side) down.

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

pushed all the way in.

Postcards (only works with printing)

Labels (works only with printing)

4” x 6” Photo paper (works only with printing)

Insert a stack of postcards with the print-side down into the main tray until it stops. Line the postcards up on the right side of the main tray, slide the width guide up against the left side of the cards, and then slide the paper-length guide in until it stops.

• 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 main tray, print-side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.

Insert the photo paper with the print-side down into the main tray until it stops. Place the long edge of the photo paper against the right side of the main tray, slide the paper-width guide up against the long edge of the photo paper, and slide the paper-length guide in until it stops. If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the tabs are closest to you.

paper tips

load originals and load paper

Continuous (banner) paper (works only with printing)

Continuous banner paper is also known as computer or z-fold paper.

• Before loading banner paper, remove all other paper from the main tray, then raise the output tray until it catches in the raised position.

Raise the output tray until it stays in the raised position.

Insert first edge of paper into the main tray.

• If you use non-HP banner paper, use 20-lb. paper and fan the paper before loading it.

• Verify that the stack of banner paper contains at least five pages in the stack.

• Carefully tear off the perforated edge strips from both sides of the paper stack, if any, and unfold and refold the paper to make sure the pages do not stick together.

• Put the paper in the main tray so that the unattached edge is at the top of the stack. Insert the first edge into the main tray until it stops, as shown in the illustration above.

choose the paper tray and set the paper type

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

If you have installed HP 250-sheet plain paper tray, that paper tray is the default paper tray that is used for copying. If you load a different type of paper in the main paper tray, you need to not only change the paper type settings, but also specify the paper tray to use.

Caution! You must also have the two-sided printing accessory installed to use the 250-sheet plain paper tray.

You can change copy settings from the front panel or from the HP Director. When you change settings using the front panel, the copy settings are reset two minutes after the unit completes the copy.

HP recommends paper type settings according to the type of paper you’re using. For more information, see recommended paper-type settings for copying in the onscreen User’s Guide.
