Chapter 1: Introduction 1
Installing the HCO
NoteBefore you connect the HCO to your printer, make sure the printer
power is turned off.
Unpacking the HCO
The HCO is shipped separately from your printer. The outer carton
contains the HCO and the HCO accessories box. Unpack the HCO
accessories before you unpack the HCO.
WARNING!The HCO weighs over 66 pounds (30 kilograms). To prevent injury,
follow these instructions to unpack the HCO.
To unpack the HCO:
Step 1 Remove the accessories box from the outer carton. See
Figure 2.
Accessories
Figure 2 Unpacking the accessories box
Step 2 Remove the power cable and user manual (near the HCO’s
2 Chapter 1: Introduction
HCO
legs).
Step 3 Grasp the HCO box and set it upright. Then, remove the
cardboard on top of the HCO.
The HCO’s legs and casters should rest on the bottom of the box.
Step 4 Grasp the top and bottom of the HCO and roll it slowly out of
the box. Make sure the HCO doesn’t fall back as you roll it
from the box. See Figure 3.
HCO
Figure 3 Removing the HCO
CAUTIONWhen you unpack and install the HCO, do not use the paper input guide
on the back of the HCO to move or lift the HCO. You might damage
the guide.
Step 5 Remove the plastic bag and all the packing tape from the
HCO and set the packing material aside.
Don’t forget to open the HCO door and remove the tape on the paper
guides inside the HCO. Otherwise, paper jams will o cc u r .
It’s a good idea to save the packing material in case you need to ship
the HCO in the future.
Chapter 1: Introduction 3
Checking the accessories
Before you set up the HCO, use this checklist to make sure you’ve
received all the accessories.

Assembling the HCO
The HCO comes with a stopper unit, tray, and paper guides. (See the
checklist on page 4 for a complete list of accessories.)
To attach these accessories to the HCO:
Step 1 Use the two screws (M4 x 6) to attach the stopper to the
lower rear of the HCO. See Figure 5.
.

Attaching the stopper prevents the HCO from tipping backward when
you install the other HCO accessories.

Step 2 Slip the hooks on the back of the tray over the tray base. Use
the six screws (M4 x 12) and washers to attach the tray to the
tray base. See Figure 6.
The tray has six drilled holes for the screws.

Step 3 Locate the left paper guide and slide it through the left slot of
the paper tray. See Figure 8.
The paper guides are labeled T,L for top left and T,R for top right. The
shorter arm should be on top and the flange should point inward.
Step 4 Locate the paper size markers on the HCO and find the
alignment hole that corresponds to the desired paper size.
See Figure 7.

need to adjust the guides unless the HCO has paper stacking
problems.

Connecting the HCO to the printer
After assembling the HCO and preparing the printer, you’re ready to
attach the HCO to the printer.
To connect the HCO to the printer:
Step 1 When connecting the HCO, lift the HCO a little to make sure
the connecting pin on the stopper guide is aligned with the
stopper hole on the HCO. See Figure 20.

NoteTo disconnect the HCO from the printer, pull the latch lever towards
you and move the HCO away from the printer.
Connecting cables and powering up
After the HCO and printer are attached, you’re ready to connect the
interface cable and power cable.
Step 1 Plug the interface cable from the HCO into the connector on
the back of the printer. See Figure 22.
The connector is located at the back of the printer near the bottom.

Step 3 Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded outlet.
Step 4 Turn on the HCO power switch.
The power switch is on the lower front of the HCO. See Figure 8. It

Adjusting the paper stopper
After you install the 3,000-sheet HCO, adjust the paper stopper to fit
the size of paper you’re using.
To adjust the paper stopper:
Step 1 Locate the paper stopper on top of the HCO and position it as
shown in Figure 23.
Step 2 Locate the paper size markers on the stopper and slide the
paper stopper to the desired paper size.
Align this marker with
the desired paper size.

NoteHewlett-Packard recommends you set the paper guides as far apart
as possible (A3/A4 setting). You don’t need to adjust the guides unless
the HCO has paper stacking problems.
To adjust the paper guides:
Step 1 Locate the paper guides on the HCO.
There are two paper guides, one on each side of the HCO.
Step 2 Release a guide by unscrewing the knurled screws that
connect the guide to the top and bottom of the HCO.

Step 4 Tighten the knurled screws to reattach the guide to the
printer.
Step 5 Repeat this procedure for the guide on the other side of the
HCO.
Make sure you select the same paper size for each guide.
Clearing an HCO paper jam
If the HCO has a paper jam, you’ll see an message on the printer’s
control panel. For example:

Clearing the HCO
To clear a paper jam in the HCO:
Step 1 Open the front door of the printer and remove any jammed
paper in the reversing area. See Figure 27.
Figure 27 Clearing the reversing area
26 Chapter 2: Using the HCO
Step 2 Open the HCO door and locate HCO knob 1. See Figure 28.
Step 3 Rotate the knob counterclockwise to move paper from the
HCO input area to the lower section.
HCO knob 1
Figure 28 Rotating HCO knob 1
Step 4 Pull back lever 2 and remove any paper you find. See
Figure 29.
Lever 2
Figure 29 Pulling back lever 2
Chapter 2: Using the HCO 27
Lever 1
Step 5 If jammed paper is not visible, lift HCO lever 1 to see if any
paper is jammed near the top of the HCO. See Figure 30.
Figure 30 Lifting lever 1
Step 6 Rotate knob 1 to move any paper into view. See Figure 28.
Step 7 Remove any paper you find.
NoteWhen you check for jams, make sure you return the HCO levers to their
proper closed positions. Otherwise, more jams will occur .
Separating the HCO from the printer
If jammed paper is still not visible, paper may be jammed between the
HCO and the printer. You’ll need to separate the HC O from the
printer and check for jams.
28 Chapter 2: Using the HCO
To separate the HCO from the printer:
Step 1 Pull the HCO latch lever towards you and move the HCO
away from the printer. See Figure 31.
Latch lever
Figure 31 Separating the HCO from the printer
Move the HCO as far as the stopper that connects the HCO to the
printer allows (about 1 inch).
Step 2 Check for any paper jammed between the HCO and the
printer.
If no other paper jam messages appear on the printer’s control panel,
you’re ready to reattach the HCO and resume printing.
If the control panel still shows the same jam, search the area again. If
the control panel shows another type of jam, search the area
indicated.
