paper
You can copy many types of originals onto different paper types, weights, and sizes, including transparency film. It is important, however, that you choose the right paper and make sure that it is loaded correctly and not damaged.

avoid paper jams

To avoid paper jams, be sure to not overload the input trays. Make sure your paper edges are not bent or crumpled in any way. Additionally, it is a good idea to remove papers from the output tray frequently. The output tray capacity is affected by the type of paper and the amount of ink you are using. For more information about output tray capacity, see on page 84.

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 12.
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 13.
If you have the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray, you can load paper into both the main paper tray and the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray. If you have the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray, you should use it for plain paper only. See load paper in the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray on page 33 for more information.
You must also have the two-sided printing accessory installed to use the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray. For more information, see attach the two-sided printing accessory on page 29.

recommended paper types

Following is a list of HP papers you can use for copying:
HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and sharp
text. It is opaque enough for two-sided color usage, with no show­through, which makes it ideal for newsletters, reports, and flyers.
HP Photo Paper, HP Premium Photo Paper, HP Everyday Photo Paper
and HP Premium Plus Photo Paper are high-quality, semi-gloss finish or matte-finish, photo-based inkjet papers. They look and feel like photographs and can be mounted under glass or in an album. Photo papers dry rapidly and resist fingerprints and smudges.
HP Iron-On T-shirt Transfers can be used to transfer your designs or
photos onto T-shirts, sweatshirts, and fabric crafts.
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film makes your color presentations
vivid and even more impressive. This film is easy to use and handle and dries quickly without smudging.
HP Premium Inkjet Heavyweight Paper is matte-coated on both sides
for two-sided copying. It is the perfect choice for near-photographic reproductions and business graphics for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.
HP Premium Inkjet Paper is the ultimate coated paper for high-
resolution usage. A smooth, matte finish makes it ideal for your special documents.
HP Professional Brochure and Flyer paper is matte-coated or glossy-
coated on both sides for two-sided use. It is the perfect choice for near-photographic reproductions and business graphics, for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.

• 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.

The HP Digital Copier has three settings that determine 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 ink cartridges, because it uses less ink.

This section provides instructions for keeping your HP Digital Copier in top working condition. Perform these maintenance procedures as necessary.

clean the glass

If the glass on your unit becomes dirty from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and so on, the performance is slowed down and the accuracy of special features, such as Fit to Page and Copy, is adversely affected.
Turn off the unit, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
1
Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a
2
nonabrasive glass cleaner. Caution! Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon
tetrachloride on the glass; these can damage it. Do not place liquids directly on the glass. They may seep under it and damage the unit.
Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.

If you install ink cartridges before the “Must Install Before” date (see
1
the back of the ink cartridge packaging), the ink cartridges expire 18 months after being installed in the HP Digital Copier.
If you install the ink cartridges after the “Must Install Before” date, the
2
cartridges expire in less than 18 months.
The expiration period is the maximum time for which an ink cartridge can be used. It is not a warranty period. To determine the expiration period of the ink cartridge in your unit, print a Self-Test Report.
For more information, see create a self-test report for cartridges and printheads on page 67.
For more information, see maintain printheads and ink cartridges on page 36 and check the ink level on page 36.

copies do not look right

The following issues relate to copies that look differently than expected.
hp digital copier series

copies are faded, colors are incorrect or dull

If you notice that colors are not what you expect, such as faces appearing with strong red undertones rather than flesh tones, then you may need to perform a color calibration. However, do not perform a color calibration unless necessary.
For more information, see perform color calibration on page 47.
do you need to replace an ink cartridge or printhead?
Print a Self-Test Report to make sure all six colors are available. If a color is missing, try cleaning the ink cartridge contacts. After cleaning, try printing again. If the problem persists, replace the color ink cartridge.
Warning! To avoid damaging the HP Digital Copier, remove an ink cartridge or a printhead only when a replacement is available.
For more information, see create a self-test report for cartridges and
printheads on page 67, clean the ink cartridge contacts on page 43 and replace the ink cartridges on page 41.
do you need to adjust the hue and tint?

are you using the highest possible copy quality?
Check the copy Quality setting. Use a high print quality (Normal or Best) for your project.
are you using the right type of paper for your project?
If the paper you are using is too fibrous, the ink may not cover the print surface. Make sure you are using a paper that is appropriate for your HP Digital Copier.
For more information, see recommended paper types on page 11.
are you trying to copy newspaper or an original on thin paper?
Copying a picture of poor quality, such as a newspaper photo, causes moiré patterns, such as bands, checks, or stripes, to appear.
To reduce moiré patterns, try placing one or more clear plastic sheet protectors directly on the glass, and then place the original face down on top of the plastic sheet.
do you need to clean the unit?
Debris may be stuck on the glass or document lid backing, which causes poor copy quality and slows down processing. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth to wipe the glass and document lid backing.

troubleshooting tips

ink cartridge and printhead problems

The following issues relate to problems with the ink cartridges and printheads inside your HP Digital Copier.
hp digital copier series

ink cartridges or printheads have problems

For best results, use only HP ink cartridges and printheads. Refilled ink cartridges may damage your unit. The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:
Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are
needed.
Ink cartridges should be stored at room temperature (60 –78 degrees
F or 15.6 –26.6 degrees C).
If the protective tape has been removed from the printhead, do not
reattach it. Reattaching the tape may damage the printhead. Place the printhead in an airtight, plastic container.
Once ink cartridges are installed in the print carriage, do not remove
them until replacements are available.
The ink cartridges have microscopic nozzles that can clog when exposed to the air for more than a few minutes. The HP Digital Copier is designed to prevent nozzles from drying out under normal use.
Caution! Be sure to turn the HP Digital Copier off from the front panel, and not from a power strip.
A printhead that is not used for a long time can also clog. This causes a noticeable decrease in print quality. To unclog the nozzles, clean the printhead.
Caution! Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges and printhead.
For more information, see clean the printhead contacts on page 45.

error message when you insert new ink cartridge or printheads

troubleshoot your digital copier
do you have the correct ink cartridges or printheads?
To avoid damaging the HP Digital Copier, remove an ink cartridge or a printhead only when a replacement is available.
The HP Digital Copier does not recognize other ink cartridges. For replacement information, see the support and warranty, or see:
did you remove the tape?
Make sure that you removed the tape from the printhead.
Warning! Be careful not to touch the copper contacts or tower. Exposing ink cartridges and printheads to air reduces their life. Do not remove the ink cartridges and printheads at the same time.
www.hp.com/go/copiers

Reinsert the print cartridges and verify that they are fully inserted and locked in place.
For more information, see handle ink cartridges and replace the ink
cartridges on page 41.
did you clean the contacts?
For more information, see clean the ink cartridge contacts on page 43. If the error reappears, replace the ink cartridge indicated in the error
message. If the cartridge was a new, return it to the place of purchase with the receipt or contact HP Support and Services to obtain a replacement.
All HP ink cartridges have an “install by” date that is printed on the box. Ink cartridges also have a 90-day warranty against defects in parts or workmanship, provided that the cartridge is installed before the “install by” date.
Cartridges that are out of ink are not covered under this warranty. Refilled cartridges may damage the unit.

ink cartridge error

ink cartridge is low or out of ink

ink cartridge is missing, or incorrect cartridge is installed

Turn the HP Digital Copier off, and then on again by pressing the power button.
If the problem persists, remove and then reinsert the ink cartridges. Do not leave ink cartridges out for an extended time.
If you continue to receive this error, your ink cartridge is probably defective. If this is a new ink cartridge, return it in the original packaging to the store where it was purchased.
Replace the ink cartridge. Do not use the defective cartridge. For more information, see replace the ink cartridges on page 41.
Warning! To avoid damaging the HP Digital Copier, do not let the unit sit longer than 24 hours without an ink cartridge.
The ink cartridge is low or out of ink. Remove the used cartridge and replace it with a new one.
To avoid damaging the HP Digital Copier, remove an ink cartridge or a printhead only when a replacement is available.
For more information, see replace the ink cartridges on page 41.
is the ink cartridge installed correctly?
If one or both of the ink cartridges are not installed or are installed incorrectly, remove and reinsert the cartridges, making sure to snap them into their holders.
For more information, see replace the ink cartridges on page 41.
did you remove the protective tape from the ink cartridge?
Carefully remove the tape from the ink cartridge.

extent of limited warranty
Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) warrants to the end-user customer (“Customer”) that each HP Digital Copier product (“Product”), including related software, if applicable, accessories, media, and supplies, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration, which duration begins on the date of purchase by the Customer.
For each hardware Product, the duration of HP’s limited warranty is one year for parts and one year for labor. For all other Products, the duration of HP’s limited warranty for both parts and labor is ninety days.
For each software Product, HP’s limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any Product shall be uninterrupted or error free.
HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of a Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result of (a) improper maintenance or modification, (b) accessories, media, or supplies not provided or supported by HP, or (c) operation outside the Product’s specifications.
For any hardware Product, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the Customer or any HP support contract with the Customer. However, if Product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service the Product for the failure or damage.
