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.
There are two ways to load originals to your HP Digital Copier:
• Position the originals on the glass
• Feed originals into the ADF, if one is attached
You can copy almost any type of original by placing it directly on the glass.
Many of the Special Features options, such as
Which Size? or Poster, will not work correctly if the
glass and lid backing are not clean. For more
information, see clean the glass and clean the lid
backing on page 35.
Lift the lid and place the original face down on the glass, positioning
1
it in the bottom-right corner with its sides touching the right and
bottom edges.
It is important to place the original the bottom-right corner.

Tip! If your original is printed on transparency film, place a

load originals in the automatic document feeder
If your HP Digital Copier is equipped with an ADF, you can load up to 50
originals, printed side up, of the following paper types:
• Plain Paper
16 to 24lb. long grain only
• Specialty Paper
– HP Premium Inkjet Paper
– HP Bright White Inkjet Paper
Caution! Make sure you do not leave an original on the glass
when you use the ADF. This causes a paper jam.
You can also use the ADF to load the following types of originals, but you
must load them one sheet at a time:
• Other specialty papers, such as glossy paper
• Overhead transparencies, such as HP Premium Inkjet Transparency
Media
• Photo paper, such as Kodak EktaColor Edge-5 (glossy)
• Real Estate paper (single sheet only)

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.
• 16 to 24 lb. (60 to 135 gsm) copier paper or letterhead.

papers to avoid
We do not recommend the following papers:
• Any size paper other than letter, A4, or legal
• Banner paper
• 4 x 6 Photo Paper
• Paper heavier than 24 lb. (135 gsm) or lighter than 16 lb. (60 gsm)
• Paper with perforations
• Photo paper other than HP Photo Papers
• Envelopes
• Transparency film other than HP Premium
• Heavyweight paper other than HP Premium
• Multiple-part forms or label stock
tips for loading other types of paper in the main tray
The following table provides guidelines for loading certain types of paper

• 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).

paper, such as transparency film, load that paper in the main tray. Adjust
the settings for paper type to ensure the best quality and specify which
paper tray to use.

Your HP Digital Copier lets you do the following:
• Produce high-quality color and black-and-white copies using a variety
of paper types and sizes, including iron-on transfers.
• Reduce or enlarge the size of the copies you make from 25% to
400% of the copy’s original size. (Percentages may vary between
models.)
• Make the copy lighter or darker, adjust the color intensity, select the
number of copies, and specify the quality of the copies you make.
• Use special copying features to create a poster, make many sizes of
photos, make high-quality copies of photos using special photo
paper, or to create transparencies.
• Make two-sided copies or copy from two-sided documents (on some
models).
All copy settings that you select on the front panel are reset two minutes

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.
