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.

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.

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.

load originals and load paper
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.

Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format
for your computer. You can scan just about anything:
•Photos
•Magazine articles
•Text documents
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it
into your word processor or graphics program and modify it to suit your needs.
You can do the following:
•Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report,
saving you a lot of retyping.
•Scan in a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to print
business cards and brochures for yourself.
•Scan in photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a
photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic
scrapbook.
To use the scan features, your HP Officejet and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP Officejet software should also be installed and running on
your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP Officejet software is
running, look for a status icon in the system tray.

Depending on how you set up your HP Officejet, you will either receive faxes
automatically or manually. For more information, see set the answer mode on

Your HP Officejet is automatically set to print received faxes (unless you have
turned the auto-answer feature off). If you receive a legal-size fax and your
HP Officejet is not currently set to use legal-size paper, the unit automatically
reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded (unless you disabled the
automatic-reduction feature). For more information, see set automatic reduction

•Verify that the cable is plugged fully into your HP Officejet and directly
connected to the USB port on your computer. After the cable is connected
properly, turn your HP Officejet off and then on again.
•Turn your HP Officejet off and then on again, then restart your computer.
•If the previous steps do not solve the problem, remove and reinstall the
software. For more information, see connect your hp officejet to a phone,
modem, or answering machine on page 31.

The following sections are statements from various regulatory agencies.
notice to users of the U.S. telephone network: FCC requirements
This equipment complies with FCC rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalent
Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone
company.
An FCC-compliant telephone cord and a modular plug are provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring
using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68-compliant. This equipment connects to
the telephone network through the following standard network interface jack: USOC RJ11C.
Use the REN to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on
one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all,
areas the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the
number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should
call your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes
in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation
of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so you will have the
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

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.

cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service the Product
for the failure or damage.
If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product,
HP shall either repair or replace the defective Product, at HP’s option. Where labor charges
are not covered by HP’s limited warranty, repairs shall be at HP’s standard charges for
labor.

HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund
the purchase price for the Product.

defective Product to HP.

at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.

materials equivalent to new in performance.
