About Your Copier
With your HP Color Copier, you can produce high-quality color and
black and white copies on letter- (8.5 x 11 in.) and A4-
(210 x 297 mm, the European standard) sized paper. You can print on
a variety of paper types, including plain paper, premium inkjet paper,
photo paper, transparency film, and iron-on transfers. You can enlarge
or reduce the size of the copies you make, from 25% to 400% of the
image’s original size, and use special sizing features to help you create
business cards, brochures, name badges—even posters. And, if you
purchased Model 145 or 155, you will be able to load up to 25 originals
in the automatic document feeder.

Step 8 — Align Your Black and Color Print Cartridges
Before you start using your HP Color Copier, you need to align the
black and color print cartridges to ensure the best copy quality.
When you turn on your HP Color Copier for the first time, you will see
the message “Initializing,” followed by the message “Press Resume to
Align Cartridges” on the front panel display.
1
Press the Select/Resume button.
The copier prints a page with two sets of paired lines on it. A set
of numbered, horizontal lines appears at the top of the page, and a
set of vertical lines, each with a unique letter, appears at the bottom
of the page.
The mid-range number for horizontal alignment appears on the
front panel display.
2
3
Look closely at the set of horizontal bars, and determine which set
of black and color lines is aligned the best.
Select the number that represents the best horizontal alignment
pattern on the front panel display, and press Select/Resume.
If necessary, use the Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons on the front
panel to change the number on the display.
The mid-range number for vertical alignment appears on the front
panel display.

5
Now look closely at the set of vertical bars, and determine which
set lines up the best.
Select the letter that represents the best vertical alignment on the
page, and press Select/Resume.
If necessary, use the Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons on the front
panel to change the letter on the display.
6
The HP Color Copier then prints another page to confirm that the
print cartridges are correctly aligned.

8
Match the alignment in Sample 2 to the alignment in Sample 1.
If the lines are straight, continue with Step 9 of the setup
procedure.
If the lines are not straight, you will need to repeat the Align
Cartridges procedure. To do this, press the Menu button until the
message “Align Cartridges” is displayed, press Select/Resume,
and then repeat steps 2-4.
HP Color Copier User’s Guide 2-11
Step 9 — Test the Copier
Use the copier’s built-in Self Test to verify that the copier is operating
properly. The Self Test Page lists current front panel settings and, if
you are using Model 145 or 155, tells whether the automatic document
feeder is attached properly.
1
2
Make sure the Best, Normal, or Fast light is on and not blinking.
Press the Menu button until the message “Self Test Page” appears
in the panel display.
3
Press the Select/Resume button.
The test-page printout has a set of lines which should appear
unbroken, and colored bars which should appear solid. The
intensity of the colors will vary, depending on the type of paper
you are using (that is, plain paper, HP Premium InkJet Paper, and
so on).
For more information, see “How to Clear a Paper Jam in the
Automatic Document Feeder” on page 5-2.
4
To verify proper functioning of your copier, make a copy of the
Self Test Page.
Congratulations! You have finished setting up your HP Color Copier.
Now you are ready to start using it.

This chapter explains how to make copies and how to use the special
copying features of the HP Color Copier. It also explains how to use
other features on the copier front panel and special considerations of
the automatic document feeder (Models 145 and 155 only).
How to Make Copies
1
If it is not already on, turn on the HP Color Copier by pressing the
white button on the lower right front corner of the product.
NOTE
The scanner light remains on for approximately 12 hours after you turn on the
HP Color Copier or make the first copy of the day. This keeps the bulb warm
for optimal copying performance. The light uses very little power. After
12 hours, the Copier turns off the scanner bulb to save energy, and displays
a “Power Save On” message. When you are ready to start copying again, just
press any button on the front panel.
HP Color Copier User’s Guide 3-1
2
Manually (on the copy glass): Lift the document cover, place
the original face down on the glass along the two green borders,
and close the document cover.
Put the long edge of your original along the longer green border.
NOTE
Be sure to place all originals, including small photographs, in the corner along
the two green borders. Some features of the HP Color Copier look for items
specifically in that corner.
Using the automatic document feeder (Model 145 or 155 only):
Load the original(s) with the printed-side facing back in the document
feeder, with the top of the document to the right. Adjust the page guide
to the length of the original(s).
When the originals are in place, the phrase “Document Loaded”
appears on the display.
NOTE
Refer to “Automatic Document Feeder Requirements” on page 4-4 for
information on the types of paper you can use in the document feeder.

If you are making more than one copy, press the Plus (+) button
or the Number of Copies button followed by the Plus (+) button
until the appropriate number is displayed on the front panel.
Adjust the way your copy will look using the Copy Quality,
Reduce/Enlarge, Lighter/Darker, and Color Intensity buttons.
See “Controlling How Copies Will Look” later in this chapter for
details.

Controlling How Copies Will Look

Number of Copies
You can specify the number of copies to make in either of two ways:
‹
When “1 copy” is displayed on the front panel, press the Plus (+)
button.
‹
Press the Number of Copies button, then press the Plus (+) button.
Copy Quality
The Copy Quality button changes the speed and quality of the copies
you make. You can choose from the following three copy settings:
‹
‹
‹
Best produces the highest copy quality for all paper and eliminates
the banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas.
The Best setting copies more slowly than the Normal setting.
Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended
setting for most of your copying. Normal is the default copy
quality setting for most paper types, and is faster than Best.
Fast copies faster than the Normal setting, and the text is of
comparable quality. Using Fast also cuts down on the frequency of
replacing your print cartridges because it uses less ink.
To change the Copy Quality setting, press the Copy Quality button,
the small button directly beneath the three quality settings (Best,
Normal, Fast), until the light next to the copy quality setting you want
to use is lit.
Reduce/Enlarge Options
Using the HP Color Copier’s digital Reduce/Enlarge features, you can
quickly and easily reduce or enlarge images to the exact size you want.
NOTE
Some Reduce/Enlarge features let you specify the exact percent reduction or
enlargement you want to use. The Minus/Plus (– +) signs next to the feature
name let you know that this option is available. Press the Minus (–) or Plus (+)
button once to change the percentage by 1. Hold down the Minus
(–) or Plus (+) button to change the percentage in increments of 5.
‹
‹
Normal 100% makes a copy that is the same size as your original.
Entire 91% reduces your copy to ensure that all the edges are
copied.
3-4 Copying
‹
Auto Fit pre-scans the original to determine where its edges are.
Auto Fit then reduces or enlarges the original to fit on the paper
you are copying onto.
When enlarging, Auto Fit increases the size of the copy to the
largest size that will fit on the page without distorting the image,
and centers the image on the page.
NOTE
Use Auto Fit or Entire 91% to slightly reduce your original and ensure that
you copy the entire page. Entire 91% is a faster solution, because it uses a
fixed percentage to make the copy—no pre-scan is needed to calculate the
size of the original. Auto Fit is an easy solution—the Auto Fit feature
calculates the reduction percentage for you.
‹
Custom 100% (– +) lets you specify (using the plus or minus
buttons) the exact reduction or enlargement percentage to use.
You can specify any percentage between 25% and 400%.
‹
Poster 400% (– +) determines how to divide up the original
image and enlarge each part to end up with an image that is up to
400% larger than your original. You can specify a different
percent total enlargement using the Minus (–) or Plus (+) buttons.
A poster may be created using up to 25 sheets of paper (5 sheets
wide by 5 sheets long).
For example, you can use Poster to create posters of your work
to hang in your office or store. Use HP Premium Photo Paper for
a glossy, near-photo-quality look.
NOTE
There is a minimum 1/4-inch overlap on all pages of the poster. This ensures
that key elements on the page do not get cut off, and makes it easy for you
to paste the pages together.
‹
Clone 100% (– +) fits as many copies of the original as will fit on
one sheet of the paper you are using. You can specify a reduction
or enlargement using the Minus (–) or Plus (+) buttons.
For example, you can use Clone to make extra copies of special
photographs for family and friends. For glossy,
near-photo-quality copies, use HP Premium Photo Paper.
HP Color Copier User’s Guide 3-5
‹
Mirror 100% (– +) reverses the image of your original and makes
a copy based on the percent reduction/enlargement you specify.
You can use Mirror to copy favorite photos or images onto
HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers. Then iron the image to make
custom t-shirts, banners, and flags. You can also use Mirror to
copy presentation materials onto HP Premium Transparency Film.
Then, when you flip each film over to make your presentation, you
can write on it and erase, without worrying about smearing the ink.
NOTE
When you select Iron-On as the paper type, the HP Color Copier automatically
selects Mirror as the Reduce/Enlarge setting.

3-10 Copying
Using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
With the automatic document feeder (Models 145 and 155 only), you
can feed up to 25 originals at a time. You can use etter-sized or
A4-sized originals in the feeder. Here are some other tips:
‹
Always feed your originals with the printed-side facing back in
the document feeder, and the top of the document to the right.
‹
‹
Do not mix paper types or sizes in the ADF.
Load only originals printed on 16-24 lb. paper in the document
feeder. Originals on lighter or heavier paper will not feed
correctly and may jam in the copier.
‹
‹
‹
‹
To prevent paper jams, use the ADF with plain paper or HP
Premium Inkjet paper only.
Do not use photo paper, transparency film, photos, labels, or
envelopes in the document feeder.
When you make more than one copy using the document feeder,
you will need to collate the sets manually.

Paper Choices When Copying
The HP Color Copier is designed to copy onto a variety of paper types
and weights. Be sure that all paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and
curled or bent edges.
For best results, use HP papers.
‹
HP Premium InkJet papers ensure the maximum color brilliance.
‹
HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and
sharp text. It is opaque enough for two-sided color printing, with
no show-through. It is ideal for newsletters, reports, proposals, and
flyers.
‹
‹
HP Premium Transparency Film is designed to make your color
presentations vivid and even more impressive. This film is easy to
use and easy to handle and dries quickly without smudging.
HP Premium Heavyweight Inkjet paper is matte-coated on both
sides for double-sided copying. It is the perfect choice for near-
photographic reproductions and business graphics for report
covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.
HP Color Copier User’s Guide 4-1
‹
HP Photo Paper is a high-quality, glossy-finish, photo-based inkjet
paper. It looks and feels like a photograph and can be mounted
under glass or in an album. HP Photo paper dries rapidly and
resists 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.
Use the ordering information on page 9-4 for paper sizes, types, and

Tips on Loading Paper in the Paper Tray
‹
‹
‹
‹
‹
All paper: Load the print-side down with the letterhead (or top of
page) going into the tray first. Be sure paper is loaded fully
forward in the lower tray.
HP Premium InkJet Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the
nonprinting side of the paper and insert the paper with the arrow
side up.
HP Premium Photo Paper: Load the shiny side facing down.
Always load at least 5-10 sheets in the paper tray. You can place
the photo paper sheets on top of plain paper in the paper tray.
HP Premium Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the
white transparency strip, with arrows and the HP logo, is on top
and going into the tray first.
HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers: For best results, manually feed
one sheet at a time, with the unprinted side facing down. Flatten
the transfer sheet completely before using; do not load curled
sheets. To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed until just
before printing.
HP Color Copier User’s Guide 4-3
Special Considerations When Using Transparency Film
‹
‹
‹
Load a maximum of 80 transparency sheets at a time.
Be sure to specify “Transparency” as the Paper Type setting.
Ink dries slower on film. Be sure to allow enough time for the ink
to dry before using the transparency.
‹
If you are copying from a transparency (that is, your original is
printed on transparency film), place a blank piece of paper over the
transparency on the copier glass.
NOTE
We recommending using only HP Premium Transparency Film when copying
on transparencies. Other transparency film can jam in the copier.
Automatic Document Feeder Requirements
‹
Load a maximum of 25 originals in the automatic document feeder
at a time.
‹
Use only originals printed on plain paper (white and colored),
letterhead, and HP Premium Inkjet Paper in the 16–24 lb
(60–90 g/m ) range in the automatic document feeder.
2
‹
‹
Always insert originals with the printed-side facing back in the
feeder and the top of the paper to the right.
Do not start copying until the “Document loaded” message
appears on the front panel display and you see the Copy Quality
lights flash.
NOTE
Do not load photos, paper sizes other than letter or A4, photo paper,
transparency film, labels, or envelopes in the automatic document feeder.
Doing so may cause a paper jam.
How to Order Quality HP Papers
You can order your copier supplies from any local, authorized
HP dealer. See page 9-4 for more information.

you are using (that is, plain paper, HP Premium InkJet Paper, and
so on).

Maintaining Your
HP Color Copier
7
With minimal maintenance you can keep your HP Color Copier in top
working condition. Perform the following maintenance procedures as
necessary.
Cleaning the Exterior Case
Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off
the case. The interior of the HP Color Copier does not require
cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior of the HP Color Copier.
Cleaning the Glass
Dirty copier glass (fingerprints, smudges, etc.) slows down copier
performance by as much as half a minute! This is because the scanner
is actually processing the smudges on the glass. Be sure to keep the
glass clean and free from dust, smudges, and fingerprints.
WARNING
Turn off the HP Color Copier and unplug the power cord before cleaning. Even
though the HP Color Copier is off, power is still being supplied if the power
cord is plugged in.
HP Color Copier User’s Guide 7-1
To clean the glass:
1
Turn off the HP Color Copier, remove the power cord, and then
raise the document cover.
2
Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with
warm water and a mild soap or detergent. You may also use glass
cleaner.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the
glass; these can damage the glass.
Do not place liquids directly on the glass. They may seep under it and
damage your copier.
3
4
Rinse the soft cloth or sponge with clean water, wring out excess
water, and wipe the remaining soap or detergent off the glass.
Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent
spotting. If soap or detergent does not clean the glass sufficiently,
you can use isopropyl alcohol as a cleaning agent.
Aligning Cartridges
Use the Align Cartridges feature whenever you install new print
cartridges. See “Step 8 — Align Your Black and Color Print
Cartridges” on page 2-10 for step-by-step instructions.
Using the Self Test Page
Use the Self Test Page to check the print cartridges and to determine
whether the automatic document feeder is successfully installed.
To Print a Self Test Page:
1
Press the Menu button repeatedly until you see “Self Test” on the
front panel display.
2
Press Select/Resume.
The message “Printing” appears on the front panel display, and a
Self Test Page will be printed. See “How to Clear a Paper Jam in
the Automatic Document Feeder” on page 5-2 for more
information.
7-2 Maintaining Your HP Color Copier
Cleaning Cartridges
Use the Clean Cartridges feature when the Self Test Page shows
streaking or white lines through any of the colored bars. Do not clean
cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of your
print cartridges.
To clean the cartridges:
1
Press the Menu button repeatedly until you see “Clean
Cartridges” on the front panel display.
2
Press Select/Resume.
The message “Printing a Cleaning Check Sheet” appears on the
front panel display, and a Print Cartridge Cleaning Page will be
printed.
