down. Always load at least five sheets of regular paper in the paper
tray first, and then place the photo paper on top of the regular paper.
• 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 is going into the tray first.
• 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 (the blue stripe faces up).
• HP Greeting Cards, HP Linen Greeting Cards, or HP Felt-Textured
Greeting Cards: Insert a small stack of HP greeting-card paper, with
the print-side down into the paper tray until it stops.
• 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.

•
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

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.
Note: When copying a photo, you must select options for the correct paper
type and photo enhancement. You may also want to use the photo print
cartridge for superior print quality. With the color and photo print
cartridges installed, you have a six-ink system. See work with print
cartridges on page 42 for more information.
make copies
You can make copies using the front panel of your HP OfficeJet or by using the
HP OfficeJet software on your computer. Many copy features are available
using either method. However, you may find that the software offers easier
access to special copy features.
All copy settings that you select on the front panel are reset two minutes after
the HP OfficeJet completes the copy, unless you save the settings as the default
settings. For more information, see change settings for all copy tasks on

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.

good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and
phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. Turn ECM off (the

regulatory information
This section describes product requirements and contains 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 modular plug is 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 RJ-11C.
The REN is useful 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.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the manufacturer,
or look elsewhere in this manual, for warranty or repair information. Your
telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network
until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is
not malfunctioning.

evening.
Notice: The FCC hearing aid compatibility rules for telephones are not
applicable to this equipment.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to
send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top
or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of transmission, the date
and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity, or other
individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending
machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number
provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges
exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.) In order to program this
information into your fax machine, you should complete the steps described in
the software.
FCC statement
The United States Federal Communications Commission (in 47 CFR 15.105) has
specified that the following notice be brought to the attention of users of this
product.
Declaration of Conformity: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Class B
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is not guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•
•
•
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

notice to users of the Canadian telephone network
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal
Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection.
The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may
not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Caution! Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Note: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal
device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed
to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 5.
The REN for this product is 0.3B, based on FCC Part 68 test results.

Support. See hp customer support on page 69 for steps to take before calling
Customer Support.
hewlett-packard limited global warranty statement
extent of limited warranty
Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) warrants to the end-user customer (“Customer”) that
each HP officejet 6100 Series product (“Product”), including related software,
accessories, media, and supplies, shall be free from defects in material and
workmanship for the duration, which 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) software,
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 print cartridge or a refilled print
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 print 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.
If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective Product which is
covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being
notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the Product.
HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the Customer
returns the defective Product to HP.
Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has
functionality at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.
HP products, including each Product, may contain remanufactured parts,
components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.
HP's limited warranty for each Product is valid in any country/region or locality
where HP has a support presence for the Product and where HP has marketed
the Product. The level of warranty service may vary according to local
76
hp officejet 6100 series
warranty information
standards. HP shall have no obligation to alter the form, fit, or function of the
Product in order to make it operate in a country/region or locality for which the
Product was never intended to operate.

PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY

local law
This Limited Warranty Statement gives the Customer specific legal rights. The
Customer may also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United
States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country
elsewhere in the world.
To the extent this Limited Warranty Statement is inconsistent with local law, this
Statement shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under
such local law, certain disclaimers and limitations of this Statement may not
apply to the Customer. For example, some states in the United States, as well as
some governments outside the United States (including provinces in Canada),

Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Statement from limiting the
statutory rights of a consumer (e.g. the United Kingdom);
Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or
limitations; or
Grant the Customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied
warranties which the manufacturer cannot disclaim, or not allow limitations on
the duration of implied warranties.
FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, THE
TERMS IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY, AND ARE
IN ADDITION TO, THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO
THE SALE OF THE COVERED HP PRODUCTS TO SUCH CUSTOMERS.
