3 Press Start Black or Start Color on the front panel to start the job.
Note: Many of the Reduce/Enlarge options, such as Fit to Page or Poster, 
will not work correctly if the glass and lid backing are not clean. For more 
information, see clean the glass on page 79 and clean the lid backing on 
page 79.
Tip:  You can copy or scan oversized originals by completely 
removing the lid from your HP PSC. To remove the lid on the 
HP PSC 2400 Series, lift the lid to the open position, and then pull 
the tab at the base of the lid upward. Your HP PSC functions 
normally with the lid removed. Replace the lid by inserting the 
tabs on the hinge back into the appropriate slot.
load paper
This section describes the basic procedure for loading paper into your HP PSC. 
There are specific considerations for loading certain types of paper, 
transparency film, postcards, and envelopes. 
After you review this procedure, see load envelopes on page 14, load 4 by 6 
inch (10 by 15 cm) photo paper on page 15, , and load postcards or Hagaki 
cards on page 15, load other types of paper in the input tray on page 16.
For best results, adjust the paper setting each time you change paper sizes. For 
more information, see set the paper size on page 18.
Tip:  Help prevent rips, wrinkles, curled or bent edges by storing 
all media flat in a resealable bag. Extreme changes in 
temperature and humidity might result in curled media that does 
not work well in the HP PSC if the media is not stored properly.
