Q: Can you copy from a book (does the top lift to copy from books)?
A: The HP Officejet does not have a top that lifts up.
Q: will it print in black if out of the other colors?
A: For regular usage, this product is not designed to print using only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink. However, your printer is designed to let you print as long as possible when your cartridges start to run out of ink. When there is sufficient ink in the printhead, the printer will offer you the use of black ink only when one or more of the color cartridges are out of ink, and the use of color ink only when the black cartridge is out of ink. ? The amount that you can print using black or color ink only is limited, so have replacement ink cartridges available when you are printing with black or color ink only. ? When there is no longer sufficient ink to print you will get a message that one or more cartridges are depleted, and you will need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing.
Q: can you set like 20 pages to scan at once? Or do you need to scan one page at a time?
A: The automatic document feeder (ADF) will hold up to 50 sheets. That means that you could scan a 50-page document and it would show up at the destination as one file, 50 pages in size. I have done 20+ page scans multiple times on mine and it handles them like a champ.
Q: Will the printer function if one ink cartridge in empty?
A: I have not had any luck printing in Gray Scale. I am out of yellow ink and the printer refuses to allow me to print in only black and white. I read a series of messages and complaints on HP Support Forum where customers are livid that HP requires customers to buy yellow ink to even print in black. From what I gather from these posts is HP is not the only printer manufacturer who has deigned their printers in this way, as Henry's initial past would indicate. I find it hard to believe that there is not a better design that does not require the purchase of color ink when only black is needed. I have not found any HP literature that warns customers of this fundamental issue. Surely, had I known that I could not use my printer at all if I were out of yellow ink I would have considered other options.
Q: This is a wireless printer, but can it also be directly connected to a desk top computer?
A: Yes. I actually have it connected to 2 computers. 1 wireless and the other with a usb.
A: I think it is best to use HP ink. My last printer HP 8500) I used Office Depot brand and the quality was not good. The prints had lines and the color faded in and out. I think it may have messed up my printer because although I switched back to HP ink, the prints were not nearly as good as they were before. Also when I changed the cartridges the a message appeared on the printer that HP would not be responsible for any damages that may be caused by foreign ink (other than HP).
Q: Can I print a single envelope with ease?
A: I print envelopes with my printer, however, you will need to load more that one envelope for the feeder to catch it.
Q: Is this printer compatible with various different computer brands?
A: Yes, HP, Dell, MS Surface Pro 3, Lenovo, ASUS, Xi3, Apple iOS DEVICES
