I have a HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One printer. When i use the auto feed tray it copies the page ok but it also comes out with three vertical lines. If i copy manually it is ok.

Clean the glass on the extreme left side of the printer. Lift up the feed tray and clean the vertical glass. You probably have some debris on it, such as white out or some other stuff.
We have a 6210 at work, must be similar though.
Make sure you have blank paper in tray,
Put piece you want copy of face down on scan glass, close lid, hit copy, it takes a minute to wake up.
Or put piece you want copied in auto-feed face up, hit copy, it takes a while to wake up, seems as though it is not working, then it will.
This means the read area is dirty. Clean the glass with glass or lens cleaner at the area where you place the head of the paper if you wanted to lift the cover and scan a page without the autofeeder. There may be white out or toner stuck to the glass. This can be removed with a glass blade. This answer assumes that prints from the computer are fine...
Vertical lines are caused by one of two things. 1. The photosensitive drum in the toner is scratched or the fuser has a problem. Either is an easy fix.
Are these dark lines or 'white' lines where ink isn't being applied to the paper where it should? And are they horizontal or vertical lines on the page?
If the lines are vertical (in the direction the ADF feeds, 11in long for 8 1/2 by 11) You can try cleaning the glass the scanner uses when it's using the document feeder. Pull up the top left part of the printer where the documents feed, there's a little rib in the middle of the side to help you do this, then simply pull up the assembly underneath with all the rollers in it, you should see about an inch of glass underneath and a centimeter long strip of white plastic on the assembly (this serves as the white background when feeding slimmer papers) Clean them both. I'd recomend any glass cleaner, just don't spray it in there, spray it onto a cloth.
It's hard to tell from the rest of your message what other problems you're describing. I did find a troubleshooting page at HP that shows how to address general print quality problems:
I know the name of that last link may seem misleading since you haven't described color printing issues, but the links on that page offer different general print problems and their solutions.
