Use the software
You can use the HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Mac Software
(Mac) to access many features not available from the control panel.
The software is installed on your computer when you set up the HP All-in-One. For
further information, see the Setup Guide that came with your device.
Note Windows users: If you selected the minimum installation of the
HP Photosmart Software, the HP Photosmart Essential software is installed
rather than the full application, HP Photosmart Premier. HP Photosmart
Essential is recommended for computers with limited memory resources.
HP Photosmart Essential includes a basic set of photo editing features instead
of the standard set that is included on the full installation of HP Photosmart
Premier.
Any mention of the software in this guide and in the onscreen Help refers to
both versions of HP Photosmart Software unless otherwise noted.
Access to the software differs by operating system (OS). For example, if you have a
Windows computer, the HP Photosmart Software entry point is the HP Solution
Center. If you have a Mac, the HP Photosmart Mac Software entry point is the
10
HP Officejet 6300 All-in-One series
HP Photosmart Studio window. Regardless, the entry point serves as the launching
pad for the software and services.
To open the HP Photosmart Software on a Windows computer
1. Do one of the following:
– On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Solution Center icon.
– In the system tray at the far right of the Windows taskbar, double-click the
HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon.
– On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, select HP,
and then click HP Solution Center.
2. If you have more than one HP device installed, select the HP All-in-One tab.
Note On a Windows computer, the features available in the HP Solution
Center vary depending on the devices you have installed. The HP Solution
Center is customized to display icons associated with the selected device. If
the selected device is not equipped with a particular feature, then the icon for
that feature does not display in the HP Solution Center.
Tip If the HP Solution Center on your computer does not contain any icons,
an error might have occurred during the software installation. To correct this,
use the Control Panel in Windows to completely uninstall the HP Photosmart
Software; then reinstall the software. For more information, see the onscreen
Help that came with the HP All-in-One.
To open the HP Photosmart Mac Software on a Mac
1. Click the HP Photosmart Studio icon in the Dock.
The HP Photosmart Studio window appears, where you can manage, edit, and
share photos.

Chapter 2
The Contents tab provides a top-down view of the topics in the Help, similar to
the table of contents in a book. This is a useful way to find all the information
provided about a single feature, such as printing photos.
– For information on tasks and features available from the control panel of the
HP All-in-One, open the 6300 series Help book near the bottom of the list.
– For troubleshooting information about the HP All-in-One, open the
Troubleshooting and support book, and then open the 6300 series
Troubleshooting book.

HP Photosmart Software to complete tasks on the HP All-in-One.

● Index
The Index tab provides an alphabetical list of index entries relevant to the topics
in the HP Photosmart Software Help.
You can use the scroll bar on the right side of
the list to view the different entries, or you can
begin typing keywords in the text box above the
list. As you type, the list of index entries
automatically advances to the entries that begin
with the letters you type.
When you see an index entry that relates to the information you are trying to find,
double-click the index entry.
– If there is only one topic in the Help associated with that index entry, that
topic appears in the display area on the right.
– If there are many applicable topics, the Topics Found dialog box appears.
Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.
● Search
The Search tab enables you to search the entire Help system for specific words,
such as "borderless print".
Tip If any of the words you are entering are fairly common (such as
"print", in the "borderless print" example), you might want to place
quotation marks around the combination of words for which you are
searching. This limits your search so that the results are more relevant to
the information you need. Instead of returning all topics that contain either
the word "borderless" or the word "print", the search will only return topics
that contain the phrase "borderless print".

After entering your search criteria, click List

the words or phrases you entered. The results
are listed in a three-column table. Each row
contains the topic Title, the Location in the Help
where the topic is contained, and the Rank,
assigned based on its relevance to your search
criteria.
By default, the results are sorted by Rank, so that the topic containing the most
instances of your search criteria is at the top of the list. You can also sort the
results by the topic's Title or Location, by clicking the table heading for that
column. To view the contents of a topic, double-click that row in the results table.
The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.

The display area on the right side of the Help window displays the Help topic you

● Topics often include links to other topics in the Help system where you can find
additional information. Sometimes a link automatically opens the new topic in the
