HP all-in-one overview
Many HP all-in-one functions can be accessed directly, without turning on your
computer. Tasks such as making a copy, sending a fax, or printing photos from a
memory card can be accomplished quickly and easily from your HP all-in-one. This
chapter describes the HP all-in-one hardware features, control panel functions, and how
to access the HP Image Zone software.
Note The HP Officejet 7300 series and HP Officejet 7400 series all-in-ones have
slightly different features. Some of the features described in this guide might not
apply to the model you purchased.
Tip You can do more with your HP all-in-one by using the HP Image Zone software
installed on your computer. The software includes enhanced copy, fax, scan, and
photo functionality, as well as troubleshooting tips and product-specific help. For
more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help and Use the HP Image
Zone to do more with your HP all-in-one.

Use the HP Image Zone to do more with your HP all-inone
The HP Image Zone software is installed on your computer when you set up your
HP all-in-one. For further information, see the Setup Guide that came with your device.
Access to the HP Image Zone software differs by operating system (OS). For example,
if you have a PC and are running Windows, the HP Image Zone software entry point is
HP all-in-one overview
the HP Director. If you have a Macintosh and are running OS X V10.1.5 or later, the
HP Image Zone software entry point is the HP Image Zone window. Regardless, the
entry point serves as the launching pad for the HP Image Zone software and services.
You can quickly and easily expand the functionality of your HP all-in-one by using the
HP Image Zone software. Look for boxes like this throughout the guide that provide
topic-specific tips and helpful information for your projects.
Access the HP Image Zone software (Windows)

feature or function, then the icon for that feature or function does not display in
the HP Director.
Tip If the HP Director 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 Image Zone software; then
