The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to connect the HP All-in-One to your network. You can also use SecureEasySetup, if your wireless router or access point supports this feature. See the documentation that came with your wireless router or access point to find out if it supports using SecureEasySetup and for additional setup instructions.

CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP

strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security) and a unique network name (Service set identifier (SSID)) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the HP All-inOne might accidently connect to a different wireless network in your area which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access the HP All-inOne. For more information on how to change the network name, see the documentation that came with your wireless router.

NOTE: Before connecting to a wireless infrastructure network, ensure that an

Ethernet cable is not connected to the HP All-in-One.

To connect the product with the Wireless Setup Wizard

1. Write down the following information about your access point:

• Network Name (also called SSID)

• WEP Key, WPA Passphrase (if needed) If you do not know where to find this information, see the documentation that came

with your wireless access point. You might be able to find the SSID and the WEP key or WPA passphrase on the Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the access point. For information on how to open the access point EWS, see the access point documentation.

NOTE: If the network is set up with an Apple AirPort base station and you are

using a password instead of WEP HEX or WEP ASCII to access this network, you need to get the equivalent WEP key. See the documentation that came with the Apple AirPort base station for more information.

•

Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.

•

Authentication verifies the identity of a user or product before granting access to the network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access network resources. This security method is common on wireless networks.

A network using Open System authentication does not screen network users based on their identities. Any wireless user can have access from the network. However, such a network might use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption to provide a first level of security against casual eavesdroppers.

A network using Shared Key authentication provides increased security by requiring users or products to identify themselves with a static key (a hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or product on the network shares the same key. WEP encryption is used along with shared key authentication, using the same key for both authentication and encryption.

A network using server-based (WPA-PSK) authentication provides significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless access points and wireless routers. The access point or router verifies the identity of a user or product requesting access to the network before granting that access. Several different authentication protocols might be used on an authentication server.

None: No encryption is in use.

•

64-bit WEP: A 5-character or 10-hex-digit WEP key is in use.

•

128-bit WEP: A 13-character or 26-hex-digit WEP key is in use.

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos, for example, load HP Premium or HP Premium Plus photo paper in the input tray.

The following is a list of HP papers you can use for copying and printing. Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

HP Premium Plus Photo Paper

HP Premium Plus Photo Papers are the best HP photo paper, with image quality and fade resistance superior to store-processed photos. They are ideal for printing your highresolution images for framing or including in a photo album. These papers are available in several sizes, including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch), A4, and 8.5 x 11 inch.

HP Premium Photo Paper

HP Premium Photo Papers are high-quality, glossy-finish or soft gloss-finish photo papers. They look and feel like store-processed photos and can be mounted under glass or in an album. These papers are available in several sizes, including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), A4, and 8.5 x 11 inch sizes for printing or copying photos from the product.

HP Advanced Photo Paper or HP Photo Paper

HP Advanced Photo Paper or HP Photo Paper is a sturdy, glossy photo paper that features an instant-dry finish for easy handling without smudging. It resists water, smears, fingerprints, and humidity. Your prints have a look and feel comparable to a storeprocessed photo. It is available in several sizes, including A4, 8.5 x 11 inch, 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), and 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch). HP Advanced Photo Paper is marked on the nonprinting corners with the following symbol:

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film make your color presentations vivid and even more impressive. This film is easy to use and handle and dries quickly without smudging.

HP Premium Inkjet Paper

HP Premium Inkjet Paper is the ultimate coated paper for high-resolution usage. A smooth, matte finish makes it ideal for your highest-quality documents.

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and sharp text. It is opaque enough for two-sided color usage with no show-through, which makes it ideal for newsletters, reports, and flyers.

HP All-in-One Paper or HP Printing Paper

• HP All-in-One Paper is specifically designed for HP All-in-One products. It has an

extra bright blue-white shade that produces sharper text and richer colors than ordinary multifunction papers.

• HP Printing Paper is a high-quality multifunction paper. It produces documents that

look and feel more substantial than documents printed on standard multipurpose or copy paper.

To order HP papers and other supplies, go to choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one of the shopping links on the page.

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.

Recommended papers for printing only

Certain papers are supported only when you start the print job from your computer. The following list provides information about these papers.

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers. Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

Papers to avoid

Load originals and load paper

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs

• Any size paper other than those listed in the printer software.

• Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet

products).

• Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed

into these papers.

• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the product.

They can jam the product or repel the ink.

• Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck,

and the ink is more likely to smear.

• Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper

jams.

• Banner paper.

Additional papers to avoid when copying

• Envelopes.

• Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.

• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.

• Prevent curled or wrinkled photo paper by storing all unused photo paper flat in a

resealable bag.

• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

• If you are printing labels, ensure that the label sheets are no more than two years old.

Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the product, and cause paper jams.

• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack

of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.

• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure

the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.

• Use paper types that are recommended for the product.

NOTE: When you select a printing shortcut the appropriate printing options are

automatically displayed. You can leave them as is, change them, or create your own shortcuts for commonly used tasks.

Use the Printing Shortcuts tab for the following print tasks:

• General Everyday Printing: Print documents quickly.

• Photo Printing–Borderless: Print to the top, bottom, and side edges of 10 x 15 cm

(4 x 6 inch) and 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch) HP Photo Papers.

• Photo Printing–With White Borders: Print a photo with a white border around the

edges.

• Fast/Economical Printing: Produce draft-quality printouts quickly.

Create printing shortcuts

In addition to the printing shortcuts that are available in the Printing Shortcuts list, you can create your own printing shortcuts.

If you frequently print on transparency film, for example, you can create a printing shortcut by selecting the Presentation Printing shortcut, changing the paper type to HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film, and then saving the modified shortcut under a new name; for example, Transparency Presentations. After creating the printing shortcut, simply select it when printing on transparency film rather than changing the print settings each time.

Print a multiple-page document in reverse order

Because of the way the paper feeds through the HP All-in-One, the first page that prints is print side up at the bottom of the stack. Usually this means you need to put the printed pages in the correct order.

A better way is to print the document in reverse order so that the pages are stacked correctly.

every time you print a multiple-page document.
