Your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C must be connected
parallel port. Do not use a switch box or the pass-through
port of another parallel port product such as a scanner, data/tape drive,
or CD-ROM drive.

CAUTION Connecting your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C to a switch box or the pass-through

port of another parallel product can cause erratic behavior of both products and
the possible loss of information.

Your computer’s parallel port can be set to more than one mode. Most
computers have a Setup, Hardware Configuration, or other screen that is
displayed during the boot process. The screen displays your current settings.

Common settings for parallel port modes are: Centronics(R), Bi-directional,
ECP (Extended Capabilities Port), and EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port). In
order to scan using your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C, you must have the port
set to bidirectional or ECP.

For the best scanning speed, your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C needs to be
connected to an Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). This specific parallel port
mode is available in recently manufactured computers. Your computer may
have ECP mode but not have it turned on.

NOTE If your computer does not have an ECP mode, set the port to bidirectional. Your

HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C will work in bidirectional mode. It will scan more
slowly than if the computer was set to ECP.

If your computer has a separate EPP mode, do not use it. Set your port to bidirec­tional or ECP only. Hewlett-Packard does not support EPP mode with your HP
OfficeJet Pro 1150C.

To learn more about changing the parallel port mode in your computer,
consult your computer’s User’s Guide or the ECP document that will be
installed in your HP OfficeJet Pro Utilities program group/folder when you
install your software.

1-4 Setting Up Your New HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

If you have more parallel products than you have ports or if your parallel
port does not support ECP, consider buying an ECP card for your computer.
This will be helpful especially if you do much scanning. The ECP document
in your HP OfficeJet Pro Utilities program group/folder contains a list of
recommended ECP cards.

Communication Communication

Communication

Communication Communication

As part of the software installation process, a test is performed to confirm
communication between your PC and the HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C. Results
of the test will be presented on your PC monitor. If the bidirectional
communication test fails, it is highly recommended you read important
information about bidirectional communication and ECP in the ECP
document that is located in your HP OfficeJet Pro Utilities program group/
folder.

NOTE If bidirectional communication is not established during the communications

test, you must manually set the front panel language and paper size. Refer
to “Change the Front Panel Language” in Chapter 2.

2 Rest the box on its side and pull your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C out.

3 Remove the packing material and the orange packing tape from the outside

of the unit.

4 Remove the two yellow/orange plastic inserts from the print tray by pulling

up and toward the center of the HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C.

1-6 Setting Up Your New HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

5 Check that the following items are included with your HP OfficeJet Pro

1150C:

◆

power cord

◆

IEEE-1284 parallel printer cable

◆

two CD-ROM disks and a set of software diskettes

◆

one black and one color print cartridge

◆

front-panel overlay (has text on it)

If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact the dealer from whom
you purchased your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C.

HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C User’s Guide 1-7

2 Attach the Front-Panel Overlay

Align the front-panel overlay with the front-panel buttons. Push straight
down firmly on both ends and the middle to snap the overlay into place.

3 Unlock the Scanner

The scanner lock is located beneath the front panel.

Unlock the scanner by twisting the green knob (lever) located beneath the
front panel, toward the back of your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C, until it stops.
(The knob (lever) only turns one way.)

NOTE Leave the scanner unlocked unless you need to move your HP OfficeJet Pro

1150C. Locking the scanner protects it during moving. (Refer to “Returning your
HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C for Service” in Chapter 7 for locking instructions.)

1-8 Setting Up Your New HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

4 Load Paper into Your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

1 If you haven’t already done so, remove the yellow/orange shipping inserts

from the paper tray.

2 Slide the paper width and length adjusters to their outermost positions.

3 Insert up to a 3/4-inch (19 mm) stack of paper into the bottom (IN) tray,

print side down, until it stops.

NOTE The output tray can hold a maximum of 50 sheets. If you are printing more than

50 sheets, remove the excess sheets from the output tray. The excess sheets may
either fall off the tray or cause a paper jam if they are not removed.

4 Slide the paper width and length adjusters in until they stop at the edges

of the paper.

HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C User’s Guide 1-9

5 Insert the Black and Color Print Cartridges

1 Lift the document cover, then open the print cartridge access cover and

remove and discard the yellow/orange shipping insert from the inside of
the cartridge cradles.

2 Lift up both of the print cartridge latches.

1-10 Setting Up Your New HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

3 Remove the color print cartridge (the thicker one) from its package and,

being careful to touch only the black plastic, gently remove both the green
pull tab and blue tape covering the nozzles.

4 Push the color print cartridge firmly down into the cradle on the left, and

close the cartridge latch.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to install the black print cartridge into the cradle on the

right.

6 Close the print cartridge access cover.

NOTE Both print cartridges must be correctly installed for HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

to work.

HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C User’s Guide 1-11

6 Connect the Power Cord

1 Turn off your computer.

IMPORTANT Use the cable that was shipped with your product. It is a specialized IEEE-1284

parallel cable that is necessary for the proper functioning of your HP OfficeJet Pro
1150C.

2 Connect the printer cable to HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C, snapping both clips

into the notches. (The connector is located on the left side toward the back
of the product.)

3 Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s parallel port and tighten

the screws. Do not use a switch box or the pass-through port of another
parallel port product such as a scanner, data/tape drive, or CD-ROM drive.

CAUTION Connecting your HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C to a switch box or the pass-through

port of another parallel product can cause erratic behavior of both products and
the possible loss of information.

1-12 Setting Up Your New HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C

The HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C comes with the power cord for the country to
which it is shipped. If the plug on your power cord doesn’t look familiar,
contact your dealer or local HP Sales and Support Office.

WARNING In case of emergencies, be sure that the plug in the outlet is readily accessible to

all persons. Power is present in the product even if the On/Off button is off. To
completely shut off power, you must disconnect the power cord.

Be sure to use the power cord with a properly grounded outlet to avoid electric
shock.

4 Plug the power cord into the back of the HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C and then

into a grounded outlet.

HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C User’s Guide 1-13
