You can use the control panel keypad to enter text and symbols when you set up speed dial entries and the fax header information.
You can also enter symbols from the keypad when you dial a fax or phone number. When the HP All-in-One dials the number, it will interpret the symbol and respond accordingly. For example, if you enter a dash in the fax number, the HP All-in-One will pause before dialing the remainder of the number. A pause is useful if you need to access an outside line before dialing the fax number.

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
HP Photosmart Studio window. Regardless, the entry point serves as the launching pad for the software and services.

The way you access and use the onscreen Help varies slightly depending on whether you are viewing the Help on a Windows computer or a Mac. Guidelines for using both Help systems are included in the following sections.
This section explains how to access the onscreen Help on a Windows computer. It tells you how to use the navigation, search, and index features in the Help system to find the specific information you need.
To access the HP Photosmart Software Help on a Windows computer
1.In the HP Solution Center, click the tab for the HP All-in-One.
2.In the Device Support area, click Onscreen Guide or Troubleshooting.
–If you click Onscreen Guide, a pop-up menu appears. You can choose to open the welcome page for the entire Help system or to go specifically to the Help for the HP All-in-One.
–If you click Troubleshooting, the Troubleshooting and support page opens.
The following diagram highlights features for finding your way around the Help.

●Contents

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 4300 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 4300 series Troubleshooting book.
–The other books listed on the Contents tab provide information on using the HP Photosmart Software to complete tasks on the HP All-in-One.
Sections that contain subtopics are indicated in the list by a book icon. To view a list of the subtopics within a book, click the + sign next to the book icon. (The + sign changes to a - sign when the section is already expanded.) To view the information in a topic, click the book name or topic name on the Contents tab. The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.
●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".
14 |
HP Officejet 4300 All-in-One series |
After entering your search criteria, click List Topics to view all the Help topics that contain 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 select from one of the tabs on the left. Help topics include descriptive text, step-by- step instructions, and illustrations, if applicable.
●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 display area. At other times, there might be more than one applicable topic. When this is the case, the Topics Found dialog box appears. Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.
●Some topics include detailed instructions or additional information that is not immediately visible on the page. Look for the words Show All or Hide All at the top right side of the page. If these words are visible, it means there is additional information hidden on the page. The hidden information is indicated by dark blue text with an arrow. You can view the hidden information by clicking the dark blue text.
●Some topics include animated videos that show you how to use a particular feature. These animations are identified by a video camera icon, followed by the words "Show me how". When you click the "Show me how" link text, the animation runs in a new window.
The Help toolbar, shown below, contains buttons that enable you to move around the topics in the Help. You can move backwards and forwards through topics that you have already viewed, or you can click the Home button to return to the main page in the HP Photosmart Software Help.

The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.
To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer
Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen Help.
To enable printer sharing on a Mac

After completing all the steps in the Setup Guide, use the instructions in this section to complete your fax setup. Please keep your Setup Guide for later use.
In this section, you will learn how to set up the HP All-in-One so that faxing works successfully with equipment and services you might already have on the same phone line as the HP All-in-One.
●Set up the HP All-in-One for faxing
●Change settings on the HP All-in-One to receive faxes
●Test your fax setup
●Set the fax header
Before you begin setting up the HP All-in-One for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/region uses. The instructions for setting up the HP All-in- One for faxing differ depending on whether you have a serialor parallel-type phone system.
●If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines) does not allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the HP All-in-One. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.
Note In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone cord that came with the HP All-in-One might have an additional wall plug attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug in the HP All-in-One.
●If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a paralleltype telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of the HP All-in-One.
22 |
HP Officejet 4300 All-in-One series |
Note If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the HP All-in-One to connect the
HP All-in-One to the telephone wall jack.

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your telephone company.
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same phone line with the HP All-in-One. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the HP All-in- One, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP All-in-One in your home or office, first read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your answers.
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.
1.Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company? (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
Yes, I have DSL.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up the HP All-in-One with DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
2.Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system?

Chapter 3
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up the HP All-in-One with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
3.Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?
Yes, I have distinctive ring.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line. You do not need to continue answering questions. If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the different numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.
4.Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on the HP All-in-One?
Yes, I receive voice calls.
No.
Please continue answering questions.
5.Do you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line as the HP All-in- One?
Yes, I have a computer dial-up modem.
No.
Are you unsure if you use a computer dial-up modem? If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial-up modem:
–Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software applications through a dial-up connection?
–Do you send and receive e-mail messages on your computer through a dialup connection?
–Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection?
Please continue answering questions.
6.Do you have an answering machine that answers voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on the HP All-in-One?
Yes, I have an answering machine.
No.
Please continue answering questions.
7.Do you subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on the HP All-in-One?
Yes, I have a voice mail service.
No.
After you have completed answering the questions, proceed to the next section to select your fax setup case.

2Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One to connect to the "1-LINE" port
To set up the HP All-in-One with a separate fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1- LINE on the back of the HP All-in-One.
Note If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
2.Set the Answer Mode to Fax.
3.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
4.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the HP All-in-One will answer automatically after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the HP All-in- One. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the HP All-in- One, so the HP All-in-One can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
Note If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not be able to send and receive faxes with the HP All-in-One.
