Use the HP Image Zone software

You can use the HP Image Zone software to access many features not available from the control panel.

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.

Note (Windows only) If you selected the express installation of the HP Image

Zone software, the HP Image Zone Express software is installed rather than

the full application. HP Image Zone Express is recommended for computers with limited memory resources. HP Image Zone Express includes a basic set of photo editing features instead of the standard set that is included on the full installation of HP Image Zone. Windows 9x or 2000 users can only install

HP Image Zone Express.

The HP Image Zone Express software does not allow you to register your network-connected HP All-in-One using HP Instant Share. You can still access HP Instant Share from HP Image Zone Express on your computer, but you will not be able to use the HP Instant Share features from the control panel unless you install the full version of HP Image Zone.

Any mention of the HP Image Zone software in this guide and in the onscreen help for the HP Photosmart 2570 All-in-One series refers to both versions of

HP Image Zone unless otherwise noted.

Overview

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 to the HP Image Zone software differs by operating system (OS). For example, if you have a Windows computer, the HP Image Zone software entry point is the HP Solution Center window. If you have a Mac and are running OS X V10.2 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.

Contents, Index, and Search tabs

The Contents, Index, and Search tabs enable you to find any topic in the HP Image

Zone Help.

● Contents

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 your

HP All-in-One, open the 2570 series Help near the bottom of the list.

– For troubleshooting information about your HP All-in-One, open the

Troubleshooting and support book, and then open the 2570 series Troubleshooting book.

– The other books listed on the Contents tab provide information on using the

HP Image Zone software to complete tasks on your 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 Image Zone 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 seems to be related 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

18 HP Photosmart 2570 All-in-One series

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

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.

Display area

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-bystep 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.
