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

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
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)
Open the HP Director from the desktop icon, system tray icon, or from the Start menu.
The HP Image Zone software features appear in the HP Director.
To open the HP Director

– On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Director icon.
– In the system tray at the far right of the Windows taskbar, double-click the
Hewlett-Packard Digital Imaging Monitor icon.
– On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, select HP,
and then click HP Director.
2 In the Select Device box, click to see a list of installed devices.

device that is selected. If the selected device is not equipped with a particular
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
reinstall the software. For more information, see the Setup Guide that came with
your HP all-in-one.

assist you with that task.
– The Services tab gives you access to digital imaging applications that can
help you view, edit, manage, and share you images.
