Connect to a computer
The HP All-in-One comes equipped with a rear USB 2.0 High Speed port for connection
to a computer.
If you use a USB cable to connect the HP All-in-One to a computer on a network, you
can set up printer sharing on your computer. This enables other computers on the network
to print to the HP All-in-One, using your computer as the host.
The host computer (your computer, connected directly to the HP All-in-One by a USB
cable) has full software functionality. Other computers, which are referred to as the
clients, have access only to the print features. HP recommends up to 5 computers for
the best performance. You must perform other functions from the host computer or from
the control panel on the HP All-in-One.
To connect the product with the USB cable
▲ Refer to the Start Here guide that came with your product for information on
connecting to a computer with a USB cable.
NOTE: Do not connect the USB cable to the product until you are prompted to
do so.

Connect the HP All-in-One to a computer using a Bluetooth® wireless connection
A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetoothenabled computer without using a cable. With a Bluetooth connection you can access
many of the same printing features as with a USB connection. For example, you can
check the printer status, as well as the estimated amount of ink remaining in your ink
cartridges.
NOTE: The only software functionality available with a Bluetooth connection is
printing. Scanning and software-based copying cannot be done over a Bluetooth
connection. However, stand-alone copy functions are still available.
Before you print, you must connect an HP Bluetooth Adapter to the HP All-in-One.
You must have Windows Vista or Windows XP and either the Microsoft Bluetooth
Protocol Stack or the Widcomm Bluetooth® Protocol Stack installed in order to connect
the HP All-in-One. It is possible to have both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm Stack
on your computer, but you use only one of them to connect the HP All-in-One.
• Microsoft stack: If you have Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack 2
installed on your computer, then your computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth
Stack. The Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth
automatically. If your Bluetooth
install automatically, then you do not have the Microsoft stack on your computer.
Check the documentation that came with the Bluetooth

Papers to avoid
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.

Load a CD/DVD
In addition to printing on paper, the HP All-in-One enables you to print directly on the
surface of specially coated CDs and DVDs for print jobs started from a connected
computer. You can design and create a custom label for your CD or DVD using the
software that came with the HP All-in-One. You can then print the label on your printable
CD or DVD media.
TIP: It is recommended that you write your data to the CD or DVD before printing
the label on it.
NOTE: The HP All-in-One does not support a CD/DVD print job started from the
control panel. You must use the software that came with the HP All-in-One to print on
a CD/DVD. For more information, see the software help.

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.

Change copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One provides three options that affect copy speed and quality:
• Best produces high quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect
that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the Normal or Fast
quality settings.
• Normal delivers high quality and is the recommended setting for most of your
copying. Normal copies faster than Best and is the default setting.
• Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of
the Normal setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The Fast setting uses
less ink and extends the life of your ink cartridges.

Resize an original to fit onto letter or A4 paper
The HP All-in-One enables you to make a different size copy than your original. For
example, if you are copying a page from a small book, you can enlarge the copy so it fills
the page and is easier to read. Similarly, if the original is larger than the paper you have
loaded, you can reduce the copy so none of the original content is cropped.
Press the down arrow button or the up arrow button to highlight one of the following, and
then press OK.
• Actual Size: This feature enables you to print an exact copy of the original.
• Fit to Page:This feature enables you to copy an original to fit within the printable
margins of a page without the risk of cropping some part of your original.

of the page do not extend into the binding margin.
NOTE: The HP All-in-One shifts the words and images approximately 9.5 mm
(0.37 inch) to the right. To reduce the chances of cropping along the right edge as a
result, do not use the Margin Shift and enlargement features together.
