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 the Microsoft stack.
