Use the HP All-in-One to quickly and easily make copies, scan documents, or print photos
from a memory card. HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you
are printing produce the best results. The Two-sided printing accessory included with the
HP All-in-One lets you print on both sides of the page, so you can print brochures and
booklets, or just save paper.
The HP All-in-One also provides built-in templates that you can use to print narrow- and
wide-ruled notebook paper, graph paper, or music sheets that are perfect for your child’s
homework assignments. You can even print a task checklist to keep track of your list of
things to do. You can access many HP All-in-One functions directly from the control panel,
without turning on your computer.

Use the Embedded Web Server
If your computer is connected to an HP All-in-One on a network, you can access the
Embedded Web Server that resides in the HP All-in-One. The Embedded Web Server is
a web-based user interface that provides some options not available on the HP All-inOne control panel, including Webscan, a feature that lets you scan photos and documents
from the HP All-in-One to your computer using a Web browser, and advanced network
security options. Also, the Embedded Web Server enables you to monitor status, change
device preferences, and order printer supplies.
NOTE: Use the Embedded Web Server to change network settings not available on
the control panel.
