The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to connect the HP All-in-One to your network. You can also use SecureEasySetup, if your wireless router or access point supports this feature. See the documentation that came with your wireless router or access point to find out if it supports using EasySetup and for additional setup instructions.

CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP

strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (WPA or WEP security) and a unique network name (SSID) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the HP All-in-One might accidently connect to a different wireless network in your area which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access the HP All-in-One. For more information on how to change the network name, see the documentation that came with your wireless router.

Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device before granting access to the network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access network resources. This security method is common on wireless networks.

A network using Open System authentication does not screen network users based on their identities. Any wireless user can have access from the network. However, such a network might use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption to provide a first level of security against casual eavesdroppers.

A network using Shared Key authentication provides increased security by requiring users or devices to identify themselves with a static key (a hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or device on the network shares the same key. WEP encryption is used along with shared key authentication, using the same key for both authentication and encryption.

A network using server-based (WPA-PSK) authentication provides significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless access points and wireless routers. The access point or router verifies the identity of a user or device requesting access to the network before granting that access. Several different authentication protocols might be used on an authentication server.

None: No encryption is in use.

Ethernet The most common local network technology that connects computers using

copper cabling.

Ethernet cable The cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The CAT-5

Ethernet cable is also known as a straight-through cable. When using an Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a router. An Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.

EWS Embedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple way

to manage the HP All-in-One. You can monitor status, configure HP All-inOne networking parameters, or access HP All-in-One features.

Gateway A computer or other device, such as a router, that serves as an entrance to

the Internet or another network.

HEX Hexadecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9 plus

the letters A-F.

host computer The computer at the center of a network.

Hostname The TCP/IP name assigned by the installation software to the device. By

default, this is the letters HP followed by the last 6 digits of the Media Access Control (MAC) address.

hub No longer commonly used in modern home networks, a hub takes its signal

from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers connected to the hub. Hubs are passive; other devices on the network plug into the hub in order to communicate with one another. A hub does not manage the network.

IP address A number that uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses

are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a static IP address, though this is not recommended.

MAC address Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the HP All-in-

One. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking hardware for identification. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.

network name The SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.

NIC Network Interface Card. A card on your computer that provides an Ethernet

connection so that you can connect your computer to a network.

RJ-45 connector The connector on the ends of an Ethernet cable. Although standard Ethernet

cable connectors (RJ-45 connectors) look similar to standard telephone cable connectors, they are not interchangeable. An RJ-45 connector is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.

router A router provides a bridge between two or more networks. A router can link

a network to the Internet, link two networks and connect both to the Internet, and help secure networks through the use of firewalls and assigning dynamic addresses. A router can also act as a gateway, while a switch cannot.

SSID The SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.

switch A switch makes it possible for several users to send information over a

network at the same time without slowing each other down. Switches allow different nodes (a network connection point, typically a computer) of a network to communicate directly with one another.

Papers to avoid

Load originals and load paper

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 HP All-in-One printer software.

• Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet

devices).

• 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 HP All-

in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One 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.

Additional papers to avoid when copying

• Envelopes.

• Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or HP Premium

Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.

• Iron-On Transfers.

• Greeting card paper.

• Inkjet labels.

• HP CD/DVD tattoo labels.

The HP All-in-One is equipped with memory card slots, a front USB port, and a CD/DVD drive that enable you to print or edit photos from a memory card, storage device (such as a keychain drive, portable hard drive, or a digital camera in storage mode), or a CD or DVD without uploading your photos to a computer first. Additionally, if the HP All-inOne is network-connected or connected to a computer with a USB cable, you can also transfer your photos to the computer to print, edit, or share.

The HP All-in-One supports the memory cards described below. Each type of memory card can only be inserted in the appropriate slot for that card, and only one card may be inserted at a time.

CAUTION: Do not insert more than one memory card at a time. If more than one

memory card is inserted, unrecoverable data loss might occur.
