2Network setup
This section describes how to connect the HP Photosmart to a router, switch, or hub using
an Ethernet cable and how to install the HP Photosmart software for a network
connection. This is known as a wired or Ethernet network.
English
To set up the HP Photosmart on a wired
network, you need to do the following:
First, collect all of the required materials.“What you need for a wired network”
Next, connect to a wired network.“Connect the HP Photosmart to the network”
Finally, install the software.“Install the software for a network connection”
See this section:
on page 8
on page 9
on page 10
What you need for a wired network
Before you connect the HP Photosmart to a network, make sure you have all of the
required materials.
A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet
❑
port.
CAT-5 Ethernet cable.
❑
Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they
are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each
8HP Photosmart D7200 series
has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called 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.
A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection.
❑
NOTE: The HP Photosmart supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet
networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card
(NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed.
Connect the HP Photosmart to the network
To connect the HP Photosmart to the network, use the Ethernet port on the back of the
device.
To connect the HP Photosmart to the network
1. Remove the yellow plug from the back of the HP Photosmart.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the HP Photosmart.
English
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an available port on your Ethernet
router, switch, or wireless router.

network. Before you install the software, make sure you have connected the
HP Photosmart to a network.
English
NOTE: If your computer is configured to connect to a series of network drives, make
sure that your computer is currently connected to these drives before installing the
software. Otherwise, HP Photosmart installation software might try to use one of the
reserved drive letters, and you will not be able to access that network drive on your
computer.
NOTE: Installation time can range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your
operating system, the amount of available space, and the processor speed of your
computer.
To install the Windows HP Photosmart software
1. Quit all applications running on your computer, including any virus detection software.
2. Insert the Windows CD that came with the HP Photosmart into the CD-ROM drive on
your computer and follow the onscreen instructions.
3. If a dialog box about firewalls appears, follow the instructions. If you see firewall pop-
up messages, you must always accept or allow the pop-up messages.
4. On the Connection Type screen, select Through the network, and then click
Next.
The Searching screen appears as the Setup program searches for the
HP Photosmart on the network.
5. On the Printer Found screen, verify that the printer description is correct.
If more than one printer is found on the network, the Printers Found screen appears.
Select the HP Photosmart you want to connect.
6. Follow the prompts to install the software.
When you have finished installing the software, the HP Photosmart is ready for use.
7. If you disabled any virus detection software on your computer, make sure to enable
it again.
8. To test your network connection, go to your computer and print a self-test report to
the HP Photosmart.
Connect to additional computers on a network
You can share the HP Photosmart on a network so that more computers can use it. If the
HP Photosmart is already connected to a computer on the network, you must install the
HP Photosmart software for each additional computer. During the installation, the
software will discover the HP Photosmart on the network for each of the computers. Once
you have set up the HP Photosmart on the network you will not need to configure it again
when you add additional computers.

3Use the HP Photosmart features
This chapter includes information about how to use the HP Photosmart for basic
operations. In addition, it provides instructions about how to load paper, view, select, and
print photos, and replace the ink cartridges.
Load paper
This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into
the HP Photosmart for your printouts.
TIP: To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in
a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature
and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the
HP Photosmart.
Load full-size paper
You can load many types of letter or A4 paper into the main input tray of the
HP Photosmart.
To load full-size paper
1. Pull out the main input tray, and then slide the paper-width and paper-length guides
to their outermost positions.
English
2. Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper
for the following:
•Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
•Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
3. Insert the stack of paper into the main input tray with the short edge forward and the
print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops.
Use the HP Photosmart features13
English
Chapter 3
CAUTION: Make sure that the HP Photosmart is idle and silent when you load
paper into the main input tray. If the HP Photosmart is servicing the ink cartridges
or otherwise engaged in a task, the paper stop inside the device might not be in
place. You could push the paper too far forward, causing the HP Photosmart to
eject blank pages.
TIP: If you are using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the print side
down. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead, refer to the diagram
engraved in the base of the main input tray.
4. Slide the paper-width and paper-length guides inward until they stop at the edges of
the paper.
Do not overload the main input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the main
input tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
5. Push the main input tray back into the HP Photosmart.
6. Pull the output tray extender toward you, as far as it will go.
NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.
Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper
You can load up to 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper into the photo tray of the
HP Photosmart. For the best results, use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) HP Premium Plus Photo
Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper.
To load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper in the photo tray
1. Raise the output tray, and then pull out the photo tray.
14HP Photosmart D7200 series
2. Insert the stack of photo paper into the photo tray with the short edge forward and the
print side down. Slide the stack of photo paper forward until it stops.
If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the
tabs are closest to you.
3. Slide the paper-length and paper-width guides inward against the stack of photo
paper until the guides stop.
Do not overload the photo tray; make sure the stack of photo paper fits within the
photo tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.
4. Push in the photo tray, and then lower the output tray.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
•Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
•Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
•Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
•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 HP Photosmart.

not register accurately.
To check the ink levels from the control panel
1. Touch Setup on the display.
2. Touch Tools.
3. Touch Display Ink Gauge.

sure to use only the ink cartridges that came with the device. The ink in these
cartridges is specially formulated to mix with the ink in the print head assembly at firsttime setup.
If you do not already have replacement ink cartridges for the HP Photosmart, you can
order them by clicking the Shop for HP Supplies icon on your computer. On a Windows
computer this is located in the HP folder in the Start menu.
