Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.

To connect your HP all-in-one to your computer, first see the next section for the things you will need. When you are finished connecting your HP all-in-one, you will need to install the software as described in Install the software.

What you need

●A functional Ethernet network that includes an Ethernet router, switch, or a wireless access point with Ethernet ports.

●CAT-5 Ethernet cable. If the Ethernet cable provided is not long enough for your network configuration, you might need to purchase a longer 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 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 either a wired or wireless connection to the router or access point.
