Getting Started

Step 1: Unpack the Box

When unpacking the box containing your Compaq A1500 All-In-One, make sure that all of the items listed below are included. If there are any missing or damaged parts, return the All-In-One in its original packaging to the place of purchase.

Box Contents

1One Compaq A1500 All-In-One—use the All-In-One for all of your printing, faxing, copying, and scanning needs.

2One document exit tray—supports the original document when faxing, copying, or scanning is complete.

3One AC power (electrical) cord—plugs into the rear of the All-In-One to supply electrical power.

4The telephone cord—plugs into the A1500 telephone line jack.

5Two ink cartridges—1 color cartridge and 1 black cartridge.

6CD-ROM—contains the software drivers and application software required to operate the A1500.

Not Shown:

•One copy/scan sleeve—for faxing, copying, and scanning. Protects photographs to be scanned. Also allows you to scan irregular size paper.

•Documentation—provides the information required to set up, operate, and maintain the A1500. Your documentation also provides important safety information, your Limited Warranty Statement, and troubleshooting tips.

Purchase Separately

Printer cable—The Compaq A1500 uses a standard USB cable (A Plug/B Plug). This cable is not included with your All-In-One and must be purchased separately.

Photo cartridge —The color cartridge that comes with your A1500 will provide excellent near photo-quality color printing. However, an optional photo cartridge is also available for even higher quality results. You may purchase this cartridge separately.
