Auto Wireless Connect (for computers connected wirelessly to a network)

Auto Wireless Connect automatically configures the printer with your wireless network settings. Follow the instructions on the printer display to set up the printer hardware, and then insert the printer software CD. The software guides you through the software installation. If the Auto Wireless Connect method does not apply to your configuration or operating system, the software will guide you through another wireless installation method. For more wireless installation information, visit the HP Wireless Printing Center website (www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting).
