2.Uninstall the software (if you have already installed it). For more information, see “Uninstall and reinstall the software” on page 7.

3.Restart your computer.

4.Turn off the product, wait one minute, then restart it.

Uninstall and reinstall the software

If your installation is incomplete, or if you connected the USB cable to the computer before prompted by the software installation screen, you might need to uninstall and then reinstall the software. Do not simply delete the HP All-in-One application files from your computer. Make sure to remove them properly using the uninstall utility provided when you installed the software that came with the HP All- in-One.

To uninstall from a Windows computer and then reinstall

1.Open the Windows control panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs.

2.Select HP Deskjet All-In-One Driver Software, and then click Change/Remove. Follow the onscreen instructions.

3.Disconnect the product from your computer.

4.Restart your computer.

NOTE: It is important that you disconnect the product before restarting your computer. Do not connect the product to your computer until after you have reinstalled the software.

5.To reinstall the software, insert the product CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions on the startup screen to install the software.

If the startup screen does not appear, double-click My Computer, double-click the CD-ROMicon with the HP logo, and then double-click setup.exe

6.Follow the onscreen instructions and the instructions provided in the Setup Guide that came with the product.

When the software installation is complete, the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon appears in the Windows system tray.

To verify that the software is properly installed, double-click the HP Solution Center icon on the desktop. If the HP Solution Center shows the essential icons (Scan Picture and Scan Document), the software has been properly installed.

For Macintosh users: Uninstall and reinstall directions are in the Readme file and in the Help files for the software.
