The printing-system software CD contains the product software. The printing-system software can also be installed when the product is connected to the computer through Smart Install.

For all supported operating systems, each install option presents a series of screens that guide you through the installation process.

Software installation types for Windows

The following printing-system software installation types are available:

●Select the recommended software (default)

●Select the minimum software

Selecting Click here for more install options allows you to choose between the installation types and allows you to view the software components that are installed with each installation type.

Installing the recommended software installs these software components:

●HP Device Toolbox

●HP Help & Learn Center

●HP Printer Status and Alerts

●HP Product Improvement Study

●Reconfigure your HP Device

●Uninstall Product Software

The installer guides the installation, whether you are configuring a direct-connected or a network- connected product.

The installer additionally detects hardware and network connections, and helps guide the installation. For example, if the installer detects an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 Printer Series, it automatically configures the software connection to that product. This saves several steps. If the installer detects a network, it also guides setting up those features.

The printing-system software can be installed when the product is connected to the computer in the following configurations:

●Directly connected via a USB port

NOTE: Smart Install will begin when a USB cable is connected.
