4. Solve setup problems

The following sections provide help with problems you might have while setting up the printer.

If you need more help, see the user guide (which is available on your computer after you install the software).

Problems setting up the printer

Make sure that all packing tape and material have been removed from outside and inside the printer.

Make sure that the printer is loaded with plain, white, unused A4- or Letter-size (8.5x11 inch) paper.

Make sure that any cords and cables that you are using (such as a USB cable or Ethernet cable) are in good working order.

Make sure the (Power) light is on and not blinking. When the printer is first turned on, it takes approximately 45 seconds to warm up.

Make sure the printer is displaying the home screen and that no other lights on the printer’s control panel are lit or blinking.

Make sure that the power cord and power adapter are securely connected and that the power source is working properly.

Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the tray and is not jammed in the printer.

Make sure that all latches and covers are closed properly.

Problems installing the software

Before installing software, make sure that all other programs are closed.

If the computer does not recognize the

 

path to the CD drive that you type, make

 

 

sure that you are specifying the correct

 

 

drive letter.

 

If the computer cannot recognize the HP software CD in the CD drive, inspect the HP software CD for damage. You can

also download the HP software from the HP Web site (www.hp.com/support).

If you are using a computer running Windows and are connecting using a USB cable, make sure that the USB drivers have not been disabled in the Windows Device Manager.
