HP Color LaserJet Pro M452nw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good evening folks.

I have a brand spanking new HP Color LaserJet Pro M452nw in the carton here in my kitchen.

Before I open it, I was wondering where I could find a document that shows and/or explains exactly how I'm supposed set the printer up (before power on or any configuration takes place.).

I'm assuming things are wrapped in plastic and such for shipping.

Like the cartridges and such.

You get the idea.

I tried the HP site and could not find anything specific to initial setup. (Lots on software docs but nothing on physically getting the printer ready for the first time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

These units ship pretty much read to go. Open the box and you will find a driver disk, power cord, possibly a USB cable and instructions. You remove the printer from the package, remove any tape that is on the exterior. Remove the paper tray and load with paper  and then insert the tray. There is nothing you need to do to the cartridges, they are preinstalled and ready to go. Power on the unit, follow the step by step instructions on the control panel and there you go.
