Unboxing the Printer:

• Press the power button on your printer to turn it on.

Install Ink Cartridges:

• Open the cartridge access door.
• Wait for the carriage to stop moving.
• Insert the provided ink cartridges into the correct slots, pressing down until they snap into place.

Load Paper:

• Open the input tray and adjust the paper width guides.
• Load paper into the tray and adjust the guides to fit snugly against the paper stack.

Install Software:

• Use the included installation CD or download the latest drivers from the HP website (hp.com/support).
• Follow the onscreen instructions to install the software on your computer.

Wireless Setup (Optional):

• You can set up wireless printing using the software or through the printer control panel.
• Connect your printer to the wireless network by following the prompts in the setup process.

Print Alignment Page:

• Your printer may prompt you to print an alignment page to calibrate the printheads.

Final Checks:

• Ensure that all items are properly installed, and the printer is connected to your computer or network.
