Use printer sharing  
If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All-  
in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.  
The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and  
has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has  
access only to the print features. You must perform other functions, such as scanning  
and copying, from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.  
To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer  
Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen  
Help.  
Connect to a network  
This section describes how to connect the HP All-in-One to a network and how to view  
and manage network settings.  
For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use  
a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the HP All-in-One and the other  
network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or  
access point, this is called an infrastructure network.  
If you connect the HP All-in-One directly to a wireless-capable computer, without using  
a wireless router or access point, this is known as an ad hoc network. You might only be  
able to connect to one wireless device at a time with an ad hoc connection.  
The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network  
include:  
Advanced network security  
Enhanced reliability  
Network flexibility  
Better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode  
If you want to:  
See this section:  
Connect to a wireless network with a wireless  
router (infrastructure).  
Connect directly to a wireless-capable  
computer without a wireless router (ad-hoc).  
Add connections to more computers on the  
network.  
Change the HP All-in-One from a USB  
connection to a network connection.  
NOTE: Use the instructions in this section if  
you first installed the HP All-in-One with a USB  
connection, and you now want to change to a  
wireless network connection.

Connect to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network  
The HP Photosmart Software CD and included USB setup cable provide an easy way to  
connect the HP All-in-One to your wireless network.  
CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP  
strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (WPA or WEP security) and  
a unique network name (SSID) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might  
have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer  
name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by  
other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the  
HP All-in-One might accidently connect to a different wireless network in your area  
which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access  
the HP All-in-One. For more information on how to change the network name, see  
the documentation that came with your wireless router.  
To connect the HP All-in-One  
1. Insert the HP Photosmart Software CD in the computer CD-ROM drive.  
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.  
When you are prompted, connect the HP All-in-One to the computer using the USB  
setup cable included in the box. The HP All-in-One will attempt to connect to the  
network. If the connection fails, follow the prompts to correct the problem, and then  
try again.  
3. When the setup is finished, you will be prompted to disconnect the USB cable and  
test the wireless network connection. Once the HP All-in-One connects successfully  
to the network, install the software on each computer that will use the device over the  
network.

Wireless (802.11) network settings  
The following table describes the 802.11 wireless settings shown on the network  
configuration page.  
Parameter  
Description  
Hardware  
Address (MAC)  
The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP All-in-One.  
This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking  
hardware for identification, including wireless access points, routers, and  
other such devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.  
NOTE: Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require that you register the  
MAC address of the Network Card or LAN Adapter that was connected to  
your cable or DSL modem during installation.  
IP Address  
This address uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses are  
assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a static  
IP address, though this is not recommended.  
NOTE: Manually assigning an invalid IP address during installation will  
prevent your network components from seeing the HP All-in-One.  
Subnet Mask  
A subnet is an IP address assigned by the installation software to make an  
additional network available as part of a larger network. Subnets are specified  
by a subnet mask. This mask determines which of the HP All-in-One IP  
address bits identify the network and subnet, and which bits identify the device  
itself.  
NOTE: It is recommended that the HP All-in-One and the computers that  
use it all reside on the same subnet.  
Default Gateway  
A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. A node  
in this instance can be a computer or some other device.  
NOTE: The address of the default gateway is assigned by the installation  
software.  
Configuration  
Source  
The protocol used to assign the IP address to the HP All-in-One:  
AutoIP: The installation software automatically determines the  
configuration parameters.  
DHCP: The configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic host  
configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On small networks,  
this could be a router.  
Manual: The configuration parameters are set manually, such as a static  
IP address.  
Not Specified: The mode used when the HP All-in-One is initializing.  
DNS server  
The IP address of the domain name service (DNS) for the network. When you  
use the Web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it.  
For example, the URL http://www.hp.com contains the domain name hp.com.  
The DNS on the Internet translates the domain name into an IP address.  
Devices use the IP addresses to refer to one another.  
IP Address: The IP address of the domain name server.  
Not Specified: The IP address is not specified, or the device is initializing.

Parameter  
Description  
Authentication  
type  
Type of authentication in use:  
None: No authentication in use.  
Open System (ad hoc and infrastructure): No authentication  
Shared Key: WEP key is required.  
WPA-PSK (infrastructure only): WPA with Pre-Shared Key.  
Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.  
Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device before granting access  
to the network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access  
network resources. This security method is common on wireless networks.  
A network using Open System authentication does not screen network users  
based on their identities. Any wireless user can have access from the network.  
However, such a network might use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)  
encryption to provide a first level of security against casual eavesdroppers.  
A network using Shared Key authentication provides increased security by  
requiring users or devices to identify themselves with a static key (a  
hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or device on the network  
shares the same key. WEP encryption is used along with shared key  
authentication, using the same key for both authentication and encryption.  
A network using server-based (WPA-PSK) authentication provides  
significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless access  
points and wireless routers. The access point or router verifies the identity of  
a user or device requesting access to the network before granting that access.  
Several different authentication protocols might be used on an authentication  
server.  
Encryption  
The type of encryption in use on the network:  
None: No encryption is in use.  
64-bit WEP: A 5-character or 10-hex-digit WEP key is in use.  
128-bit WEP: A 13-character or 26-hex-digit WEP key is in use.  
WPA-AES: Advanced Encryption Standard encryption is in use. This is  
an encryption algorithm for securing sensitive but unclassified material  
by US Government agencies.  
WPA-TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, an advanced encryption  
protocol, is in use.  
Automatic: AES or TKIP is in use.  
Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.  
WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it  
is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. This security  
method is common on wireless networks.  
Access Point HW The hardware address of the wireless router or access point on the network  
Address  
to which the HP All-in-One is connected:  
(MAC address): The unique MAC (Media Access Control) hardware  
address of the access point.  
Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.  
Total Packets  
transmitted  
The number of packets transmitted by the HP All-in-One without error since  
it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-in-One is turned  
off. When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it is  
broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination address as well  
as the data.

The HP All-in-One is equipped with memory card slots which enable you to insert a  
memory card and begin printing photos from your digital camera without uploading your  
photos to a computer first. Additionally, if the HP All-in-One is network-connected or  
connected to a computer with a USB cable, you can also transfer your photos to the  
computer to print, edit, or share.  
The HP All-in-One supports the memory cards described below. Each type of memory  
card can only be inserted in the appropriate slot for that card.

Print photos from the HP Photosmart Software  
P
You can use the HP Photosmart Software installed on your computer to transfer photos  
from a memory card to your computer’s hard drive for advanced photo editing, sharing  
photos online, and printing from your computer.  
Before transferring photos to your computer, you need to remove the memory card from  
your digital camera and insert it in the appropriate memory card slot on the HP All-in-One.  
NOTE: The HP All-in-One must be connected to a computer that has the  
HP Photosmart Software installed on it.

Print camera-selected (DPOF) photos  
Camera-selected photos are photos you marked for printing with your digital camera.  
When you select photos with your camera, the camera saves an industry-standard Digital  
Print Order Format (DPOF) file on the memory card that identifies which photos have  
been tagged for printing.  
The DPOF file on your memory card specifies the following information:  
Which photos to print  
The quantity of each photo to print  
Rotation applied to a photo  
Cropping applied to a photo  
Index printing (thumbnails of selected photos)  
The HP All-in-One can read DPOF file format 1.1 from a memory card so you do not have  
to reselect the photos to print. When you print camera-selected photos, the HP All-in-One  
print settings do not apply; the settings in the DPOF file for photo layout and number of  
copies override those of the HP All-in-One.  
NOTE: Not all digital cameras enable you to tag your photos for printing. See the  
documentation that came with your digital camera to see if your camera supports  
DPOF file format 1.1.

Change copy speed or quality  
The HP All-in-One, provides three options, indicated by one, two, or three stars, that affect  
copy speed and quality:  
One star copies faster than the other two quality settings. On plain paper, the text is  
comparable to the quality of two stars, but the graphics might be of lower quality. This  
setting uses less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.  
NOTE: This setting is not available when the HP All-In-One detects photo paper.  
Two stars delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of  
your copying. Two stars copies faster than the three stars quality setting.  
Three stars produces the highest quality output for all paper and eliminates the  
banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Three stars copies  
slower than the other quality settings.  
To change the copy quality  
1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.  
2. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.  
3. Press Quality to select one star, two stars, or three stars.

Make a borderless copy of a photo  
For the best quality when copying a photo, load photo paper in the input tray.  
TIP: You can optimize the quality of the color photos you print and copy with the  
HP All-in-One by purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the black print cartridge  
and insert the photo print cartridge in its place. With the tri-color print cartridge and  
photo print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced  
quality color photos.  
To make a borderless copy of a photo from the control panel  
1. Load photo paper in the input tray.  
NOTE: The HP All-in-One automatically detects the type of paper you are using.  
If you do not use photo paper, your copy will include a white border around one  
or more edges.  
2. Load your original photo print side down on the right front corner of the glass.  
3. Press Size to select Borderless.  
4. Press Start Copy Color.  
The HP All-in-One makes a borderless copy of your original photo, as shown below.  
Resize an original to fit onto letter or A4 paper  
You can use the Resize to Fit feature to copy an original to fit within the printable margins  
of a page without the risk of cropping some part of your original. This is useful for reducing  
or enlarging an original. For example:  
If you enlarge a 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo to make a borderless full-size copy on  
letter or A4 paper, some part of your photo will be cropped. The Resize to Fit feature  
will enlarge the photo as much as possible to fit the page without cropping any part  
of your photo.  
If the image or text on your original fills the entire sheet of paper with no margins, you  
can use the Resize to Fit feature to reduce your original and prevent unwanted  
cropping of the text or images at the edges of the sheet.  
NOTE: In order to resize your original without changing the proportions or cropping  
the edges, the HP All-in-One might leave an uneven amount of white space around  
the edges of the paper.

NOTE: If you use a plastic container, make sure the ink nozzles on the print cartridge  
do not touch the plastic.  
The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it  
from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from  
the HP All-in-One with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge  
protector. For example, store the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector if you  
are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color print  
cartridges.

Look at the On button located on the top of the HP All-in-One. If it is not lit, the HP All-  
in-One is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the HP All-in-  
One and plugged into a power outlet. Press the On button to turn on the HP All-in-  
One.  
Check the USB cable. If you are using an older cable, it might not be working properly.  
Try connecting it to another product to see if the USB cable works. If you experience  
problems, the USB cable might need to be replaced. Also verify that the cable does  
not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length.  
Check the connection from the HP All-in-One to your computer. Verify that the USB  
cable is securely plugged into the USB port on the back of the HP All-in-One. Make  
sure the other end of the USB cable is plugged into a USB port on your computer.  
After the cable is connected properly, turn the HP All-in-One off and then on again.  
If you are connecting the HP All-in-One through a USB hub, make sure the hub is  
turned on. If the hub is on, try connecting directly to your computer.  
Check other printers or scanners. You might need to disconnect older products from  
your computer.  
Try connecting the USB cable to another USB port on your computer. After you check  
the connections, try restarting your computer. Turn the HP All-in-One off and then on

Information on print cartridges  
For best results, use HP print cartridges. Refilled print cartridges might damage the  
HP All-in-One. The following tips help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent  
print quality.  
Keep all print cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.  
Store print cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F).  
92  
Troubleshooting  
   
Do not reattach the protective tape once it has been removed from the print cartridge.  
Reattaching the plastic tape might damage the print cartridge. Place the print cartridge  
in the HP All-in-One immediately after removing the plastic tape. If this is not possible,  
store it in a print cartridge protector or airtight plastic container.  
HP recommends that you do not remove the print cartridges from the HP All-in-One  
until you have replacement print cartridges available to install.  
Turn off the HP All-in-One from the control panel. Do not turn off the device by turning  
off a power strip or unplugging the power cord from the HP All-in-One. If you  
improperly turn off the HP All-in-One, the print carriage does not return to the correct  
position and the print cartridges can dry out.  
Do not open the print cartridge door unless necessary. This exposes the print  
cartridges to air, which reduces the life of the print cartridges.  
NOTE: If you leave the print cartridge door open for a long period of time, the  
HP All-in-One will recap the print cartridges to protect them from exposure to air.  
Clean the print cartridges when you notice a significant decrease in print quality.  
TIP: You might notice a decrease in print quality if the print cartridges have not  
been used for a long time.  
Do not clean the print cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life  
of the cartridges.  
Handle print cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during  
installation can cause temporary printing problems. If print quality is poor right after  
cartridge installation, allow half an hour for the print cartridge to recover.  
For more information, see:  
Information on paper  
The HP All-in-One is designed to work well with most paper types. Test a variety of paper  
types before buying a large quantity. Find a paper type that works well and is easy to  
purchase. HP Premium papers are designed for the best quality results. In addition, follow  
these tips:  
Do not use paper that is too thin, that has a slick texture, or that stretches easily. It  
can feed incorrectly through the paper path, causing paper jams.  
Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat  
surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you  
plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo  
paper to the plastic bag.  
Do not leave unused photo paper in the input tray. The paper might start to curl, which  
might reduce the quality of your printouts. Curled paper can also cause paper jams.  
Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print  
quality.  
Do not use paper that is heavily textured. It can cause graphics or text to print  
improperly.  
Troubleshooting tips  
93  
   
Chapter 13  
Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack  
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.  
Store printed photos under glass or in a storage book to prevent bleeding over time  
from high humidity. Use HP Premium Plus photo paper for maximum performance.  
Clear paper jams  
If the HP All-in-One has a paper jam, first check the rear door.  
If the jammed paper is not in the rear rollers, check the front door.  
To clear a paper jam from the rear door  
1. Press in the tab on the left side of the rear door to release the door. Remove the door  
by pulling it away from the HP All-in-One.  
2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.  
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check  
the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the  
device. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the HP All-in-One, more  
paper jams are likely to occur.  
3. Replace the rear door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place.  
4. Press Start Copy Black or Start Copy Color to continue the current job.  
To clear a paper jam from the front door

incorrectly during the wireless setup process.  
Solution: During the wireless setup process, you might have entered the WEP key  
incorrectly. Some wireless routers provide up to four WEP keys. The HP All-in-One  
uses the first WEP key (selected by the wireless router as the default WEP key). Run  
the wireless setup process again and be sure to use the first WEP key provided by  
the wireless router. Enter the WEP key exactly as it appears in the wireless router  
settings. The WEP key is case sensitive.  
110  
Troubleshooting  
       
If you do not know the WEP key, see the documentation that came with your wireless  
router for information on how to access the router's Embedded Web Server. You can  
find the WEP key by logging onto the router's Embedded Web Server using a  
computer on the wireless network.

Cause: An anti-virus or anti-spyware application is preventing the HP All-in-One  
from accessing your computer.  
Solution: Uninstall the HP All-in-One software, and then reboot your computer.  
Temporarily disable anti-virus or anti-spyware applications, and then reinstall the  
HP All-in-One software. You can re-enable your anti-virus or anti-spyware  
applications after installation is complete. If you see firewall pop-up messages, you  
must always accept or allow the pop-up messages.  
If the screen still appears, try uninstalling the HP All-in-One software, rebooting your  
computer, and temporarily disabling your firewall before reinstalling the HP All-in-One  
software. You can re-enable your firewall application after installation is complete. If  
you still see firewall pop-up messages, you must always accept or allow the pop-up  
messages.  
For more information, see the documentation provided with the firewall software.  
Cause: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is preventing the HP All-in-One from  
accessing your computer.  
Solution: Temporarily disable the VPN before proceeding with the installation.  
NOTE: The HP All-in-One functionality will be limited during VPN sessions.  
Cause: The HP All-in-One is not turned on.

cartridges. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the  
problem persists, you might need to replace the print cartridges.  
112  
Troubleshooting  
       
For more information on print cartridges, see “Troubleshoot print cartridges”  
Cause: The paper is too close to the print cartridge during printing.  
Solution: If the paper is too close to the print cartridge during printing, the ink might  
be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as  
a mailing envelope. Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not too  
wrinkled.  
Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely  
Cause: The print cartridges need to be cleaned or might be out of ink.  
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels remaining in the print cartridges. If the  
print cartridges are low or out of ink, you might need to replace the print cartridges.  
If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem,  
print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the  
self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists,  
you might need to replace the print cartridges.  
For more information on print cartridges, see “Troubleshoot print cartridges”  
Cause: The print paper type setting is incorrect.  
Solution: Change the paper type setting to match the type of paper loaded in the  
input tray. The HP All-in-One automatically detects the paper type for plain and photo  
paper. If you are printing on other types of paper, such as labels or transparencies,  
check that you have selected the correct paper type in the HP Photosmart software.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The copy or print quality setting on the HP All-in-One is set too low.  
Solution: Check the quality setting. Use a higher quality setting to increase the  
amount of ink used for printing.  
For more information, see:  
The text edges are jagged  
Cause: The font is a custom size.  
Solution: Some software applications offer custom fonts that have jagged edges  
when enlarged or printed. Also, if you want to print bitmapped text, it might have  
jagged edges when enlarged or printed.

Use OpenType or TrueType fonts to ensure that the HP All-in-One is able to print  
smooth fonts. When selecting a font, look for the TrueType or OpenType icon.  
The printout has a horizontal band of distortion near the bottom of the page  
Cause: Your image has light blue, gray, or brown hues that print near the bottom  
of the page.  
Solution: Load high-quality paper in the input tray and print the image with a high  
print quality setting, such as Best, Maximum dpi, or High Resolution. Always make  
sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use  
HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.  
If the problem persists, use the software you installed with the HP All-in-One or  
another software application to rotate your image 180 degrees so that the light blue,  
gray, or brown hues in your image do not print at the bottom of the page. Print the  
image using six-ink printing. To do so, install the photo print cartridge in place of the  
black print cartridge. With the photo print cartridge and the tri-color print cartridge  
installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos.  
For more information, see:  
Colors run into each other on the printout  
Cause: The print or copy quality setting is set too high for the type of paper loaded

the HP All-in-One.  
To check your margin settings  
1. Preview your print job before sending it to the HP All-in-One.  
2. Check the margins.  
The HP All-in-One uses the margins you have set in your software application,  
as long as they are greater than the minimum margins the HP All-in-One supports.  
3. Cancel the print job if the margins are not satisfactory, and then adjust the margins  
in your software application.  
Cause: The paper size setting might not be set correctly for the project you are  
printing.  
Solution: Verify that you have selected the proper paper size setting for your  
project. Make sure that you have loaded the correct paper size in the input tray.  
Cause: The paper guides are not positioned correctly.

Chapter 13  
self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists,  
you might need to replace the print cartridges.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The document you are printing contains an additional blank page.  
Solution: Open the document file in your software application and remove any extra  
pages or lines at the end of the document.  
Cause: The HP All-in-One picked up two sheets of paper.  
Solution: If the HP All-in-One has only a few sheets remaining, load more paper in  
the input tray. If there is plenty of paper in the input tray, remove the paper, tap the  
stack of paper against a flat surface, and reload the paper into the input tray.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The protective plastic tape was only partially removed from the print  
cartridge.  
Solution: Check each print cartridge. The tape might have been removed from the

Solution: Make sure you load photo paper in the input tray before you print a  
borderless print job.  
Memory card troubleshooting  
Use this section to solve these memory card problems:  
My memory card no longer works in my digital camera  
Cause: You formatted the card on a Windows XP computer. By default, Windows  
XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less and 64 MB or more with the FAT32  
format. Digital cameras and other devices use the FAT (FAT16 or FAT12) format and  
cannot recognize a FAT32 formatted card.  
Solution: Reformat your memory card in your camera or format your memory card  
in a Windows XP computer by selecting the FAT format.  
The HP All-in-One does not read the memory card  
Cause: The card is inserted backwards or upside down.  
Solution: Turn the memory card so that the label side is up and the contacts are  
facing the HP All-in-One, and then push the card forward into the appropriate slot until  
the Photo light turns on.  
If the memory card is not inserted properly, the HP All-in-One will not respond and  
the Photo light (near the memory card slots) will not turn on.  
After the memory card has been inserted properly, the Photo light will blink for a few  
seconds, and then remain lit.  
Cause: The card is not fully inserted.  
Solution: Make sure you fully insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on  
the HP All-in-One.

If the memory card is not inserted properly, the HP All-in-One will not respond and  
the Photo light (near the memory card slots) will not turn on.  
After the memory card has been inserted properly, the Photo light will blink for a few  
seconds, and then remain lit.  
Cause: Multiple memory cards are inserted in the HP All-in-One.  
Solution: You can insert only one memory card at a time.  
If more than one memory card is inserted, the Photo light (near the memory card slots)  
will not blink, and an error message will appear on the computer screen. Remove the  
additional memory card to resolve the problem.  
Cause: The file system is corrupted.  
Solution: Check the computer screen for an error message telling you that the  
images on the memory card are corrupted.  
If the file system on the card is corrupt, reformat the memory card in your digital  
camera.  
CAUTION: Reformatting the memory card will delete any photos stored on the  
card. If you have previously transferred the photos from your memory card to a  
computer, try printing the photos from the computer. Otherwise, you will need to  
retake any photos you might have lost.  
The Photo light next to the memory card slots is blinking  
Cause: The HP All-in-One is reading the memory card.  
Solution: Do not pull out the memory card while the Photo light is flashing. A  
flashing light means the HP All-in-One is accessing the memory card. Wait until the  
light remains solid. Removing a memory card while it is being accessed might corrupt  
information on the card or damage the HP All-in-One and card.  
The On light blinks when I insert my memory card  
Cause: The HP All-in-One has detected an error with the memory card.  
Solution: Remove and reinsert the memory card. You might have inserted it  
incorrectly. Turn the memory card so that the label side is up and the contacts are  
facing the HP All-in-One, and then push the card forward into the appropriate slot until  
the Photo light turns on.  
If the problem continues, the memory card might be defective.  
Cause: You have inserted more than one memory card.  
Solution: Remove one of the memory cards. You can use only one memory card  
at a time.

Chapter 13  
Memory card is not available  
Cause: If this message appears on your display, it means that another user is  
accessing the memory card over the network. Other users who try to use the same  
memory card might see a read/write error message. The memory card might not  
appear, as expected, in a list of shared network drives. In addition, if the HP All-in-  
One is connected to your computer by a USB cable, the computer might be accessing  
the memory card, making it inaccessible to the HP All-in-One.  
Solution: Wait until the other user has finished using the memory card.  
The file name appears as meaningless text  
Cause: The HP All-in-One does not support Unicode. This is a limitation of the  
Common Internet File System (CIFS) server.  
The CIFS server is included in all network-connected HP All-in-One devices. It  
provides network drive letter access to the memory card in the HP All-in-One. This  
lets you read/write files on the network from the memory card in the HP All-in-One.  
The CIFS server appears on your computer as a network drive. In addition to reading/  
writing files from your memory card, you can also create folders and store other  
information.  
Solution: If a file name was created with Unicode by another application, it will  
display as arbitrary characters.  
Other users on the network can access my memory card  
Cause: The Common Internet File System (CIFS) server in the HP All-in-One does  
not support authentication. This is a limitation of the CIFS server.  
The CIFS server is included in all network-connected HP All-in-One devices. It  
provides network drive letter access to the memory card in the HP All-in-One. This

Scan fails because of insufficient computer memory  
Cause: Too many applications are running on your computer.  
Solution: Close all applications that are not in use. This includes applications that  
run in the background, such as screen savers and virus checkers. If you turn off your  
virus checker, remember to turn it back on after you finish your scan.  
If this problem occurs frequently, or if you encounter memory problems while using  
other applications, you might need to add more memory to your computer. See the  
user guide that came with your computer for more information.  
Scanned image is blank  
Cause: The original is placed incorrectly on the glass.  
Solution: Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.  
Scanned image is incorrectly cropped  
Cause: The software is set to automatically crop scanned pictures.  
Solution: The autocropping feature in the software crops anything that is not part  
of the main image. Sometimes this might not be what you want. In that case, turn off  
autocropping in the software and crop the scanned image manually, or not at all.  
Scanned image has incorrect page layout  
Cause: The automatic cropping feature in the software is changing the page layout.  
132  
Troubleshooting  
               
Solution: Turn off autocropping in the software to retain the page layout.  
Scanned image shows dotted lines instead of text  
Cause: If you use the Text image type to scan text that you plan to edit, the scanner  
might not recognize color text. The Text image type scans at 300 x 300 dpi, in black  
and white.  
If you are scanning an original that has graphics or artwork surrounding the text, the  
scanner might not recognize the text.  
Solution: Make a black-and-white copy of the original and then scan the copy.  
Text format is incorrect  
Cause: The scan document settings are incorrect.  
Solution: Some applications cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is  
one of the scan document settings in the software. It maintains complex layouts, such  
as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes)  
in the destination application. In the software, select the correct format so that the  
scanned text layout and formatting are retained.  
Text is incorrect or missing  
Cause: The brightness is not set correctly.  
Solution: Adjust the brightness in the software, and then rescan the original.  
Cause: Debris might be stuck on the glass or on the back of the document lid. This  
can cause poor-quality scans.  
Solution: Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and use a soft cloth  
to wipe the glass and the back of the document lid.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The scan document settings are not set to the correct optical character  
recognition (OCR) language. The OCR language tells the software how to interpret  
the characters it sees in the original image. If the OCR language does not match the  
language in the original, the scanned text might be incomprehensible.  
Solution: Select the correct OCR language in the software.  
NOTE: If you are using HP Photosmart Essential, the Optical Character  
Recognition (OCR) software might not be installed on your computer. To install  
the OCR software, you must re-insert the software disk and select OCR under the  
Custom installation options.

Resize to Fit is not working as expected  
Cause: You are trying to increase the size of an original that is too small.  
Solution: Resize to Fit can only enlarge the original up to the maximum percentage  
allowed by your model. For example, 200% might be the maximum enlargement  
percentage allowed by your model. Enlarging a passport photo by 200% might not  
enlarge it enough for it to fit a full-size page.  
If you want to make a large copy of a small original, scan the original into the computer,  
resize the image in the HP scanning software, and then print a copy of the enlarged  
image.  
Cause: The original is placed incorrectly on the glass.  
136  
Troubleshooting  
   
Solution: Load the original print side down on the right front corner of the glass as  
shown below. To copy a photo, position the photo on the glass so that the long edge  
of the photo is along the front edge of the glass.  
Cause: Debris might be stuck on the glass or on the back of the document lid. The  
HP All-in-One interprets anything it detects on the glass as part of the image.  
Solution: Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and then use a soft  
cloth to wipe the glass and the back of the document lid.  
For more information, see:  
The image is cropped when I make a borderless copy  
Cause: The HP All-in-One cropped some of the image around the margins of the  
copy to achieve a borderless print without changing the proportions of the original.  
Solution: If you want to enlarge a photo to fit a full-size page without cropping the  
edges, use Resize to Fit.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The original is larger than the paper in the input tray.  
Solution: If your original is larger than the paper in the input tray, use the Resize  
to Fit feature to reduce your original to fit on the paper in the input tray.

Solution: Check the estimated ink levels remaining in the print cartridges. If the  
print cartridges are low or out of ink, you might need to replace the print cartridges.  
If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem,  
print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the  
self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists,  
you might need to replace the print cartridges.  
For more information on print cartridges, see “Troubleshoot print cartridges”  
A borderless copy has white space around the edges  
Cause: You are trying to make a borderless copy of a very small original.  
Solution: When you make a borderless copy of a very small original, the HP All-in-  
One enlarges the original up to a maximum percentage. This might leave white space  
around the edges. (The maximum percentage varies by model.)  
Depending on the size of the borderless copy you are trying to make, the minimum  
size of the original varies. For example, you cannot enlarge a passport photo to create  
a letter-size borderless copy.  
If you want to make a borderless copy of a very small original, scan the original into  
the computer, resize the image, and then print a borderless copy of the enlarged  
image.  
Cause: You are trying to make a borderless copy without using photo paper.  
138  
Troubleshooting  
       
Solution: Use photo paper to make borderless copies.
