User's Manual

Print from your computer

The HP All-in-One can be used with any software application that allows printing. The

instructions vary slightly depending on whether you are printing from a Windows

computer or a Mac. Make sure you follow the instructions for your operating system in

this chapter.

This User Guide provides just a sampling of the print features available to help you

get started using your HP All-in-One to print from a software application. Explore the

onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your HP All-in-One software for

information on all of the print settings that your HP All-in-One supports. For example,

the onscreen HP Image Zone Help provides information on printing a poster, printing

multiple pages on a single sheet, and more. For more information on the HP Image

Zone Help, see Use the onscreen Help.

Print from a software application

Most print settings are automatically handled by the software application you are

printing from or by HP ColorSmart technology. You need to change the settings

manually only when you change print quality, print on specific types of paper or

transparency film, or use special features.

box.

Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,

the Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects, Basics, and Color tabs.

Click a type of print task in the What do you want to do? list. The default

Shortcuts tab. If necessary, you can adjust the settings here, or you can

make your changes on the other tabs in the Properties dialog box.
