1 Get started This guide complements the information in the printed Setup Guide and the User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one. It describes how to set up your HP all-in-one in a network, which includes configuring and connecting the device, and installing the software. This guide also provides examples of recommended networks, network management information, and troubleshooting tips.
Chapter 1 Connect additional computers If your HP all-in-one is connected to one of the recommended networks you can share your HP All-in-One with additional computers on the network. For each additional computer, you must install the HP all-in-one software, as described in Install the software. During installation, the software will discover the SSID (network name) of the existing network.
2 Choose a recommended Ethernet network Use this chapter to help you identify what kind of Ethernet network you already have in place or want to set up. Each network shown here uses a device, such as an Ethernet router, to connect the network elements. A network connected in this manner is called an infrastructure network. An Ethernet network provides superior performance, reliability, and network security. Ethernet networks might or might not be connected to the Internet.
Chapter 2 In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router. A computer on the network acts as the gateway between the network and the Internet. The gateway computer uses Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or similar software to manage the network connections and provide Internet access to the other devices. Note If the computer acting as a gateway is turned off, the other computers on the network will lose their Internet connection.
Ethernet connection to a wired network without Internet In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router, and there is no Internet connection. Devices use AutoIP, which means IP addresses are configured automatically. If you have this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the switch or router with an Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see Connect with an Ethernet cable.
Chapter 2 8
3 Connect with an Ethernet cable Use this chapter to connect your HP all-in-one to a router, switch, or access point using an Ethernet cable. For ideas on how to set up a wired network, see Choose a recommended Ethernet network. Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary. To connect your HP all-in-one to your computer, first see the next section for the things you will need.
Chapter 3 Note The HP all-in-one supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card (NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed. ● Broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL (only if you want to access HP Instant Share directly from the device). For more information on HP Instant Share, see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.
4 Install the software Use this chapter to install your HP all-in-one software on either a Windows or Macintosh computer. However, before you install the software, make sure you have connected your HP all-in-one as described in one of the previous chapters. Note If your computer is configured to connect to a series of network drives, make sure that your computer is currently connected to these drives before installing the software.
Chapter 4 8 When you have finished installing the software, your HP all-in-one is ready for service. To test your network connection, go to your computer and print a test page to your HP all-in-one. For more information, see the printed User Guide that came with yourHP all-in-one. For Macintosh The following instructions are for Macintosh computers only. Note Installation time can range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your operating system, the amount of available space, and the processor speed.
5 Manage your network This chapter describes how to use the network tools on the device control panel and the Embedded Web Server. These tools enable you to view and edit network settings, and add advanced security to your network. Use the HP all-in-one control panel The HP all-in-one control panel enables you to perform a variety of network management tasks, including viewing the network settings, restoring the network defaults, and changing the network settings.
Chapter 5 To reset to factory defaults 1 2 3 On the control panel of the HP all-in-one, press the Setup button. Press 8, and then press 2. This displays the Network menu and then selects Restore Network Defaults. Press 1 to confirm. Advanced network settings The Advanced Setup options enable you to change link speed, IP settings, and memory card security. Note Unless you are an advanced user, you should not change any of these settings.
Change memory card security The Memory Card Security option on the Advanced Setup menu enables you to set the HP all-in-one so that it does not share memory card data with computers on a wireless network. However, we do not recommended this security method for your memory card because it prevents you from accessing your memory card from your computer. Also, this feature does not work on an Ethernet network.
Chapter 5 server loses its network connection, you might need to reset it to factory-default and reinstall the software. Note Do not disable TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) on your computer. It is required for communication with the Embedded Web Server.
6 Network troubleshooting This section contains network troubleshooting information for the HP all-in-one. Specific information is provided for installation and configuration issues. Wired network setup troubleshooting Use this section to solve wired network setup problems. The Computer is unable to discover the HP all-in-one Cause Cables are not connected properly.
Chapter 6 The icon on the left shows an active wired network. The icon on the right shows an inactive network. Wired network icon 2 3 4 5 If the wired network icon is not present, check the cable connections from the HP all-in-one to your gateway or router to ensure connections are secure. Make sure the HP all-in-one is connected to the network with a CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Check the two Ethernet indicator lights on the top and bottom of the RJ-45 Ethernet jack on the back of the HP all-in-one.
Solution Look at the color graphics display on HP all-in-one. If the color graphics display is blank and the light next to the On button 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. Cause You do not have an active network connection. Solution Make sure you have an active network connection.

a Configuration page definitions This appendix explains the items that appear on the network configuration page. General network settings The following table describes the general network settings shown on the network configuration page. Parameter Description Network Status Status of the HP all-in-one: ● ● Active Connection Type Ready: the HP all-in-one is ready to receive or transmit data. Offline: the HP all-in-one is offline.
Appendix a (continued) Subnet Mask A subnet is an IP address assigned by the install 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.
(continued) Link Configuration The speed at which data is transmitted over a network: ● ● ● ● ● ● 802.11b: for wireless network. 10TX-Full: for wired network. 10TX-Half: for wired network. 100TX-Full: for wired network. 100TX-Half: for wired network. None: networking is disabled. Wireless network settings The following table describes the wireless network settings shown on the network configuration page.
Appendix a (continued) number. Value is from 1 to 14; countries/regions might limit the range of approved channels. ● ● ● : value ranging from 1 to 14, depending on country/region. None: no channel is in use. Not Applicable: the WLAN is disabled or this parameter does not apply to this network type.
(continued) ● ● 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.
