    							1HP All-in-One overview
    Use the HP All-in-One to quickly and easily accomplish tasks such as making a copy,
    scanning documents, or printing photos from a memory card. You can access many
    HP All-in-One functions directly from the control panel, without turning on your
    computer.
    Note This guide introduces basic operations and troubleshooting, as well as
    providing information for contacting HP support and ordering supplies.
    The onscreen Help details the full range of features and functions, including
    use of the HP Photosmart software that came with the HP All-in-One. For more
    information, see  Access the onscreen Help  on page 8.
    Copy
    The HP All-in-One allows you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white
    copies on a variety of paper types. You can  enlarge or reduce the size of an original to
    fit a specific paper size, adjust the copy quality, and make high-quality copies of
    photos, including borderless copies.
    Scan
    Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
    your computer. You can scan almost anything (photos, magazine articles and text
    documents) on the HP All-in-One.
    Print photos
    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 connected to a
    computer with a USB cable, you can also  transfer your photos to the computer to
    print, edit, or share.
    Warning Do not insert more than one memory card at a time. If more than
    one memory card is inserted, unrecoverable data loss might occur.
    Print from your computer
    The HP All-in-One can be used with any software application that allows printing. You
    can print a range of projects, such as borderless images, newsletters, greeting cards,
    iron-on transfers, and posters.
