Setup troubleshooting This section includes installation and configuration troubleshooting tips for some of the most common issues associated with hardware, software, and fax setup. Hardware setup troubleshooting Use this section to solve any problems you might encounter while setting up the HP All-in-One hardware. My HP All-in-One does not turn on Solution Make sure the power cord is firmly connected, and wait a few seconds for the HP All-in-One to turn on. If this is the first time you have turned on the HP All-in-One, it can take up to a minute to turn on. Also, if the HP All-inOne is plugged in to a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. Troubleshooting 1 Power connection 2 Grounded power outlet I connected the USB cable, but I am having problems using the HP All-in-One with my computer Solution You must first install the software that came with your HP All-in-One before connecting the USB cable. During installation, do not plug in the USB cable until prompted by the onscreen instructions. Connecting the USB cable before prompted can cause errors. Once you have installed the software, connecting your computer to your HP All-inOne with a USB cable is straightforward. Simply plug one end of the USB cable into the back of your computer and the other into the back of the HP All-in-One. You can connect to any USB port on the back of your computer. 110 HP Photosmart 3100 All-in-One series
