Connecting an HP Photo Printer

Some HP photo printer models (A510 Series and A610 Series sold separately) can be placed on the

printer dock on the back of the HP TouchSmart PC to provide a photo kiosk experience at home and save

counter space at the same time. You can power the HP printer without using a separate power cable by

connecting the printer to your HP TouchSmart PC using the included HP printer Y-cable.

Printer” in the “Managing Files” chapter of the

Getting Started

NOTE:

If using the HP printer (USB and power) Y-cable to connect the HP printer to the HP TouchSmart PC,

when the HP TouchSmart PC goes into sleep mode, the printer batteries do not charge and printing may

be terminated. The HP TouchSmart PC must remain operational while printing completes.

NOTE:

Printer installation procedure varies based on manufacturer. Follow manufacturer instructions.

NOTE:

If your photo doesn’t print, make sure the paper

output tray and the back of the printer are open for the

paper to eject properly.
