Quickly install your HP 6310 printer

Hewlett-Packard is one of the industry leaders in the production of high quality printers. Printers have continued to evolve into devices that do much more than create simple black and white documents. Multi-functional printers have the capacity to quickly print high-resolution color photographs and documents, receive and send faxes, scan files, and act as a networked printer for several computers. The HP Printer 6310 is an all-in-one device that is conveniently able to do all of these things. Here is how you can quickly setup and install your new HP Printer 6310 on your computer.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Remove all the packing and shipping tape from the printer. Open the top cover of the printer and remove the orange shipping lock on the left inside panel of your printer.

2. If the control panel faceplate is not attached, attach it by lining it up with the printer and securely press down on the edges of the faceplate until it snaps into place.

3. Attach the bottom paper tray by inserting it into the front opening of the printer. Slide the paper adjuster all the way to the left and load paper onto the tray.

4. Attach the top output tray by inserting it above the bottom paper tray and hooking it into the grey latches on the printer. Once the hooks have been inserted, lower the tray into place.

5. Connect the power cord to the printer and then plug it into a wall outlet. Insert one end of the phone cord that comes with your printer into the jack labeled "1-line." Insert the other end of the phone cord into a wall phone jack.

6. Turn on your printer by pressing the "On" button. Lift the print cartridge door by pulling up underneath the control panel. The print cartridge should move to the right. Remove the ink cartridges by gently pulling them until they slide out of their slots. Remove the tape on each cartridge. Return them to the appropriate slot by pushing them in until they snap back into place. Close the print cartridge door.

7. An alignment message will display on your printer. Make sure you have paper loaded and then click "OK" to finish the alignment process.

8. Insert the installation CD that came with your printer into your computer's CD-drive. Follow the onscreen instructions until you are prompted to connect the USB cable. Connect the USB cable to the port on the back of your HP printer and then plug the other end into the USB port on your computer. Continue following the onscreen instructions until you complete the installation wizard. Your HP Printer 6310 is now setup and installed on your computer.
