How to properly unbox and set up an HP DeskJet Plus 4100 series printer.
The printer should be unboxed and set up on a clear, level surface with easy access to a power outlet.
To avoid setup problems and potential printer damage, make sure all internal packing material is removed, all doors are closed, and all trays are reinserted before turning on the printer.
The printer must be powered on before installing software, paper, or cartridges.
Do not connect a USB cable at this time. The connection to the computer is established during software installation.
The HP Smart app is required and helps you connect your device to your printer. It also guides you through the rest of the setup process.
The steps that follow can be used with the instructions in HP Smart to complete printer setup.
Plain paper must be loaded to perform a cartridge alignment later.
Once the ink cartridges are installed and aligned, you can use your printer.
The printer is ready for use when the alignment is complete.
