> Register new service in order to register the printer service.
Verify printer connection to HP
You can check that the printer is able to connect to HP services by tapping and viewing the status there. You can see detailed information by clicking the Network or Service card.
If there is any problem connecting to HP, you will be provided with a description of the problem and some possible solutions.
Enable email printing with HP ePrint
The HP Connected service makes it easy to send jobs to your printer by attaching them to an email message.
You must accept the Printer Data Sharing Agreement in order to use HP Connected.
To configure the email printing configuration, tap , then Services. Scroll down until you find the HP ePrint card, which will display your printer’s email address, which can be used to send
jobs to the printer. Double-click the HP ePrint card to access the printer's code and other configuration details.
If you are the printer administrator, log in at HP Connected (http://www.hpconnected.com) to customize your printer’s email address or manage printer security for remote printing.
You must also visit http://www.hpconnected.com to register yourself and your printer (using the printer code).
Configure your HP ePrint connection
By default, the jobs sent by email are directly printed. To change the settings, tap , then
at the right top corner of the page, then Services > HP Connected > HP ePrint jobs > On hold.
You can disable the connection to HP ePrint if required for security. At the front panel, tap , then
at the right top corner of the page, then Services > HP Connected > HP ePrint connectivity > Disable.
Disable just puts the remote printing function on hold. If you want to resume using it, you just need to re-enable it in the same menu. No more setup steps are required.
If you want to disable remote printing permanently, tap Remove. To use remote printing again, you will need to set it up again from scratch.
