Step 4: Insert print cartridges

1

Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
The Power light comes on and the Print Cartridge light
blinks.

2

Open the top cover.
The cartridge cradle moves to the center of the printer.

3

Remove the print cartridges from their individual packages.

4

Carefully remove the protective vinyl tape from the tri-color
and black print cartridges.

5

For each print cartridge, lift the cradle latch inside the printer.
With the copper electrical contacts toward the rear of the
printer and the print cartridge held vertically, push the print
cartridge firmly down into the appropriate cradle.
Note: Be sure not to touch the ink nozzles or the copper
electrical contacts. Also, do NOT remove the copper strip;
these are electrical contacts required for proper operation
of the print cartridges.

8

Insert the black print cartridge in the right cradle, and insert
the tri-color print cartridge in the left cradle. You must insert
both print cartridges for the printer to operate.

6

Close the latch.
You will hear a click and feel resistance when the latch is
pushed down.

7

Close the top cover.
The Print Cartridge light continues to blink for awhile
and then goes off. (Youll hear the cartridge cradle return to
its home position on the right side of the printer.)
Note: If the Print Cartridge light continues to blink or
if the cradle doesnt move to the right side of the printer,
take out both cartridges and reinsert them.
When a print cartridge starts to run out of ink, replace it. If
you do not have a replacement, leave the empty print
cartridge in the cradle of the printer. The printer will not
print with only one print cartridge installed.
We recommend you keep spare print cartridges on hand.
When buying print cartridges, check the part numbers
referenced below carefully to make sure you are buying
the right print cartridges for your printer. These print
cartridges have been specifically designed to work with
your printer to produce results that are always clear,
always sharp.
840C, 842C, and 843C require:
Black HP No. [15] (equivalent to C6615 Series)
Tri-Color HP No. [17] (equivalent to C6625 Series)

Step 5: Load paper in your printer

1

Pull out the IN tray and slide the paper-width and paper-
length adjusters out as far as possible to make room for the
paper.
Flip up the OUT tray for a better view of the IN tray.

2

Remove a stack of paper from its packaging. (Make sure all
the paper in the stack is the same size and type.) Tap the
stack on a flat surface to even it up.

3

Load the paper into the IN tray,

printable side down

. The IN
tray holds up to 10 mm or 3/8 inch at a time.

4

Push the paper toward the back of the paper tray until it
stops.

paper fits under the tab of the paper-length adjuster.

6

Slide the IN tray all the way back in.
Flip the OUT tray back down if its up.

Step 6: Install the printer software

Before you can use your new HP DeskJet printer, you must
install the printer software on the computer from which you will
print. Your printer software is located on the CD included with
your printer.
From time to time, Hewlett-Packard provides updated printer
software. Go to Printer Software on page 54 for information
on obtaining updated printer software.

Before You Begin

1

Make sure the computer is fully set up and operational.

2

Make sure that the printer is properly set up and ready to
print using the instructions provided earlier.

3

Make sure that the printer is connected to the computer with
a parallel printer cable and that no peripheral devices (such
as scanners, backup units, and switch boxes) are installed
between the printer and the computer.

4

Make sure both the printer and the computer are turned on.

11
5

Close any software programs that are open and running on
the computer, except the HP DeskJet installer, Windows
Explorer, or Program Manager. See page 26 for instructions
on how to close software programs.

6

Follow the installation instructions for your computers
operating system.

driver. If Windows is unable to find a driver, click Back to
return to Step 4.
23

12 Follow the on-screen instructions.
If something goes wrong with the printer software
installation, go to If you have problems installing on
page 13.
Problems with your USB installation?
How can I determine if my computers USB port
is enabled?
First, follow the installation instructions beginning on page 14.
If you dont see the Add New Hardware Wizard screen after
connecting your printer to your computer, perform these steps:
1 In Windows 98, select Start Settings Control Panel.
2 Double-click the System icon.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
4 Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus
Controller item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed,
USB is probably enabled. If your printer is connected through
another USB device or hub, connect your printer directly to
the USB port on the computer. Also, make sure the cable
connections are firm. (USB hubs are hardware devices into
which you can plug multiple USB cables.)
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computers
documentation or contact the manufacturer for more
information on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you
can always use a parallel cable to connect your printers
parallel port to your computer.
Note: The HP DeskJet 840C Series printer is automatically
set as the default Windows printer. If you find that it is not the
default Windows printer, go to Setting the HP DeskJet Printer
as the Default on page 26.
25
I accidentally cancelled the USB installation the
first time I connected my HP DeskJet printer to my
computer. How do I get it to appear again?
To redisplay the USB installation screens:
1 Disconnect the USB cable from your printer.
2 Insert the printer software CD (or Disk 1 if you have diskettes)
into your computer.
3 Click Start Run.
4 Browse to your disk drive and select Setup, then click Open.
5 The setup.exe file will appear in the dialog box. Click OK.
6 Select the Remove HP DeskJet 840C Series Software
option.
7 Connect the USB cable to your printer again. The USB
installation screen should appear again.
8 Continue with the first step of USB Step 7: Install USB and
printer software on page 21.
When I install the USB software, I get an Unknown
device is found message.
Disconnect the USB cable, remove the printer software, and turn
off the computer and printer. Unplug the electrical power to the
printer, then reconnect your printer and restart the USB
software installation.
After I installed my printer, why isnt my HP
DeskJet printer assigned to an LPT printer port in
the Print dialog box of my software application?
USB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. After
the printer has been installed, you see USB/DeskJet 840C/
(serial number of your printer).
How can I increase printing speed?
When operated on a USB chain, your printer may become
slower if other USB devices or software applications are being
used while youre printing. For optimal print performance, avoid
using other devices in the USB chain while printing.

Finding the HP print settings box

How to print on both sides of the
paper
The easiest way to save paper is to print on both sides. Just put
the paper through the printer twice: the first time through it
prints the odd-numbered pages and the second time through it
prints the even.
1 Load the paper in the IN tray.
Make sure that theres no paper in the OUT tray.
2 In the HP print settings box, click the Features tab. (See
Finding the HP print settings box on page 30.)
3 Then click Book or Tablet. Use Tablet when the sheets of
your document will be bound at the top edge. Use Book
when the sheets of your document will be bound on the left.
4 Print your document.
The printer automatically prints only the odd-numbered
pages. The printer then displays a message on your
computer screen, telling you how to reload the paper.
5 Load the printed pages back in the IN tray of the printer.
The following illustrations show how to Load the paper back
in the printer for the Book option and the Tablet option.
