How do I set up the wireless connection?
You can set up the wireless connection directly through the printer's color LCD touchscreen by navigating to the Wi-Fi setup menu and following the on-screen instructions. Alternatively, you can use the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device to guide you through the wireless setup process.

Troubleshooting
Printer won't connect to Wi-Fi or connection is unstable.
Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and the printer is within range. Use the printer's touchscreen to re-select your network and re-enter the password. The printer's self-healing Wi-Fi should attempt to restore the connection automatically. If issues persist, restart both your router and the printer.
Print quality is poor (streaks, faded colors, blurry text).
Check your ink levels in the HP Smart app or on the printer's touchscreen and replace any low cartridges with new Original HP Ink. Perform a print head cleaning cycle through the printer's maintenance menu or the HP Smart app. Ensure you are using appropriate paper for your print job.
Cannot print from my mobile device using the HP Smart app.
Verify that your mobile device and the printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ensure the HP Smart app is updated to the latest version. Try restarting both your mobile device and the printer. Confirm that the printer is correctly added and selected within the HP Smart app.
Double-sided printing is not working correctly.
Check that the automatic duplexing option is enabled in your printer settings or print dialogue box before sending the print job. Ensure the paper you are using meets the specifications for double-sided printing (not too thick or thin). If the issue persists, perform a printer alignment from the printer's maintenance menu.
