Hi, today I am going to show you how to unbox,
set up, and install your HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile All-in-One printer.
The first thing to do is open the box.
So break the tape and fold back the flaps.
Inside the box you will find a packet of in-box resource materials.
The first thing you will see is the setup poster.
This has the basic set up instructions for this printer,
similar to what we are showing in this video.
The next item is the installation CD for both Windows and Mac.
If in the future you misplace this disc,
you can download the software and drivers at 123.hp.com.
Next is a caution flyer about human consumption
of the ink shipped with this printer.
And lastly is the Get started guide
which includes information on additional features for your printer,
and includes some basic troubleshooting.
Lift up the flap and you will find two ink cartridges.
One is tri-color, and the other is black.
For this particular region they are number 62,
but that might very depending on where you live.
Slide out the cardboard and underneath it
you will find the battery for your printer.
This is what makes this printer unique,
because with this battery you can print 8.5 by 11 pages anywhere you go.
The last item besides the printer is the power cord.
HP recommends always using the power cord shipped with your printer
for best performance.
Turn the printer box on its side so the top of the printer faces up.
Pull the printer and the cardboard supports completely out of the box.
Remove the cardboard supports from each side of the printer.
All materials in the packaging for this printer are recyclable.
Visit hp.com/recycle for more information about recycling your packaging material.
Remove the printer from the plastic bag.
Lift the top cover and remove the Styrofoam sheet.
Remove the specially designed tape from all sides of the printer.
This tape is designed to be removed easily without leaving behind any residue.
Remove any pieces of blue tape and plastic sheets.
Lift the ink access door and then remove any blue tape.
Remove the piece of tape and Styrofoam
and close the ink access door and then the top cover.
On the back of the printer,
remove the battery cover by pushing in the tab and sliding it out.
Install the battery by sliding the right side in the printer
and then snapping the left side in place.
On the battery, there is a battery level indicator which lights up,
letting you know how much battery power you have left.
Reinstall the battery cover by sliding the tab on the cover
into the slot on the printer and then snap the left side in place.
Next, remove the twist tie from the power cord
and insert it in the port on the back of the printer.
Plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet.
Lift the top cover.
Push down on the display to move it into viewing position.
Press the Power button.
The printer powers on and will ask you to confirm some questions.
Select your language from the list.
Touch Confirm.
Select your country from the list.
Touch Confirm again.
At this point, select your network setup environment.
If your IT department handles your network settings
select IT-Managed, otherwise, select Self-Managed to set it up yourself.
Now you will install the cartridges that came with your printer.
Lift the ink access cover to allow the carriage to move into position.
Remove the cartridge from the package.
It doesn't matter which one you open first.
With the cartridge out of the packaging,
pull the orange tab to correctly expose the ink nozzles.
Make sure not to touch the ink nozzles or electrical contacts.
Touching these can damage the cartridge.
Insert the cartridge into its corresponding slot.
Tri-color on the left, black on the right.
Using your fingers squeeze the cartridge and the carriage lock together
to secure the cartridge into position.
Remove the other cartridge from the package,
again removing the orange pull tab.
Set the cartridge in the slot
and squeeze the lock and cartridge to secure it.
Close the ink access cover.
Now we can load paper.
Fan a stack of unused plain white paper and then load it in the input tray.
Adjust the paper width guide so it touches the edge of the paper.
Touch OK on the control panel to begin performing an alignment.
An alignment calibrates the printer for the best quality printouts.
After the alignment page prints you can discard it or recycle it.
An Alignment Successful message displays on the control panel.
If you do not receive an Alignment Successful message,
go to support.hp.com for further assistance.
Touch OK to continue.
At this point, the hardware setup for your printer is complete.
Respond to any remaining prompts, if necessary.
To install the printer on your computer or other device, open a web browser.
Navigate to 123.hp.com/setup.
Click or tap the download button to save the file to your computer or device.
Open the file and read and respond to the prompts to complete the software setup.

This has been the unboxing, setting up, and installation
of the HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile All-in-One printer.
