Hi my name is Adam and I work for HP. Today I am going to show you the unboxing and setup
of the HP Deskjet 3520 printer.
So here is the HP Deskjet 3520 printer.
The first thing to do is to open up the box by prying up the tape.
Fold back the flaps so you can get items out easier.
On top of the inside of the box will be all of your accessories for your printer.
The first thing in here is the power cord which we will attach later.
Next we have the USB cable. On this printer you can either set it up via USB or wirelessly
to your computer.
This piece of paper here is your getting started guide. This is your basic step by step guide
for your printer.
The steps in this guide are similar to what is shown in this video.
The other booklet in here is the multi-language user guide for your printer which provides
basic setup and troubleshooting information.
Next is the installation CD for mac and windows. This printer has a special setup format where
you insert the CD into your computer and follow the instructions to setup both the software
and the hardware. In this video, we will only be showing you the hardware steps. You can
follow the prompts from the disk to setup the software.
The last item on the top is the cartridges for your printer. These type of cartridges
are called setup cartridges and are specially designed to help initialize your printer.
You MUST use these when first setting up your printer.
Pull the cardboard out and put it aside for recycling.
At this point we can remove the printer from the box. Just set the box on its side.
HP provides a carrying bag that holds your printer and helps you to remove it from the
box. Just find the two handles and then pull the
printer out of the box.
I'm going to set the box aside.
Now we can remove the packaging from the sides of the printer. Just so you know, all the
packaging around this printer is recyclable. Just remove the end-caps.
So once the packaging is clear, we can remove the printer from the bag. Just try to slide
back the bag and work the printer out.
Now we can start to remove any tape or other packaging materials that are on or inside
the printer. I like to start by taking the tape and protective film off the top. Just
peel the tape back. It is designed to come off fairly easily and not leave any residue
on the printer. Some pieces go under the printer so you will have to lift the printer up to
remove the tape. Make sure you get all the pieces that might be underneath.
To remove the protective film from the scanner lid you will have to lift the lid up and then
just slide it off.
On various spots around the printer there will be some hard to see clear film that you
can remove.
Now start removing tape from the front of the printer.
To remove this piece you need to lower the input tray and then you can just pull it off.
This last piece will require you to open the ink access door so you can remove it. You
will have lift up the top and then also remove the orange piece of plastic that is attached
to it.
Once it is removed you can close the ink access door.
So now that everything is unpacked and ready, we can start setting up the hardware. The
first thing we are going to do is connect the power cord. Start by removing the twist
tie that is on the power cord.
Now we can plug the power cable into the back of the printer.
Let me turn the printer around for you so you can see what I'm doing.
So go ahead and plug in the cable into the printer making sure its firmly in place.
Now we can go back to the front of the printer.
Then we are going to take the power cord and plug it into a power source. For this video
we are using a power strip but HP recommends that you plug your printer directly into a
wall outlet to prevent any power issues.
Go to the front of the printer and press the power button to turn on the printer.
Now that the printer is powered up, we have to set up the language and region for your
printer.
Go to the front of your printer.
Select the language you want to use and then press the ok button.
Confirm the language by scrolling to yes and press ok again.
Next choose your country and then press ok.
Again you will have to confirm by scrolling to yes and pressing ok again.
At this point you will want to insert the CD that came with your printer into your computer
to start the setup. The software will connect to the internet and download the latest software
for your printer. Or, if you don't want to do that, you can set up the software from
the disc itself.
Press OK to continue setting up your printer.
Now we will show you how to install the setup cartridges in your printer. Start by lifting
the ink access door and removing the protective guard from the carriage.
Next you need to remove the cartridges from the clear plastic. Just pop them free or you
can use some scissors if you are having problems.
The first cartridge we will install is the black. Remember that we must be using the
setup cartridges and not replacements. To open the cartridge you must
use the orange pull tab to properly open the vent slots. Pull up on the tab and then remove
the plastic from the cartridge.
Next we need to remove the orange cap from the cartridge. Place the cartridge in one
hand and then using your other hand, twist the cap off the cartridge. It might take a
little force to get it off.
Once the cap is off you can just slide it into it's correct slot and then push it
down until it snaps into place.
We can now move onto the next one which is the yellow cartridge. Open it up the same
way as the black and install it into its correct slot.
Now we will do the same for the cyan.
And finally we will do the same thing for the magenta.
Once those are in you can close the ink access door.
Your printer will confirm that cartridges were properly installed and that you are using genuine
HP cartridges.
Now we are going to load some paper into the input tray. Before you can load paper, you'll
have to widen the width adjustment guide. You'll want to use this when loading different
types of media like envelopes or photo paper.
Next tap a stack of paper on a hard surface and then slide it into the input tray. Tighten
the width adjustment guide until it is snug against the stack.
Press OK on the control panel and let the printer initialize.
Here we can just press OK since we have already loaded paper. Your printer might try to automatically
print an alignment.
This was the unboxing and setup for the HP Deskjet 3520 printer.
