To print on an HP DeskJet 2700, first load paper into the input tray with the print side facing up. Power on the printer, then print from your device either by sending a print job via USB or wirelessly after setting up Wi-Fi through the HP Smart app or printer software. You can print color or black-and-white copies by using the printer’s control panel copy buttons or print documents directly from your phone or computer via the HP Smart app or connected drivers[1][2][4][5].
Here are the essential steps:
1. **Load Paper**
– Raise the input tray and slide the paper-width guide to the left.
– Insert paper with the short edge down and print side up, then slide the paper-width guide against the paper[5].
2. **Power On the Printer**
– Press the power button to turn on the printer[1].
3. **Print a Document**
– From a computer or a mobile device, open the document you want to print.
– Select “Print” and choose your HP DeskJet 2700 printer.
– Choose print options such as number of copies, color or black-and-white, and paper size[3][4].
4. **Using the Control Panel for Copying**
– Open the scanner lid, place the original document face down on the right-front corner of the scanner glass, then close the lid.
– Press the color or black copy button on the printer control panel[1][4].
5. **Wireless Printing Setup (optional)**
– Use the HP Smart app on your phone or computer to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.
– Once connected, print wirelessly from your devices through the app[2].
For detailed guidance, the HP Smart app and the user manual provide step-by-step instructions for setup and printing. If the printer is not detected during setup, restart the setup mode by holding the wireless and cancel buttons together for 3 seconds until the wireless light blinks blue, then continue setup[4].
