Read these instructions carefully...

What you will need for this procedure

- Because some of the components of the printer are bulky, you will need up to four people to lift them. When this is necessary, this symbol is displayed:

Four black silhouette figures standing in front of a red triangular warning sign with an exclamation mark (no text or symbols on the figures themselves)

- To assemble the printer you will need at least 3 × 5 ~m (10 × 16 ft) of empty floor space, and about four hours.

Before you start unpacking, consider where you are going to put the assembled printer. You should allow some clear space at the back and at the front of the printer. The recommended clearances are shown in the illustration above.

HP Designjet 4500 with Scanner.

If you have bought the HP Designjet 4500 with a scanner, you can reduce the overall setup time by assembling the scanner first and then switching it on. The scanner will take one hour to warm up when started for the first time.

Setting up and connecting your printer

Mac OS

1. Driver installation

OS X

1. Connect the cable from your computer or network to the printer.
2. Insert the Drivers and Documentation CD into your CD drive, open the CD icon on your screen, and look for this icon:
   • 'OS X HP DJ 4500ps Install'
3. Double-click the icon to launch the installer, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
4. When the printer driver has been installed, the HP Printer Setup Assistant will start automatically, to set up a network or direct connection to your printer. Again, follow the instructions on your screen.

Setting up and connecting your printer

Windows

Network connection Windows

A network connection is the best way to share your printer with your team.

1. Make sure that the printer and the computer are both connected to the network.
2. Go to the printer's front panel and highlight the Setup icon.
3. The front panel will display some information, including the printer's IP address. Make a note of the IP address.

4. Insert the Drivers and Documentation CD into your CD drive. If the CD does not autorun, run the START.EXE program in the root folder of the CD.

5. Click the Install button.

6. Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the printer. The following notes will help you to understand the screens and make appropriate choices:

7. When asked how the printer is connected, choose 'Connected via the network'.

8. Select your printer from the list. If you have more than one HP Designjet printer, use the IP address that you noted earlier to confirm that you have selected the correct printer.

9. When the network settings of the selected printer are displayed, check that they are correct.

10. Now turn the page and go to the Embedded Web Server information.

Direct connection Windows

A direct connection using FireWire (IEEE 1394) or USB may be faster than a network connection, but the cable is limited in length and it is more difficult to share the printer.

Please note that a USB connection requires an optional accessory card.

1. Do not connect the computer to the printer yet. You must first install the printer driver software on the computer, as follows.
2. Insert the Drivers and Documentation CD into your CD drive. If the CD does not autorun, run the START.EXE program in the root folder of the CD.
3. Click the Install button.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the printer. The following notes will help you to understand the screens and make appropriate choices:
5. When asked how the printer is connected, choose 'Connected directly to this computer'.
6. When prompted to do so, connect your computer to the printer, using a FireWire or USB cable. Ensure that the printer is switched on.
7. Your printer is now ready to use, printer setup is complete.
