The

Contents

tab provides a top-down view of the topics in the Help, similar to

the table of contents in a book. This is a useful way to find all the information
provided about a single feature, such as printing photos.

For information on tasks and features available from the control panel of the
HP All-in-One, open the

6300 series Help

book near the bottom of the list.

For troubleshooting information about the HP All-in-One, open the

Troubleshooting and support

book, and then open the

6300 series

Troubleshooting

book.

The other books listed on the

Contents

tab provide information on using the

HP Photosmart Software to complete tasks on the HP All-in-One.

Sections that contain subtopics are indicated in
the list by a book icon. To view a list of the
subtopics within a book, click the + sign next to
the book icon. (The + sign changes to a - sign
when the section is already expanded.) To view
the information in a topic, click the book name or
topic name on the

Contents

tab. The selected

topic appears in the display area on the right.

Index

The

Index

tab provides an alphabetical list of index entries relevant to the topics

in the

HP Photosmart Software Help

.

You can use the scroll bar on the right side of
the list to view the different entries, or you can
begin typing keywords in the text box above the
list. As you type, the list of index entries
automatically advances to the entries that begin
with the letters you type.

When you see an index entry that relates to the information you are trying to find,
double-click the index entry.

If there is only one topic in the Help associated with that index entry, that
topic appears in the display area on the right.

If there are many applicable topics, the

Topics Found

dialog box appears.

Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.

Search

The

Search

tab enables you to search the entire Help system for specific words,

such as "borderless print".

Tip

If any of the words you are entering are fairly common (such as

"print", in the "borderless print" example), you might want to place
quotation marks around the combination of words for which you are
searching. This limits your search so that the results are more relevant to
the information you need. Instead of returning all topics that contain either
the word "borderless" or the word "print", the search will only return topics
that contain the phrase "borderless print".
