10 totalDoes the HP Smart Tank 580 support 5 GHz Wi-Fi connections?
No, the HP Smart Tank 580 only supports a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. You must ensure your computer or mobile device is connected to a 2.4 GHz network during setup. Attempting to connect via a 5 GHz network will cause the setup to fail. (Page 7)
What do I do if the Wi-Fi light is off and the printer won't connect during setup?
If the Wi-Fi light is off, the printer may have timed out of Wi-Fi setup mode. To restart Wi-Fi setup mode, press and hold the Wi-Fi button for 5 seconds until the control panel buttons light up, then press and hold the Wi-Fi and Information buttons for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi light blinks blue. Wait one minute, then close and reopen HP Smart and try connecting again. (Page 7)
What precautions should I take when installing the printheads?
Do not touch the electric contacts or print nozzles located under the tape on the printheads. Before installing printheads, ensure the printer is on, all four ink tanks are filled, and you have closed the front door for approximately 15 seconds after filling ink. Also, keep the orange guard upright and handle it carefully to avoid ink leaks. (Page 4)
How do I perform printhead alignment on the HP Smart Tank 580?
After loading paper, wait for the alignment page to print automatically. When the Open Lid light blinks, open the scanner lid and place the printed page face-down on the scanner glass, aligned to the indicated corner, then close the lid. Press the blinking copy button to scan the page; the icon 'A' will blink during the scan and disappear when alignment is complete. (Page 5)
Can I install the HP Smart app on a VPN connection?
No, you cannot install apps from the Microsoft Store when connected to a VPN. You should disconnect from your VPN before installing the HP Smart software and completing printer setup. Once setup is finished, you can reconnect to the VPN. (Page 7)
How do I safely move the HP Smart Tank 580 to prevent ink leaks?
Before moving the printer, turn it off, remove the power cord, and ensure the print carriage is all the way to the left. Insert a cardboard restraint into the printhead cover area and close the front door, then pack the printer in a box if available. While moving, keep the printer horizontal at all times to prevent ink leakage. (Page 7)
