Setting up C340 20" non touch all in one pc/backup questions

Hello there I have just bought two C340's and I am nervious about setting them up, I have gone through the prompts and it says I am up and running now.  But as it came with windows 8 preinstalled I don't know if I should be backing up Windows 8?  I says stuff in the instructions about if you install you own OS to create a partition otherwise if you install it in c drive it will be wiped as part of the onetouch backup?  But I am not sure if I have read this correctly.  Should I be creating a recovery disk..of the OS or other parts? If so how? I also got a disk which says 'drivers' but it was never asked for in the basic setup prompts, and the pc says it is ready to use, so am I to suppose this is a spare copy? Lastly I have read alot on this forum about the re-sizing/repartitioning the c drive and the effect this has on the onekey back up.  I don't know if this also applies to my C340 but it scares the hell out of me, I daren't touch anything now, and if the same applies to my pc than the other people having c:/d: drive/onekey backup issues should I be saving everything to the d drive as the c drive is nonexistant, fills up fast and stops the onekey dead?  Thanks in advance.

hi confuseddotcom,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Regarding your questions:
1. For a brand new PC, It's highly recommended to create a recovery disc so that in event of a system crash, you can always restore the computer to factory defaults. Check this guide on how to create a recovery disc on Windows 8. As an alternative, you can use Aomei Partition Assistant Home Edition or EaseUS Disk Copy Home Edition to clone the HDD.
2. The driver disc contains softwares and drivers for your Lenovo C340. I recommend you keep this disc just in case to save you the hassle of downloading the drivers on the lenovo website.
3. If you're PC came with a 500GB or 1TB HDD and has partitions, you can save your files on the partition that has more free space. If you resize the partitions by using disk management, the OKR functionality might get corrupted. Make sure to check this guide on how to create a recovery disc on Windows 8.before you resize the partition.
Hope this helps.

  • Entering a "$" in the SSID password when setting up an HP Photosmart 2710 all-in-one printer

    Hello,
    I have a Photosmart 2710 all-in-one printer, and I am trying to set it up wirelessly. However, my SSID as a "$" in the password, and I can't find any way to enter this symbol in the wireless setup on the printer.  Also, when I try to run the HP Printer setup wizard I downloaded from the HP support site, it says this printer is not supported by the wizard?
    Can anyone help? 
    Thanks,
    jmmain1

    You must change your wireless password in the router to not  conntain any special characters.  Once done, go back and input the password in the printer.

  • Scanner set up for HP Officejet J4680 All-In-One

    I'm trying to set up to scan from the HP OfficejetJ4680  All-In-one. I do not know what software I need to download to my Acer laptop to get the scan function to work on the HP Officejet

    Hi Susieque,
    The best option, if it's available for your Operating System (Windows 7, etc.), is to download and install the Full Feature Software for your printer.   The FFS includes the scanning option.
    Here are the instructions:
    =========================================================================
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Software for your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.
    (Re)install the basic driver or Full Feature Software:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless).
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User.
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver or Full Feature Software – if available for your printer Save the *.exe installation package on your computer -
    NOTE the name and the location - the *.exe file will likely save to "Downloads “Install the Software / Driver installation package:  It will be named *.exe – the package will most likely be located in the Downloads folder.  If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTE:  There is sometimes a lot of information at the printer’s website: manuals, how-to pages, and alerts for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.
    ==========================================================================
    I hope this helps!

  • Setting up WiFi for a 7280 All-in-One Printer

  • Recommended Non-HP All-In-One?

    I have a new iMac running Snow Leopard. It has largely obsoleted my HP DeskJet 952c color inkjet printer, and I am thinking about getting a new one. I say that it is obsoleted because there is no HP driver for it; the Mac OS supplies a generic Gutenberg (no longer known as Gimp Print) driver.
    When I first got this HP printer, it worked very well! Double sided printing, features. ease of use, but as the Mac operating systems progressed, the features and ease of use diminished as HP failed to update drivers. The ink cartridges have never gone out of production, however!
    So my next printer will be one that is Mac friendly, hopefully with a history of supporting its products for a decade or longer.
    Any nominees?
    Thanks.

    driverless

    I've been using an HP C7280 all-in-one for quite a while now (on a Mac Pro) with no difficulties. It too does double-sided printing, scans well (and has an input tray). But given that the printers evolve quickly and are 'loss leaders' for the ink cartridges, it may not be realistic to expect drivers to be maintained for more than 2-3 years.
    The links at
    h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareListos=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=60653
    suggest that HP supoorted it for nigh on 5 years after the printer series introduction.

  • Trouble setting up my out of warranty all in one hp photosmart c309g-m printer

    Hi,
    I have an hp laptop with windows 7 and an hp photosmart premium c309g-m all in one printer that I have had for over 4 years.  It is now out of warranty and so I cannot get help with getting it to scan and print wirelessly (which it has never really done without giving me trouble) and so i tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and I keep getting a network diagnostic report that I have to verift that certain TCP and UDP ports are unblocked from PC to printer.  I don't know how to do this and will not pay $25 for someone to figure out something since I have already paid for the printer, shouldn't a good company provide free trouble-shooting and assistance??

    Hello, 
    Please try the below mentioned steps..
    The Wireless Setup Wizard, which you run from the printer's control panel.
    Make sure you know your network name and your security password (WEP or WPA).
    On the printer's control panel, press the Setup button and then select the Network menu. The Wireless Setup Wizard displays a list of wireless networks in the area. 
    Note: The Setup button may appear as a wrench icon. There are differences between product models.
    Select your wireless network's name from the list. 
    If you don't see your wireless network listed, you can enter your network name manually by scrolling to the bottom of the list. If you enter the name manually it must be exact, including upper and lower case characters.
    Enter your WEP key or WPA passphrase. You must enter the key or passphrase exactly, including upper and lower case characters. Your printer should connect to your wireless network. If it does not connect, you are given the opportunity to print a Wireless Network Test report that will help you find out what may be wrong.

  • HP Officejet 6310 all-in-one wireless option questions

    I have a HP Officejet 6300 All-in-One printer and I was using it with my wire network connection. I just moved to a new home, which I rent, and I do not want to make new wholes to past the cables then this is my question:
    "I have a Cisco Linksys AE1000 high performance wireless-N usb adpater (dual band)" and I saw this product Female USB A to Male Ethernet RJ45 Plug Adapter (on Amazon that I think will be great if I can use it). Can I connect them to make my printer wireless?"
    Please help.
    Thanks.
    BAK

    Unfortunately that will not work for this printer. Wireless printing is set up through the printers software that you install on your computer. Since this printer is not a wireless printer, there will be no option to set it up wirelessly in the software, the only options will be ethernet or USB.

  • Non printing all in one

    PSC 2410 running XP sp3.
    No error message. Printer printed a file perfectly, when directed to print a second copy,  page  ejected 1/2 way, then printing starts but no print and page ejects as tho completed. Same result when trying to copy a text document on the glass which would indicate not a driver issue. Print heads traverse very rapidly instead of slower as when printing text. Tried disconneting USB and power cord, reconnect, same result. Zero ink applied to paper yet the ink cartridge seemed fine on the first page when it printed.

    Hey,
    Make sure you are using the Hindi font drivers built into the Windows OS and not a 3rd party downloaded Hindi font package.  It is possible that the fonts you are using aren't compatible with the print driver you are using.  As well, it is possible that you need to download the drivers from the India support page for your printer.  I will provide a link below to this page.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-108718-3&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en...
    What software are you printing from that is not being able to print out Hindi fonts?

  • All in one 3512 alignment question

    How can I re-use the alignment page and not print a new one every time I change a cartridge?  I'm tired of wasting ink and paper with this nonsense. Is there a workaround?

    Hello nogoodusernames, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are looking into bypassing the alignment after changing your cartridge.  Due to the design of the printer, there is no way to bypass this.  When a new cartridge is put in, the alignment is automatic to ensure the cartridge prints properly, and everything is set up and calibrated to avoid any print quality issues.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • EA4500 Router and HP OJ8600 all in one printer interface questions.

    Hello- I am running IE11,WIN8.1,1TB HD,12GB memory with  Linksys's EA4500 Router connected to computer via Ethernet cable.  The computer is a Lenovo desktop(K430). I ran a Troubleshoot HP installation test on the interface between the computer and EA4500.  I opened my Linksys's Smart Wi-FI to perform the two following tasks.The Troubleshoot HP Installation suggested that I should set MAC Address Filtering to Disabled which I did with no problems. The Troubleshoot HP installation also suggested that I find my printer's MAC address and add it to my list of devices that are allowed to access my networh. How do I do this? Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should do a print configuration page from the printer and that should detail you all infomration regarding MAC and IP addressing. I recommend not using Mac Filtering as it's not needed. I recommend setting up a static IP address ON the printer, 192.168.1.86 which should be outside of the main routers default DCHP pool of .100 thru .199. You'll need to refer to the Mfr help and information on how to set up networking and the configuration of the printer. Review the User Manual as well. 

  • I brought a new ipad (3rd generation), the problem i am having is with itunes. i downloaded a television series onto my ipad, i did not know that it would try to download it all at one time. my question is how do i change the way my ipad loads.

    As I stated in the title, I purchased an ipad (3rd generation), and I am having trouble with itunes downloads. Mistakenly when I purchased a television series I selected download the entire series to my ipad. Is there a way to stop this download and change the download location to either my laptop or into the cloud?

    Did you try tapping on the download to bring up a pause status? You can finish the download on the computer in iTunes. You may be able to delete the download by swiping across the progress bar of the download after you finish the download on the computer.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the download in iTunes and then try to delete the download from the iPad.

  • C5180 All-in-one Printer Feeder Question

    One of the four feeders on the paper tray came off, which makes the paper feed incorrectly. Is there a way to put the black clip back on the tray? Please help. I love my printer. Is this something that can be fixed or will I have to replace the printer?

    Sure, uninstall the software and re-install from here.
    There is also a patch for those who upgraded from Vista to 7, but it is not clear if this is just for those who left their HP software in place during the upgrade or if it would also apply to your situation.
