Port HDMI IN WANT all-in-one product 23se-d494

I just bought it at Best Buy. He seems to have a HDMI IN (not out) port, and the seller assured me that I could use, for example, to connect a DVD player or XBox.  I would like to use it to connect a 2nd computer and to switch between the two.  However, I see no way to change the display on the HDMI IN port, and there is no documentation anywhere on this page (or other) functionality of this material.

I would be grateful for any help you can provide.

Thank you, but my computers are connected via a local network.  It works a lot better for me as a peer-to-peer connection, because I have a dozen of devices on my home network.

All I needed was the location of the switch, which toppled the output of the internal graphics card in the flow of the HDMI IN port.  It turns out that it is just below the DVD drive on the side of the system.  It is labeled with cryptic glyphs only, and I thought it was the 'eject' for the DVD player button.  Nope. It inverts the display between the graphical output internal and all that is streaming on the HDMI IN port.

BTW, I spent a VERY frustrating 45 minutes in a session of online help for the so-called with HP support.  First, the tech told me I couldn't use the HDMI port to a 2nd display and was told that I needed an accessory USB HDMI to do.  Five times "she says" it for me.  Of course, I knew that, and in any case this was not what I was asking.  Clearly, she was reading a script and poorly trained.

When she finally understood my question, she told me that what I wanted - display a 2nd computer on my screen output - was impossible (I do it now).  She said that the HDMI IN port would work only with a PS2 or a XBox.  At that time, I discovered the answer just by fiddling with the system.   I gave up and closed the session no need 'help '.  With these "technicians" misinformed, I'm not sure why HP that bothers.

If only HP had thought to have a better online description of the buttons on the right side of the system as the "cookies" I would not have had this problem at all.  Good course, they are of the 'orders '. The question is what that they control!

Thanks for responding in any case.

  • Want all-in-one 4507: Bluetooth

    Please can you let me know which Bluetooth dongles are compatible with this printer please?

    Thank you

    Hey @Helpmeprint1,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I understand that you are curious about what Bluetooth dongles are compatible with your HP ENVY 4507 e-all-in-one printer. I would like to help.

    Just for your information, Bluetooth is not supported by this printer.  I see that you are an Android user however - this is for you with a few different printing options thanks to the combination of the unit.

    The simplest option available is integrated Android printing solution.  Click here to find out how to use this method.  If you are looking for options to interface a little more, read on.

    • Front panel of the printer, press the icon of webservices/ePrint:
    • If you haven't already done so, activate your webservices and press OK to enable automatic updates to printer
    • When finished your printer will print a sheet of info announced his claimcode (which is the first part of the ePrint address preceding [email protected]).
    • If you were able to activate Web services successfully, you now have two additional printing methods that you can use with your Android device:
    1. ePrint by email - to use this feature, simply send the content you want to print (emails, photos and file attachments) by e-mail to the address @hpeprint.com of your printer.  You can use the email app on your Android device to do and for convenience, you can save the address of your printer to your contacts.  Earlier in this post, remember that the address of your ePrint printer would have appeared at the bottom of the slip of webservices.  Click here to learn more about customizing your ePrint printer's address.
    2. ePrint HP ePrint App - click here to install the HP ePrint app.  I generally recommend this method above others as the ePrint application give you the ability to customize your print jobs, print the photo and files stored on your device and print from the web.  Click here for more information on how to use the HP ePrint app.

    Let me know if you have any questions beyond that.  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to say "You rock!" by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution.

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.  Have a great day!

  • Want 4500: Option of PDF indexable 4500 want all-in-one software?

    Hello

    I just replaced my Photosmart C5280 All-in-one with an fancy 4500 all-in-one printer/scanner. To my horror the 4500 want does not scan to Searchable PDF Format. (I find this very dissapointing and think it should be clearly advertised on the box.)

    My Photosmart C5280 OCR software must always be installed on my computer (Windows 8) and there are OCR software on the market. But is it possible (installation, download, purchase, etc.) to get the 'Searchable PDF' option available to the envy of 4500 software of scans? I want to prevent additional steps for each document that I will be scanning.

    Thanks for all the help,

    HenriPe.

    Hello

    A lot of HP printers have this add as an option. Customers can download from the site of the 3rd seller, install, then activate. During the activation process, it will check the printer and if in the list, it will activate the software otherwise it won't and the softeware will expire in a week or a month (I don't remember). The 4500 envy and many other printers Envy is not in the list.

    Also, customers can purchase the full version of the software, but I think that it is more expensive than buying the printer option. Since many printers is now very cheap, adding even a USB cable, the software will make printers are more expensive.

    Kind regards.

  • Where are all the USB ports on a TouchSmart all in one? I can only find 2 on the left side

    I have a HP TouchSmart all in a (1315xt-600) and can find 2 of the 5 USB ports.  There are 2 located on the side left of the screen, but cannot find the other 3.  Anyone know how to access?

    paula407 wrote: thanks a lot for the info.  Another question, about the description I got for my computer, it say I: 6-in-1 memory card reader, 5 total USB, audio.   That's why I thought I had 5 USB ports.  Can you explain what that means?

    Hello paula407, the 6 in 1 card reader shows there: cards 6-in-1 Reader + 2 USB + 1 taken line-in

    This suggests that the card reader has only two USB ports on the front of the system and the other USB ports would be on the back or side of the system.

  • Re: can't get video to go to the TV via the HDMI on HP ENVY BEATS all in one

    It is not a computer laptop is an all in one. There was no category for all in one computer so I had to choose computer laptop.

    It's the HP ENVY BEATS ALL IN ONE >

    There is no output from the HDMI and I was led to believe that the HDMI on this ALL IN ONE is an entry only.

    Hello @dandy5509,

    I appreciate that you try to confirm that your desktop PC HP Beats Special Edition n010-23 all-in-One HDMI in only. I provided you with the page of all-in-one HP Beats Special Edition n010-23 Desktop PC product specifications which confirms what you were told that your computer has only one "5 - port HDMI In" and that it doesn't have HDMI - Out. "

    Now, if you really want to go HDMI - Out, you can always buy a "USB to HDMI adapter', which will allow you to have an HDMI - Out.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Envy120 all-in-one not to copy

    Our 120 want all-in-one does not copy. Wireless printing works very well. But when I load top something to copy everything that comes out is a full page of dark ink. Is there a light that could be since no light comes from the bar.

    Hi @RetiredRDH

    I think that the problem is related to the scanner bulb.

    The following document will help use the problem; Copies or Scans have vertical stripes, lines or Black Pages

    I hope this helps.

    If the issue persists, I suggest to call HP.  If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

    HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; guarantee cheque.

    I hope this helps.

    I have two printers, exactly the same thing, 5530 want all-in-one. One is in Arizona where I live part-time and we're in Oregon where I live part-time. I stopped instant Oregon printer ink when I went to AZ last November. I use instant ink program to AZ while there but she stopped this week when I went to Oregon. I tried to restart instantly ink, got an email that it was successful, but can not get all documents to print from laptop to the printer. Yesterday that it said unable to connect to the server and I chatted for two hours with HP on how to solve the problem. It will print the web now compatible congratulations sheet, but if you ask the computer to print, it circles repeatedly and it seems to wake up the printer at all.

    Now:

    1. If the printer is connected to your Mac via a USB cable, remove it.
    2. Close any programs you have open.
    3. Click the icon of your Apple system and print and Scan preferences.
    4. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
