Uninstall instructions for Windows
The uninstall procedures vary according to the type of installation you used.
Uninstalling HP Image Zone in Windows operating systems
When you uninstall the HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 all-in-one, only the printing-system software
for the all-in-one is uninstalled. The uninstall does not delete the following software features:
■ HP Director
■ HP Document Viewer
■ HP Software Update
■ HP Image Zone
■ HP System Diagnostics
For troubleshooting purposes, it is not necessary to uninstall all software that is associated with your
HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840. This software functions independently of the product and can be
associated with other HP products and system devices.
To uninstall these programs, you must use the Add/Remove Programs feature in Windows. If you choose
to uninstall the software, you receive warnings that features that are associated with the software might
not function correctly if you proceed.
Uninstalling a Typical or Minimum installation
The following methods can be used to uninstall a Typical or Minimum installation.
■ Using the HP LaserJet all-in-one software Uninstall component (recommended)
■ Using the Windows Add or Remove programs component
NOTE If you uninstall the software for troubleshooting purposes, try uninstalling only specific
HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 print, scan, or fax drivers. The shared software programs,
such as HP Image Zone, HP Director, and HP Document Viewer, might not uninstall
successfully, and are unlikely to be the cause of product-specific problems. These shared
software programs should not need to be uninstalled, especially if they are being used by another
HP product.
Using the HP LaserJet all-in-one software Uninstall component (recommended)
Follow these steps to uninstall a Typical or Minimum installation of the HP LaserJet all-in-one software
by using the Uninstall component.
