Memory Card Support

The Photosmart C6380 printer’s integrated media card reader supports numerous formats, including Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Secure Digital/MultimediaCard, Secure Digital High Capacity Card and xD-Picture Card.

Wireless Ethernet Standard

Wireless Ethernet printing is included standard on HP Photosmart 6000-series printers.

Flat Bed Scanning and Copying

The Photosmart 6000 includes a flat-bed scanner, which can be handy for scanning/copying odd-size items but problematic if you have to regularly scan multi-page documents.

Simplified Connectivity

The back of the Photosmart 6000 includes just three ports.

Wired And Wireless Networking

The HP Solution Center software enables reviewing (and changing) the printer’s network settings.
