This section contains the following topics:  
12  
Use the device  
         
Status messages  
Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal  
operation and require no action to clear them. They change as the state of the device  
changes. Whenever the device is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning  
messages, the date and time appear if the device is turned on.  
Warning messages  
Warning messages inform you of events that require your attention, but they do not  
prevent the device from operating. An example of a warning message is Low On Ink.  
Error messages  
Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding  
media or clearing a media jam. These messages are usually accompanied by a  
blinking red Attention light. Take the appropriate action to continue printing.  
If the error message shows an error code, press the Power button to turn off the  
device, and then turn it on again. In most situations, this action solves the problem. If  
the message persists, your device might need service.  
Critical error messages  
Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can  
be cleared by pressing the Power button to turn off the device, and then turning it on  
again. If a critical error persists, service is required. For more information, see Support  
Change device settings  
You can change the device settings from these places:  
From the device control panel.  
From the HP Solution Center (Windows) or HP Device Manager (Mac OS). For

supplies, and access the onscreen Help.  
The features available in the HP Solution Center vary depending on the devices you  
have installed. The HP Solution Center is customized to show icons that are  
associated with the selected device. If the selected device is not equipped with a  
particular feature, then the icon for that feature does not appear in the HP Solution  
Center.  
If the HP Solution Center on your computer does not contain any icons, an error might  
have occurred during the software installation. To correct this, use the Control Panel in  
Windows to completely uninstall the HP Photosmart Software, and then reinstall the  
software. For more information, see the onscreen Help that came with the device.  
For information about opening the HP Solution Center, see Use the HP photo and

You can use the HP photo and imaging software to access many features that are not  
available from the device control panel.  
The software is installed on your computer during setup. For further information, see  
the setup documentation that came with your device.  
Access to the HP photo and imaging software differs by operating system (OS). For  
example, if you have a Windows computer, the HP photo and imaging software entry  
point is the HP Photosmart Software window. If you have a Macintosh computer, the  
HP photo and imaging software entry point is the HP Photosmart Studio window.

selected device is not equipped with a particular feature, then the icon for that  
feature does not appear in the software.  
TIP: If the HP Photosmart Software on your computer does not contain any  
icons, an error might have occurred during the software installation. To correct  
this, use the Control Panel in Windows to completely uninstall the  
HP Photosmart Software; then reinstall the software. For more information, see  
the setup poster that came with your device.

NOTE: Remove all originals from the document feeder tray before lifting the lid on  
the device.  
Select print media  
The device is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a  
variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum  
print quality. Visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com for more information about HP  
media.  
Tips for selecting and using print media  
For the best results, observe the following guidelines.  
Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more  
Load only one type of media at a time into a tray.  
Load media print-side down and aligned against the right and back edges of the  
tray. For more information, see Load media.  
17  
Select print media  
     
Chapter 2  
Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for  
To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following  
media:  
Multipart forms  
Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled  
Media with cutouts or perforations  
Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well  
Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily  
Cards and envelopes  
Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or  
windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or  
areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.  
Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.  
Load envelopes with the flaps facing up.  
Photo media  
Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes  
longer and more memory is required from your computer.  
Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack  
up may cause smearing.  
Transparencies  
Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing  
towards the back of the device.  
Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying  
time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to  
the main tray.  
Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack  
up may cause smearing.  
Custom-sized media  
Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.  
If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the  
application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You  
might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized  
media.  
Understand specifications for supported media  
weights tables to determine the correct media to use with your device, and determine  
what features will work with your media.

the network or a program on a computer. You can use the device control panel, the  
HP photo and imaging software, and TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant programs on  
a computer.  
Scan functions are only available after you install the software.  
This section contains the following topics:  
Scan an original  
You can start a scan from a computer or from the device control panel. This section  
explains how to scan from the device control panel only.  
NOTE: You can also use the HP Photosmart Software to scan an image,  
including panorama images. Using this software, you can edit a scanned image  
and create special projects using a scanned image. For information about how to  
scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your  
scans, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Software Help that came with your  
software.  
To use the scan features, your device and computer must be connected and turned  
on. The printer software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to  
scanning. To verify that the printer software is running on a computer running  
Windows, look for the device icon in the system tray at the lower-right side of the  
screen, near the clock. To verify this on a computer using the Mac OS, open the HP  
Device Manager, and click Scan Picture. If a scanner is available, it will launch the HP  
ScanPro application. If it is not available, a message appears to let you know that a  
scanner was not found.  
NOTE: Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in your Windows system tray  
can cause your device to lose some of its scan functionality and result in the No  
Connection error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by  
restarting your computer or by starting the HP Photosmart Software.  
Scan an original to a program on a computer (direct connection)  
Use the following steps if your device is directly connected to a computer via a USB  
cable.

2. See the onscreen Help for further instructions.  
To send a scan to a program on a computer from the device control panel (direct  
connect)  
1. Load the original on the scanner glass. For more information, see Load originals.  
2. Press the left arrow or the right arrow to select the Scan function, and then  
press OK.  
3. Press right arrow to select the program that you want to use (such as the HP  
photo and imaging software), and then press OK.  
4. Press Start.  
Scan from a TWAIN-compliant or a WIA-compliant program  
The device is TWAIN-complaint and WIA-compliant and works with programs that  
support TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant scanning devices. While you are in a  
TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to the scanning  
feature and scan an image directly into the program.  
TWAIN is supported in all Windows and Mac OS operating systems.  
In Windows operating systems, WIA is supported only for Windows XP and Vista  
direct connections. WIA is not supported for the Mac OS.  
Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program  
Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as  
Acquire, File Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you  
are unsure whether the program is compliant or you do not know what the command is  
called, see the software program Help or documentation.  
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program  
Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.  
Scan from a WIA-compliant program  
Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant if it has a command such as Picture/  
From Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the  
program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the  
software program Help or documentation.  
Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help  
or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scan  
           
Edit a scanned original  
You can edit a scanned image using the HP Photosmart Software. You can also edit a  
scanned document by using your Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.  
NOTE: To edit a scanned image, OCR software must be installed on your  
computer.  
Edit a scanned photo or graphic  
You can edit a scanned photo or graphic using the HP Photosmart Software. Use this  
software to adjust the brightness, contrast, color saturation, and more. You can also  
rotate the image using the HP Photosmart Software.  
For more information, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Software Help.  
Edit a scanned document using optical character recognition (OCR) software  
You can use OCR software to import scanned text into your preferred word-processing  
program for editing. This allows you to edit letters, newspaper clippings, and many  
other documents.  
You can specify the word-processing program that you want to use for editing. If the  
word-processing icon is not present or active, either you do not have word-processing  
software installed on your computer, or the scanner software did not recognize the  
program during the installation. See the onscreen Help for the HP photo and imaging  
software for information about how to create a link to the word-processing program.  
The OCR software does not support scanning colored text. Colored text is always  
converted to black-and-white text before being sent to OCR. Thus, all text in the final  
document is in black and white, regardless of the original color.  
Because of the complexity of some word-processing programs and their interaction  
with the device, it is sometimes preferable to scan to Wordpad (a Windows  
accessory), and then cut and paste the text into the preferred word-processing  
program.  
Change scan settings  
To change scan settings  
HP Device Manager (Mac OS): Launch HP Device Manager, click Information  
and Settings, and then select Scan Preferences from the drop-down list.  
Windows: Open the device software, select Settings, select Scan Settings and  
Preferences, then select from the available options and make your selections.

Send a fax manually from a phone  
Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient  
before you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are  
going to send them a fax before sending it. When you send a fax manually, you can  
hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your  
telephone. This makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.  
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might  
answer the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the  
phone, you can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine  
41

receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to transmit the fax.  
5. When you are ready to send the fax, press Start.  
NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax, and then place the original in the ADF.  
If you were speaking with the recipient before sending the fax, inform the recipient  
that they should press Start on their fax machine after they hear fax tones.  
The telephone line is silent while the fax is transmitting. At this point, you can hang  
up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient, remain on  
the line until the fax transmission is complete.  
Send a fax using monitor dialing  
Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the device control panel as you would  
dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the  
dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the device.  
This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of  
your dialing.  
TIP: If you do not enter your calling card PIN fast enough, the device might start  
sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling  
card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN  
for your calling card.  
NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on, or you will not hear a dial tone.

then dials the first number. When a connection is made, it sends the fax and  
dials the next number. If a number is busy or not answering, the device follows  
the settings for Busy Redial and No Answer Redial. If a connection cannot be  
made, the next number is dialed and an error report is generated.  
Send a color original or photo fax  
You can fax a color original or photo from the device. If it determines that the  
recipient's fax machine only supports black-and-white faxes, the fax is sent in black

Chapter 6  
This section contains the following topics:  
Change the fax resolution  
The Resolution setting affects the transmission speed and quality of faxed black-and-  
white documents. If the receiving fax machine does not support the resolution you  
have chosen, the HP All-in-One sends faxes at the highest resolution supported by the  
receiving fax machine.  
NOTE: You can only change the resolution for faxes that you are sending in black  
and white. The device sends all color faxes using Fine resolution.  
The following resolution settings are available for sending faxes: Fine, Very Fine,  
Photo, and Standard.  
Fine: provides high-quality text suitable for faxing most documents. This is the  
default setting. When sending faxes in color, the device always uses the Fine  
setting.  
Very Fine: provides the best quality fax when you are faxing documents with very  
fine detail. If you choose Very Fine, be aware that the faxing process takes longer  
to complete and you can only send black-and-white faxes using this resolution. If  
you send a color fax, it will be sent using Fine resolution instead.  
Photo: provides the best quality fax when sending photographs in black and white.  
If you choose Photo, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete.  
When faxing photographs in black and white, HP recommends that you choose  
Photo.  
Standard: provides the fastest possible fax transmission with the lowest quality.  
When you exit the Fax menu, this option returns to the default setting unless you set  
your changes as the default.  
To change the resolution from the device control panel  
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see Load originals.

Send a fax in Error Correction Mode  
Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by  
detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting  
retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even  
be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time  
and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is On.  
Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and you can accept  
poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.  
Before turning the ECM setting off, consider the following. If you turn ECM off  
The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.  
The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.  
You will no longer be able to send or receive faxes in color.

Receive a fax  
You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer  
option, you must receive faxes manually. If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the  
default setting), the device automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes  
after the number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. (The  
default Rings to Answer setting is five rings.)  
If you receive a legal-size fax and the device is not currently set to use legal-size  
paper, the device reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have  
disabled the Automatic Reduction feature, the device prints the fax on two pages.  
NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the  
device memory until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages  
stored in memory.  
Receive a fax manually  
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking with can send you a fax  
while you are still connected. This is referred to as manual faxing. Use the instructions  
in this section to receive a manual fax.  
NOTE: You can pick up the handset to talk or listen for fax tones.  
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:  
Directly connected to the device (on the 2-EXT port)  
On the same phone line, but not directly connected to the device  
To receive a fax manually  
1. Make sure the device is turned on and you have paper loaded in the main tray.  
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.  
3. Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the  
incoming call before the device answers. Or, turn off the Auto Answer setting so  
that the device does not automatically answer incoming calls.

Set up backup fax  
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the device to  
store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device is in an error  
condition, or none of the faxes it receives.  
The following Backup fax modes are available:  
On  
The default setting. When Backup fax is On, the device stores all  
received faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of the  
most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.  
NOTE: When device memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed  
faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted  
faxes, the device stops answering incoming fax calls.  
NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed  
color photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.  
On Error Only  
Causes the device to store faxes in memory only if an error condition  
exists that prevents the device from printing the faxes (for example, if the  
device runs out of paper). The device continues to store incoming faxes  
as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the  
device stops answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is  
resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they  
are deleted from memory.  
Off  
Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn  
off Backup fax for security purposes. If an error condition occurs that  
prevents the device from printing (for example, the device runs out of  
paper), the device stops answering incoming fax calls.  
NOTE: If Backup fax is enabled and you turn off the device, all faxes stored in  
memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received  
while the device was in an error condition. You must contact the senders to ask  
them to resend any unprinted faxes. For a list of the faxes you have received, print  
the Fax Log. The Fax Log is not deleted when the device is turned off.

Reprint received faxes from memory  
If you set the Backup fax mode to On, the received faxes are stored in memory,  
whether the device has an error condition or not.  
NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten  
as new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the device does  
not receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might  
also want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.  
Depending on the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to eight of the most  
recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example, you might need to  
reprint your faxes if you lost the copy of your last printout.

Poll to receive a fax  
Polling allows the HP All-in-One to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in  
its queue. When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the HP All-in-One calls the  
designated fax machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine  
must be set for polling and have a fax ready to send.  
NOTE: The HP All-in-One does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass  
codes are a security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a  
pass code to the device it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the  
device you are polling does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the  
default pass code) or the HP All-in-One will not be able to receive the fax.

Set automatic reduction for incoming faxes  
The Automatic Reduction setting determines what the HP All-in-One does if it  
receives a fax that is too large for the default paper size. This setting is turned on by  
default, so the image of the incoming fax is reduced to fit on one page, if possible. If  
this feature is turned off, information that does not fit on the first page is printed on a  
second page. Automatic Reduction is useful when you receive a legal-size fax and  
letter-size paper is loaded in the main tray.

Block junk fax numbers  
If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block  
specific fax numbers so the device does not print faxes received from those numbers.  
When an incoming fax call is received, the device compares the number to the list of  
junk fax numbers to determine if the call should be blocked. If the number matches a  
number in the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not printed. (The maximum number  
of fax numbers you can block varies by model.)  
NOTE: This feature is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not supported  
in your country/region, Junk Fax Blocker does not appear in the Fax Settings  
menu.

eliminate the hassle of dealing with bulky paper files. Received faxes are saved as  
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format). Once the fax is received, you get a notification with  
a link to the folder where the fax is saved.  
The files are named in the following method: XXXX_YYYYYYYY_ZZZZZZ.tif, where X  
is the sender's information, Y is the date, and Z is the time that the fax was received.  
NOTE: Fax to PC is available for receiving black-and-white faxes only. Color  
faxes are printed instead of being saved to the computer.

Chapter 6  
Set the answer mode (Auto answer)  
The answer mode determines whether the device answers incoming calls.  
Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the device to answer faxes  
automatically. The device answers all incoming calls and faxes.  
Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must  
be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call or the device does not  
receive faxes.  
To set the answer mode to manual or automatic via the device control panel  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press right arrow to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.  
3. Press right arrow to select Answer Options, and then press OK.  
4. Press right arrow to select Auto Answer, and then press OK.  
5. Press right arrow to select On or Off as appropriate for your setup, and then  
press OK.  
When Auto Answer is On, the device answers calls automatically. When Auto  
Answer is Off, it does not answer calls.  
Set the number of rings before answering  
If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before  
incoming calls are automatically answered.  
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the  
same phone line as the device, because you want the answering machine to answer  
the phone before the device does. The number of rings to answer for the device  
should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.  
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the device to  
answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by  
country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the device  
monitors the line. If the device detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a  
voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message.  
To set the number of rings before answering via the device control panel  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press right arrow to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.  
3. Press right arrow to select Answer Options, and then press OK.  
4. Press right arrow to select Rings to Answer, and then press OK.  
5. Enter the appropriate number of rings by using the keypad, or press left arrow or  
right arrow to change the number of rings.  
6. Press OK to accept the setting.  
Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring  
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several  
phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number  
is assigned a different ring pattern. You can set up the device to answer incoming calls  
that have a specific ring pattern.  
56  
Fax  
           
If you connect the device to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company  
assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP  
recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the device  
detects the specified ring pattern, it answers the call and receives the fax.  
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All  
Rings.  
NOTE: The HP fax cannot receive faxes when the main phone number is off the  
hook.  
To change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring via the device control panel  
1. Verify that the device is set to answer fax calls automatically.  
2. Press Setup.  
3. Press right arrow to select Basic Settings, and then press OK.  
4. Press right arrow to select Ring Pattern, and then press OK.  
When the phone rings with the ring pattern assigned to your fax line, the device  
answers the call and receives the fax.  
Set the fax error correction mode  
Typically, the device monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or  
receiving a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the error-  
correction setting is on, the device can request that a portion of the fax be resent.  
Turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and  
you want to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be  
useful when you are trying to send a fax to another country/region or receive a fax  
from another country/region, or if you are using a satellite phone connection.  
To set the fax error-correction mode  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press right arrow to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.  
3. Press right arrow to select Error Correction, and then press OK.  
4. Press right arrow to select On or Off, and then press OK.  
Set the dial type  
Use this procedure to set tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is  
Tone. Do not change the setting unless you know that your phone line cannot use  
tone dialing.  
NOTE: The pulse-dialing option is not available in all countries/regions.  
To set the dial type  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press right arrow to select Basic Settings, and then press OK.

Set the redial options  
If the device was unable to send a fax because the receiving fax machine did not  
answer or was busy, the device attempts to redial based on the settings for the busy-  
redial and no-answer-redial options. Use the following procedure to turn the options on  
or off.  
Busy redial: If this option is turned on, the device redials automatically if it  
receives a busy signal. The factory-set default for this option is ON.  
No answer redial: If this option is turned on, the device redials automatically if the  
receiving fax machine does not answer. The factory-set default for this option is OFF.  
To set the redial options  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press right arrow to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.  
3. Press right arrow to select Redial Options, and then press OK.  
4. Press right arrow to select the appropriate Busy Redial or No Answer Redial  
options, and then press OK.  
Set the fax speed  
You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your device and other fax  
machines when sending and receiving faxes. The default fax speed is Fast.  
If you use one of the following, setting the fax speed to a slower speed might be  
required:  
An Internet phone service  
A PBX system  
Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)  
An integrated services digital network (ISDN) service  
If you experience problems sending and receiving faxes, you might want to try setting  
the Fax Speed setting to Medium or Slow. The following table provides the available  
fax speed settings.

Fax  
       
Fax over the Internet  
You may subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive  
faxes with your device by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet  
Protocol (FoIP). You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone  
company) if you:  
Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or  
Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone  
ports for the fax connection.  
NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the  
port labeled "1-LINE" on the device. This means that your connection to the  
Internet must be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular  
analog phone jacks for fax connections) or your telephone company.  
Some Internet faxing services do not work properly when the device is sending and  
receiving faxes at high speed (33600bps). If you experience problems sending and  
receiving faxes while using an Internet fax service, use a slower fax speed. You can  
do this by changing the Fax Speed setting from High (the default) to Medium. For  
information on changing this setting, see Set the fax speed.  
If you have questions about internet faxing, contact your internet faxing services  
support department.  
Test fax setup  
You can test your fax setup to check the status of the device and to make sure it is set  
up properly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the device  
for faxing. The test does the following:  
Tests the fax hardware  
Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the device  
Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port  
Checks for a dial tone  
Checks for an active phone line  
Tests the status of your phone line connection  
The device prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report  
for information on how to fix the problem and rerun the test.  
To test fax setup  
1. Set up the device for faxing according to your particular home or office setup

(Windows) or HP Fax Setup Utility (Mac OS) through the software you installed  
with the device. After you run the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Fax Setup  
Utility (Mac OS), follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.  
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)  
Before you begin setting up the device for faxing, determine which kind of phone  
system your country/region uses. The instructions for fax setup differ depending on  
whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone system.  
If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a  
serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on  
your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines)  
does not allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the device. Instead, all  
equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.  
NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the  
phone cord that came with the device might have an additional wall plug  
attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall  
jack where you plug in the device.  
If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a parallel-type  
telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared  
telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of  
the device.  
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use  
the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the device to connect it to the telephone  
wall jack.

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check  
with your telephone company.  
Choose the correct fax setup for your home or office  
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any)  
share the same phone line with the device. This is important because you might need  
to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the device, and you might  
also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.  
To determine the best way to set up the device in your home or office, first read  
through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table  
in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your  
answers.  
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.  
1. Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone  
company? (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)  
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up the device with DSL. You  
do not need to continue answering questions.  
If you answered No, continue answering questions.  
2. Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated  
services digital network (ISDN) system?  
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up the device with a PBX  
phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering questions.  
If you answered No, continue answering questions.

Chapter 7  
3. Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company that  
provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?  
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service  
on the same line. You do not need to continue answering questions.  
If you answered No, continue answering questions.  
Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a  
distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one  
phone line.  
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring  
pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the different  
numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice  
calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows  
you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.  
4. Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on  
the device?  
Continue answering questions.  
5. Do you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line as the device?  
Are you unsure if you use a computer dial-up modem? If you answer Yes to any of  
the following questions, you are using a computer dial-up modem:  
Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software  
applications through a dial-up connection?  
Do you send and receive e-mail messages on your computer through a dial-up  
connection?  
Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection?  
Continue answering questions.  
6. Do you have an answering machine that answers voice calls at the same phone  
number you will use for fax calls on the device?  
Continue answering questions.  
7. Do you subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company at the  
same phone number you will use for fax calls on the device?  
After you have completed answering the questions, proceed to the next section to  
select your fax setup case.  
Select your fax setup case  
Now that you have answered all the questions about the equipment and services that  
share the phone line with the device, you are ready to choose the best setup case for  
your home or office.

Case B: Set up the device with DSL  
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any  
equipment to the device, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter  
between the telephone wall jack and the device. The DSL filter removes the digital  
signal that can interfere with the device, so the device can communicate properly with  
the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)  
NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not  
be able to send and receive faxes with the device.

phone cords for this setup.  
3. Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.  
4. Run a fax test.  
73  
Set up faxing for the device  
   
Chapter 7  
Case C: Set up the device with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line  
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter,  
make sure you do the following:  
If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the  
device to the port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make sure that  
the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/region, if  
possible.  
NOTE: Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific  
phone equipment. For example, you might have assigned one port for  
telephone and Group 3 fax and another port for multiple purposes. If you have  
problems when connected to the fax/phone port of your ISDN converter, try  
using the port designated for multiple purposes; it might be labeled "multi-  
combi" or something similar.  
If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to "off."  
NOTE: Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to "on"  
by default. The call waiting tone will interfere with any fax transmission, and  
you will not be able to send or receive faxes with the device. Refer to the  
documentation that came with your PBX phone system for instructions on how  
to turn off the call-waiting tone.  
If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before  
dialing the fax number.  
Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to  
the device. If you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special  
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home  
or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, you can purchase a coupler from  
your local electronics store and extend it.  
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line  
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that  
allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different  
ring pattern, set up the device as described in this section.

telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the  
back of the device.  
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall  
jack to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special  
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your  
home or office.  
2. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.  
3. Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone  
company assigned to your fax number.  
NOTE: By default, the device is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not  
set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax  
number, the device might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not  
answer at all.  
4. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).  
5. Run a fax test.  
The device automatically answers incoming calls that have the ring pattern you  
selected (Distinctive Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to  
Answer setting). The device begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax  
machine and receives the fax.  
Case E: Shared voice/fax line  
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you have  
no other office equipment (or voice mail) on this phone line, set up the device as  
described in this section.

2. Do one of the following:  
If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port  
labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device, and then connect a phone to this port.  
If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on  
top of the device cable which has a wall plug attached to it.  
3. Now you need to decide how you want the device to answer calls, automatically or  
manually:  
If you set up the device to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming  
calls and receives faxes. The device will not be able to distinguish between fax  
and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need  
to answer it before the device answers the call. To set up the device to answer  
calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.  
If you set up the device to answer faxes manually, you must be available to  
respond in person to incoming fax calls or the device cannot receive faxes. To  
set up the device to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.  
4. Run a fax test.  
If you pick up the phone before the device answers the call and hear fax tones from a  
sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.  
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail  
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also  
subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the device  
as described in this section.  
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at  
the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually;  
this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you  
want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to  
subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.

this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the device emits  
fax reception tones and receives the fax; if there are no fax tones, the device stops  
monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.  
Case J: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and answering machine  
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also  
have a computer modem and answering machine connected on this phone line, set up  
the HP device as described in this section.  
NOTE: Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP  
device, you cannot use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For  
example, you cannot use the HP device for faxing while you are using your  
computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.  
Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and answering machine  
There are two different ways to set the HP device with your computer based on the  
number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to  
see if it has one or two phone ports.  
If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel  
splitter, as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and

a parallel splitter. You can plug the answering machine into the “OUT” port on  
the back of the computer.  
When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you  
have set, and then plays your recorded greeting. The device monitors the call during  
this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the device emits  
fax reception tones and receives the fax; if there are no fax tones, the device stops  
monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.

To set up the device with a computer DSL/ADSL modem  
1. Obtain a DSL/ADSL filter from your DSL/ADSL provider.  
NOTE: Phones in other parts of the home/office sharing the same phone  
number with DSL/ADSL service will need to be connected to additional DSL/  
ADSL filters, otherwise you will experience noise when making voice calls.  
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to the  
DSL/ADSL filter, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back  
of the device.  
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL/ADSL  
filter to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special  
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your  
home or office.  
3. Connect the DSL/ADSL filter to the splitter.  
4. Unplug the answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the  
port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.  
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the device,  
fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering  
machine, and you probably will not be able to receive faxes with the device.  
5. Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.  
6. Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.  
7. Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.  
8. Change your Rings to Answer setting on the device to the maximum number of  
rings supported by the device.  
NOTE: The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.  
9. Run a fax test.  
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings  
you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The device monitors the call  
during this time, “listening” for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the device  
will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the device  
stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.  
If you use the same phone line for telephone, fax, and have a computer DSL modem,  
follow these instructions to set up your fax.  
Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail  
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a  
computer dial-up modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail  
service through your telephone company, set up the device as described in this section.  
89  
Set up faxing for the device  
   
Chapter 7  
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at  
the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually;  
this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you  
want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to  
subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.  
Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the device, you cannot  
use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use  
the device for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail  
or access the Internet.  
There are two different ways to set up the device with your computer based on the  
number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to  
see if it has one or two phone ports.  
If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel  
splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11  
port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone  
splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front  
and a plug on the back.)

To set up the device on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports  
1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.  
2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer  
dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone  
wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.  
3. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.  
4. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to your  
telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the  
back of the device.  
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall  
jack to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special  
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your  
home or office.  
5. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn  
off that setting.  
NOTE: If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your  
modem software, the device will not be able to receive faxes.  
6. Turn off the Auto Answer setting.  
7. Run a fax test.  
You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the device cannot  
receive faxes.

If the device is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might  
accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing  
fibers. When debris gets on the ink cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges  
on printed pages. Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles  
as described here.  
NOTE: Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks  
and smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the ink  
cartridges by using the device control panel or the software you installed with the  
HP All-in-One.

Store printing supplies  
The ink cartridge protector is designed to keep an ink cartridge secure and prevent it  
from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove an ink cartridge from  
the device with the intention of using it again later, store it in the ink cartridge  
protector. For example, store the black ink cartridge in an ink cartridge protector if you  
are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color ink  
cartridges.  
NOTE: If you do not have an ink cartridge protector, you can order one from HP  
Support. For more information, see Support and warranty. You can also use an air-  
tight container, such as a plastic tub. Make sure the nozzles are not touching  
anything when you store the ink cartridges.

Ink is smearing  
Check the print settings  
When you print documents that use much ink, allow more time to dry before  
handling the printouts. This is especially true for transparencies. In the printer  
driver, select the Best print quality, and also increase the ink drying time and  
reduce the ink saturation using the ink volume under the advanced features  
(Windows) or ink features (Mac OS). However, note that decreasing ink saturation  
might give printouts a "washed-out" quality.  
Color documents that have rich, blended colors can wrinkle or smear when printed  
using the Best print quality. Try using another print mode, such as Normal, to  
reduce ink, or use HP Premium Paper designed for printing vivid color documents.  
For more information, see Change print settings.

files. To obtain good results when scanning or copying, do not use a resolution  
that is higher than needed. You can lower the resolution to scan more quickly.  
If you acquire an image through TWAIN, you can change the settings so that  
the original scans in black and white. See the onscreen Help for the TWAIN  
program for information.  
Check the status of the device  
If you sent a print or copy job before you tried to scan, the scan starts if the  
scanner is not busy. However, the printing and scanning processes share memory,  
which means that the scan might be slower.

Make sure that you loaded the original correctly. For more information, see  
Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend into the  
background. Try adjusting the settings before you scan the original, or try  
enhancing the image after you scan the original.  
Check the settings  
Make sure that the input media size is large enough for the original that you  
are scanning.  
If you are using the HP photo and imaging software, the default settings in the  
HP photo and imaging software might be set to automatically perform a  
specific task other than the one that you are attempting. See the onscreen  
Help for the HP photo and imaging software for instructions about changing the  
properties.  
Text cannot be edited  
Check the settings  
Make sure that the OCR software is set to edit text.  
When you scan the original, make sure that you select a document type that  
creates editable text. If text is classified as a graphic, it is not converted to text.  
Your OCR program might be linked to a word-processing program that does  
not perform OCR tasks. See the product software Help for more information  
about linking programs.  
Check the originals  
Make sure that you placed the original correctly on the scanner glass. For  
more information, see Load originals.  
The OCR program might not recognize text that is tightly spaced. For example,  
if the text that the OCR program converts has missing or combined characters,  
"rn" might appear as "m."  
The accuracy of the OCR program depends on the image quality, text size,  
and structure of the original and the quality of the scan itself. Make sure that  
your original has good image quality.  
Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend too much.  
Try adjusting the settings before you scan the original, or try enhancing the  
image after you scan the original. If you are performing an OCR operation on  
an original, any colored text on the original does not scan well, if at all.

Error messages appear  
"Unable to activate TWAIN source" or "An error occurred while acquiring the  
image"  
If you are acquiring an image from another device, such as a digital camera or  
another scanner, make sure that the other device is TWAIN-compliant. Devices  
that are not TWAIN-compliant do not work with the device software.  
Make sure that you have connected the USB Device Cable to the correct port on  
the back of your computer.  
Verify that the correct TWAIN source is selected. In the software, check the  
TWAIN source by selecting Select Scanner on the File menu.  
Scanned image quality is poor  
The original is a second-generation photo or picture  
Reprinted photographs, such as those in newspapers or magazines, are printed by  
using tiny dots of ink that make an interpretation of the original photograph, which  
degrades the quality. Often, the ink dots form unwanted patterns that can be detected  
when the image is scanned or printed or when the image appears on a screen. If the  
following suggestions do not solve the problem, you might need to use a better-quality  
version of the original.  
To eliminate the patterns, try reducing the size of the image after scanning.  
Print the scanned image to see if the quality is better.  
Make sure that the resolution and color settings are correct for the type of scan job.  
Text or images on the back of a two-sided original appear in the scan  
Two-sided originals can "bleed" text or images from the back side to the scan if the  
originals are printed on media that is too thin or too transparent.  
The scanned image is skewed (crooked)  
The original might have been placed incorrectly. Be sure to use the media guides  
when you place the original on the scanner glass. For more information, see Load

Maintain and troubleshoot  
The phone line connection might be noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality  
(noise) can cause faxing problems. Check the sound quality of the phone line  
by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other  
noise. If you hear noise, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing  
again. For information about changing ECM, see the onscreen Help. If the  
problem persists, contact your telephone company.  
If you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service, make sure that you  
have a DSL filter connected or you will not be able to fax successfully. For  
more information, see Case B: Set up the device with DSL.  
Make sure the device is not connected to a telephone wall jack that is set up  
for digital phones. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular  
analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal  
sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones.  
If you are using either a private branch exchange (PBX) or an integrated  
services digital network (ISDN) converter/terminal adapter, make sure the  
device is connected to the correct port and the terminal adapter is set to the  
correct switch type for your country/region, if possible. For more information,  
If the device shares the same phone line with a DSL service, the DSL modem  
might not be properly grounded. If the DSL modem is not properly grounded, it  
can create noise on the phone line. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise)  
can cause faxing problems. You can check the sound quality of the phone line  
by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other  
noise. If you hear noise, turn off your DSL modem and completely remove  
power for at least 15 minutes. Turn the DSL modem back on and listen to the  
dial tone again.  
NOTE: You might notice static on the phone line again in the future. If the  
device stops sending and receiving faxes, repeat this process.  
If the phone line is still noisy, contact your telephone company. For information  
on turning your DSL modem off, contact your DSL provider for support.  
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a

If you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line with the device,  
check to make sure that the software that came with your modem is not set to  
receive faxes automatically. Modems that are set up to receive faxes  
automatically take over the phone line to receive all incoming faxes, which  
prevents the device from receiving fax calls.  
If you have an answering machine on the same phone line with the device, you  
might have one of the following problems:  
Your answering machine might not be set up properly with the device.  
Your outgoing message might be too long or too loud to allow the device to  
detect fax tones, and the sending fax machine might disconnect.  
Your answering machine might not have enough quiet time after your  
outgoing message to allow the device to detect fax tones. This problem is  
most common with digital answering machines.  
The following actions might help solve these problems:  
When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for  
fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the device as  
Make sure the device is set to receive faxes automatically. For information

Disconnect the answering machine and then try receiving a fax. If faxing is  
successful without the answering machine, the answering machine might  
be causing the problem.  
Reconnect the answering machine and record your outgoing message  
again. Record a message that is approximately 10 seconds in duration.  
Speak slowly and at a low volume when recording your message. Leave at  
least 5 seconds of silence at the end of the voice message. There should  
be no background noise when recording this silent time. Try to receive a

Solve fax problems  
Chapter 8  
If the device shares the same phone line with other types of phone equipment,  
such as an answering machine, a computer dial-up modem, or a multi-port  
switch box, the fax signal level might be reduced. The signal level can also be  
reduced if you use a splitter or connect extra cables to extend the length of  
your phone. A reduced fax signal can cause problems during fax reception.  
To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything  
except the device from the phone line, and then try to receive a fax. If you can  
receive faxes successfully without the other equipment, one or more pieces of  
the other equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time  
and receiving a fax each time, until you identify which equipment is causing the  
problem.  
If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using a distinctive  
ring service through your telephone company), make sure that the Distinctive  
Ring feature on the device is set to match. For more information, see Change  
The device cannot send faxes, but can receive faxes  
Solution:  
The device might be dialing too fast or too soon. You might need to insert  
some pauses in the number sequence. For example, if you need to access an  
outside line before dialing the phone number, insert a pause following the  
access number. If your number is 95555555, and 9 accesses an outside line,  
you might insert pauses as follows: 9-555-5555. To enter a pause in the fax  
number you are typing, press Redial/Pause, or press the Space (#) button  
repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.  
You can also send the fax using monitor dialing. This enables you to listen to  
the phone line as you dial. You can set the pace of your dialing and respond to  
prompts as you dial. For more information, see Send a fax using monitor dialing.  
The number you entered when sending the fax is not in the proper format or  
the receiving fax machine is having problems. To check this, try calling the fax  
number from a telephone and listen for fax tones. If you cannot hear fax tones,  
the receiving fax machine might not be turned on or connected, or a voice mail  
service could be interfering with the recipient's phone line. You can also ask  
the recipient to check the receiving fax machine for any problems.

machine. If the answering machine and the device are set to the same number  
of rings to answer, both devices answer the call and fax tones are recorded on  
the answering machine.  
Set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the device to answer  
in the maximum number of rings supported. (The maximum number of rings  
varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the  
call and the device monitors the line. If the device detects fax tones, the device  
receives the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the  
incoming message. For more information, see Set the number of rings before  
The phone cord that came with my device is not long enough  
Solution: If the phone cord that came with the device is not long enough, you  
can use a coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler at an  
electronics store that carries phone accessories. You will also need another phone  
cord, which can be a standard phone cord that you might already have in your  
home or office.  
TIP: If the device came with a 2-wire phone cord adaptor, you can use it with  
a 4-wire phone cord to extend the length. For information on using the 2-wire  
phone cord adaptor, see the documentation that came with it.  
To extend your phone cord  
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to  
the coupler, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back  
of the device.  
2. Connect another phone cord to the open port on the coupler and to the  
telephone wall jack.

Notice to users of the U.S. telephone network: FCC requirements  
This equipment complies with FCC rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label that  
contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalent  
Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone  
company.  
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This  
equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using  
a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. This equipment connects to the  
telephone network through the following standard network interface jack: USOC  
RJ-11C.  
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone  
line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices  
on one line might result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not  
all, areas the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the  
number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call  
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.  
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company might  
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance  
notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of  
your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company might make changes  
in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation  
of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so you will have the  
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service. If you experience trouble with this equipment,  
please contact the manufacturer, or look elsewhere in this manual, for warranty or repair  
information. Your telephone company might ask you to disconnect this equipment from the  
network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not  
malfunctioning.  
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

Notice to users of the Canadian telephone network  
Note à l’attention des utilisateurs du réseau téléphonique  
canadien/Notice to users of the Canadian telephone network  
Cet appareil est conforme aux spécifications techniques des équipements terminaux  
d’Industrie Canada. Le numéro d’enregistrement atteste de la conformité de l’appareil.  
L’abréviation IC qui précède le numéro d’enregistrement indique que l’enregistrement a été  
effectué dans le cadre d’une Déclaration de conformité stipulant que les spécifications  
techniques d’Industrie Canada ont été respectées. Néanmoins, cette abréviation ne signifie  
en aucun cas que l’appareil a été validé par Industrie Canada.  
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs doivent s’assurer que les prises électriques reliées  
à la terre de la source d’alimentation, des lignes téléphoniques et du circuit métallique  
d’alimentation en eau sont, le cas échéant, branchées les unes aux autres. Cette précaution  
est particulièrement importante dans les zones rurales.  
Remarque Le numéro REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) attribué à chaque  
appareil terminal fournit une indication sur le nombre maximal de terminaux qui  
peuvent être connectés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une  
interface peut se composer de n’importe quelle combinaison d’appareils, à  
condition que le total des numéros REN ne dépasse pas 5.  
Basé sur les résultats de tests FCC Partie 68, le numéro REN de ce produit est 0.0B.  
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical  
Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation IC before the  
registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of  
Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not  
imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the  
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are  
connected together. This precaution might be particularly important in rural areas.  
Note The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) assigned to each terminal device  
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be  
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface might consist  
of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the  
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.  
The REN for this product is 0.0B, based on FCC Part 68 test results.

Notice to users in the European Economic Area  
This product is designed to be connected to the analog Switched Telecommunication  
Networks (PSTN) of the European Economic Area (EEA) countries/regions.  
Network compatibility depends on customer selected settings, which must be reset to use  
the equipment on a telephone network in a country/region other than where the product  
was purchased. Contact the vendor or Hewlett-Packard Company if additional product  
support is necessary.  
This equipment has been certified by the manufacturer in accordance with Directive  
1999/5/EC (annex II) for Pan-European single-terminal connection to the public switched  
telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs  
provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional  
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.  
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.  
This equipment is designed for DTMF tone dialing and loop disconnect dialing. In the  
unlikely event of problems with loop disconnect dialing, it is recommended to use this
