recommended papers  
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends HP papers. Using paper that  
is too thin, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause  
paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can  
cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely. For more  
information about HP Premium Inkjet papers, go to the HP website:  
www.hp.com/support  
load other types of paper in the input tray  
The following table provides guidelines for loading certain types of paper and

tips  
HP Premium Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting side  
HP papers  
of the paper, and then insert paper with the arrow side facing up.  
HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the  
white transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on top  
and is going into the input tray first.  
HP Iron-On Transfer: Flatten the transfer sheet completely before  
using it; do not load curled sheets. (To prevent curling, keep  
transfer sheets sealed in the original package until you are ready  
to use them.) Manually feed one sheet at a time, with the  
unprinted side facing down (the blue stripe faces up).

tips  
Always use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with  
HP inkjet products (such as Avery Inkjet Labels), and make sure  
that the labels are not over two years old.  
Labels  
(work only with  
printing)  
Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are  
sticking together.  
Place a stack of label sheets on top of standard paper in the input  
tray, print side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.  
Continuous (banner) Continuous banner paper is also known as computer or z-fold paper.  
paper  
(works only with  
printing)  
Before loading banner paper, remove all other paper from the  
input tray, then remove the output tray. Leave the output tray off  
of the HP PSC while the banner prints to prevent the continuous  
banner paper from tearing.  
Remove the output  
tray.  
Insert the  
unattached edge of  
the paper into the  
input tray.  
If you use non-HP banner paper, use 20-lb. paper and fan the  
paper before loading it.  
Verify that the stack of banner paper contains at least five pages  
in the stack.  
Carefully tear off the perforated edge strips from both sides of the  
paper stack, if any, and unfold and refold the paper to make sure  
the pages do not stick together.  
Put the paper in the input tray so that the unattached edge is at  
the top of the stack. Insert the first edge into the input tray until it  
stops, as shown in the illustration above.

The HP PSC can access the memory cards used in almost any digital camera so  
you can print, store, manage, and share your digital photos in some very exciting  
ways.  
This section contains the following topics:

what is a memory card?  
If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the  
memory card in your HP PSC to print or save your photos.  
You can print a proof sheet, which might be several pages long and shows  
thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card, and print photos from the  
memory card, even if your HP PSC is not connected to a computer.  
Your HP PSC can read CompactFlash (I, II), Memory Sticks, MultiMediaCard  
(MMC), Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD memory cards.  
Note: You can scan a document and send the scanned image to an  
inserted memory card. See send the scan to a memory card loaded in your  
hp psc on page 53 for details.  
Your HP PSC features four slots for memory cards, shown in the illustration on  
the next page, with the memory cards that correspond to each slot.  
21  
chapter 3  
The slots are configured as follows:  
Top left slot: CompactFlash (I, II)  
Top right slot: Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC)  
Bottom left slot: SmartMedia, xD (fits in top right of the slot)  
Bottom right slot: Memory Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick  
Duo (with user-supplied adapter), Memory Stick Pro  
Warning! By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or  
less and 64 MB or more with the FAT32 format. Digital cameras and other  
devices use the FAT (FAT16 or FAT12) format and cannot operate with a  
FAT32 formatted card. Either format your card in your camera or select FAT  
format to format your card in a Windows XP PC.  
insert a memory card and save the files to your computer  
After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately  
or save them directly to your computer.  
Note: You can only use one memory card in your HP PSC at a time.  
1
Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP PSC.  
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Photo button on the front  
panel begins to blink.  
If you insert a memory card backwards, the LED next to the card slots  
blinks amber and the color graphics display might display an error  
message such as “Card is in backwards” or “Card is not fully inserted.”  
2
Reading photos... appears on the color graphics display. The LED next to  
the card slots blinks green when the card is being accessed.  
Warning! Never attempt to remove a memory card while it is being  
accessed. Doing so can damage files on the card. You can safely remove  
a card only when the LED next to the slots remains on and is not blinking.

If there are photo files on the card that have never been transferred  
before, a pop-up on your computer asks you whether you want to save the  
photo files to your computer.  
Click the option to save.  
This saves all the new photos from the memory card to your computer by  
using the HP PSC software.  
Note: You can also use the front panel to transfer memory card files to an  
attached computer. Press Photo, and then 8 to choose Transfer to computer.  
Follow the prompts on the computer. In addition, the memory card appears  
as a drive on your computer. You can go to your computer and simply  
move the photo files from the memory card “drive” to the desktop.  
For Windows: by default, files are saved in month and year folders  
depending on when the photos were taken. The folders are created under  
the C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Pictures  
folder in Windows XP and Windows 2000.  
For Macintosh: by default, files are saved to the computer at the location  
Hard Drive:Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos folder (OS 9) or Hard  
Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos folder (OS X).  
If there are no new files, when the HP PSC finishes reading the card, the  
Photo button stops blinking and stays on. The LED next to the card slots  
remains on. The first photo on the card appears on the color graphics  
display.  
To navigate through the photos on the card, press

Tip: You can optimize the quality of the photos you print with  
your HP PSC by purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the  
black print cartridge and insert the photo print cartridge in its  
place. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge  
installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced  
quality photos. When you want to print regular text documents,  
swap the black print cartridge back in.  
For more information, see order supplies on page 77.  
Do you want to do more than just print your photos? You can enhance and edit  
digital photos before printing them by using the HP Image Editor available  
through the HP Director. Just start the HP Director and click HP Gallery. Select

print a DPOF file  
The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be  
created by some digital cameras. Camera-selected photos are photos you  
marked for printing with your digital camera. When you select photos with your  
camera, the camera creates a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) file that  
identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your HP PSC can read  
the DPOF file from the memory card so you do not have to reselect the photos  
to print.  
Note: Not all digital cameras allow you to tag your photos for printing. See  
your digital camera documentation to see if it supports Digital Print Order  
Format (DPOF). Your HP PSC supports DPOF file format 1.1.  
When you print camera-selected photos, the HP PSC print settings do not apply;  
the settings in the DPOF file for photo layout and number of copies override  
those of your HP PSC.  
The DPOF file is stored by the digital camera on a memory card and specifies  
the following information:

increase copy speed or quality  
The HP PSC provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.  
Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for  
most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.  
Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding  
(striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies more  
slowly than the other quality settings.  
Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is of comparable quality  
to the Normal setting, but the graphics might be of lower quality. Using  
Fast cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges, because  
it uses less ink.

Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format  
for your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles,  
text documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch  
the glass.  
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it  
into your word processor or graphics application and modify it to suit your  
needs. You can do the following:  
Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report,  
saving you a lot of retyping.  
Scan a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to print  
business cards and brochures for yourself.  
Scan photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a  
photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic  
scrapbook.  
To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer must be connected and  
turned on. The HP PSC software must also be installed and running on your  
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP PSC software is running on a  
Windows PC, look for the hp psc 2400 series icon in the system tray at the lower  
right side of the screen, next to the time. On a Macintosh, the HP PSC software  
is always running.  
You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP PSC. This section  
explains how to scan from the front panel of the HP PSC only.  
For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize,  
rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen hp photo & imaging help

The HP Gallery has many tools that you can use to edit your scanned image.  
You can improve the overall image quality by adjusting the brightness,  
sharpness, color tone, or saturation. You can also crop, straighten, rotate, or  
resize the image. When the scanned image looks just the way you want it,  
you can open it in another application, send it via e-mail, save it to a file, or

faxes unless you have selected No Answer for the Rings to Answer setting. For  
more information on Rings to Answer, see set number of rings before answering  
on page 59.  
If you receive a legal-size fax and your HP PSC is not currently set to use legal-  
size paper, the device automatically reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper  
that is loaded. If you have disabled the automatic-reduction feature, the fax will  
be printed on two pages. For more information, see set automatic reduction for  
incoming faxes on page 68.  
If you have an answering machine connected to the same line as your HP PSC,  
you might need to set the number of rings required before the HP PSC begins  
receiving the fax. The default number of rings before the HP PSC receives a fax  
is 6 (varies by country/region). For more information on setting the number of  
rings to answer, see set number of rings before answering on page 59.  
You might also want to set up your HP PSC to answer fax calls manually if you

For information on setting up your HP PSC with other office equipment, such as  
answering machines and voice mail, see fax setup on page 115.

answer for the HP PSC should be greater than the number of rings to  
answer for the answering machine.  
You want the answering machine to answer before your HP PSC. The  
HP PSC monitors calls and will answer if it detects fax tones.

For information on setting up your HP PSC with other office equipment, such as  
answering machines and voice mail, see fax setup on page 115.  
set up your hp psc to answer fax calls manually  
In certain situations, you might want to receive faxes manually. For example, if  
you share a line between your HP PSC and phone and you do not have  
distinctive ringing, you will need to set up the HP PSC to answer fax calls  
manually. This is because the HP PSC will not be able to distinguish between  
fax calls and phone calls. When receiving faxes manually, you must be  
available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP PSC cannot  
receive faxes. For more information on receiving faxes manually, see receive a  
fax manually on page 61.

use error correction mode (ECM)  
ECM eliminates data lost 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. Turn ECM off (the  
default setting is on) only if it increases phone charges substantially and you are  
willing to accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.

using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a  
damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.  
clean the exterior  
Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains  
off the case. The interior of the HP PSC does not require cleaning. Keep fluids  
away from the interior of the device as well as the front panel.

Check the Self-Test Report for the following:  
The test patterns are even and show a complete grid. If the grids are  
not complete, this might indicate a problem with the nozzles. You might  
need to clean the print cartridges. For more information, see clean the  
print cartridges on page 87.  
The Low Ink warning message value. The value will appear above the  
test pattern for the black, photo (if applicable), or tri-color print  
cartridges. This value represents the number of Low Ink warning  
messages that have displayed for each of the print cartridges. If the  
value displays 1, 2, or 3, the print cartridge might be low on ink. You  
might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information on  
replacing print cartridges, see replace the print cartridges on page 83.  
The lines of color extend across the page.  
The color blocks have even consistency. You should see cyan, magenta,  
yellow, violet, green, and red color blocks. If color blocks are missing,  
this might indicate that the tri-color print cartridge is out of ink. You  
might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information on  
replacing print cartridges, see replace the print cartridges on page 83.  
Also check for streaking or white lines. Streaks might indicate clogged  
nozzles or dirty contacts. You might need to clean the print cartridges.  
For more information on cleaning the print cartridges, see clean the  
print cartridges on page 87. Do not clean with alcohol.

use a photo print cartridge  
You can optimize the quality of the photos you print with your HP PSC by  
purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the black print cartridge and insert  
the photo print cartridge in its place. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo  
print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced  
quality photos. When you want to print regular text documents, swap the black  
print cartridge back in. Use a print cartridge protector to keep your print  
cartridge secure when it is not being used. For more information on using the  
print cartridge protector, see use the print cartridge protector on page 85 and  
for more information on replacing print cartridges, see replace the print  
cartridges on page 83.  
For more information on purchasing a photo print cartridge, see order print  
cartridges on page 77.  
use the print cartridge protector  
When you purchase a photo print cartridge, you will receive a print cartridge  
protector.  
The print cartridge protector is designed to keep your print cartridge secure  
when it is not being used. It also prevents the ink from drying out. Whenever  
you remove a print cartridge from the HP PSC, store it in the print cartridge  
protector.  
`
To insert a print cartridge into the print cartridge protector, slide the print  
cartridge into the print cartridge protector at a slight angle and snap it  
securely into place.

The following information specifies the HP limited global warranty.  
This section contains the following topics:  
extent of limited warranty on page 98  
limitations of warranty on page 99  
limitations of liability on page 99  
local law on page 99  
limited warranty information for EU countries on page 100  
extent of limited warranty  
Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) warrants to the end-user customer (“Customer”) that each HP PSC  
2400 Series product (“Product”), including related software, accessories, media, and  
supplies, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration, which  
begins on the date of purchase by the Customer.  
For each hardware Product, the duration of HP’s limited warranty is one year for parts  
and one year for labor. For all other Products, the duration of HP’s limited warranty for  
both parts and labor is ninety days.  
For each software Product, HP’s limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute  
programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any Product shall be  
uninterrupted or error free.  
HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of a  
Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result of  
(a) improper maintenance or modification, (b) software, accessories, media, or supplies  
not provided or supported by HP, or (c) operation outside the Product’s specifications.  
For any hardware Product, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does  
not affect either the warranty to the Customer or any HP support contract with the Customer.  
However, if Product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink  
cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service the Product  
for the failure or damage.  
If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product,  
HP shall either repair or replace the defective Product, at HP’s option. Where labor charges  
are not covered by HP’s limited warranty, repairs shall be at HP’s standard charges for  
labor.  
If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective Product which is covered by  
HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund  
the purchase price for the Product.  
HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the Customer returns the  
defective Product to HP.  
Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality  
at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.  
HP products, including each Product, may contain remanufactured parts, components, or  
materials equivalent to new in performance.

hp psc 2400 series  
warranty information  
HP’s limited warranty for each Product is valid in any country/region or locality where HP  
has a support presence for the Product and where HP has marketed the Product. The level  
of warranty service may vary according to local standards. HP shall have no obligation to  
alter the form, fit, or function of the Product in order to make it operate in a country/region  
or locality for which the Product was never intended to operate.

OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
local law  
This Limited Warranty Statement gives the Customer specific legal rights. The Customer may  
also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to  
province in Canada, and from country/region to country/region elsewhere in the world.  
To the extent this Limited Warranty Statement is inconsistent with local law, this Statement  
shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under such local law,  
certain disclaimers and limitations of this Statement may not apply to the Customer. For  
example, some states in the United States, as well as some governments outside the United  
States (including provinces in Canada), may:  
Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Statement from limiting the statutory rights  
of a consumer (e.g. the United Kingdom);  
Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or limitations; or  
Grant the Customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied warranties  
which the manufacturer cannot disclaim, or not allow limitations on the duration of implied  
warranties.  
FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, THE TERMS  
IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY  
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY, AND ARE IN ADDITION TO,

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.  
reference guide  
109  
chapter 12  
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 may 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 may  
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 may 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 may  
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.  
Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact your state’s public utility  
commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for more information.  
This equipment includes automatic dialing capability. When programming and/or making  
test calls to emergency numbers:  
Remain on the line and explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.  
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.  
Note: The FCC hearing aid compatibility rules for telephones are not applicable to  
this equipment.

a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message unless  
such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page  
or on the first page of transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the  
business, other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number  
of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number  
provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local  
or long-distance transmission charges.) In order to program this information into your fax  
machine, you should complete the steps described in the software.

how to choose the right fax setup for your office  
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if  
any) share the same telephone line with your HP PSC. This is important because  
you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to  
your HP PSC, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you  
can fax successfully.  
To determine the best way to set up the HP PSC in your 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.  
Be sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are  
presented.  
1
Do you subscribe to a distinctive ringing service through your phone  
company that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring  
patterns?  
Yes, I have distinctive ring.  
No.  
If you answered “Yes,” proceed directly to case B: faxing with a distinctive  
ring service on the same line on page 119. You do not need to continue  
answering questions.  
If you answered “No,” please continue answering questions.  
Not sure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a  
distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have several phone numbers  
on one phone line.  
116  
hp psc 2400 series  
fax setup  
When you subscribe to this service, each number will have a different ring  
pattern, for example, single, double, and triple rings. 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—and  
your HP PSC—to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the  
phone rings.  
2
3
Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax  
calls on your HP PSC?  
Yes, I receive voice calls.  
No.  
Please continue answering questions.  
Do you have a PC modem on the same telephone line as your HP PSC?  
Yes, I have a PC modem.  
No.  
Here is how to determine if you have a PC modem. If you answer “yes” to  
any of the following questions, you are using a PC modem:  
Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer  
programs via dial-up connection?  
Do you use e-mail on your computer via dial-up connection?  
Do you access the Internet from your computer via dial-up connection?  
Please continue answering questions.  
4
5
Do you have an answering machine that answers voice calls at the same  
phone number you will use for fax calls on your HP PSC?  
Yes, I have an answering machine.  
No.  
Please continue answering questions.  
Do you subscribe to a voicemail service through your phone company at  
the same phone number you will use for fax calls on your HP PSC?  
Yes, I have a voicemail service.  
No.  
Please continue answering questions.  
6
Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) through your phone company?  
Yes, I have a DSL line.  
No.  
If you answered “Yes,” you will need to connect a DSL filter between your  
telephone wall jack and your HP PSC.  
First select and connect a fax setup case according to your answers to the  
previous questions, and then see faxing from a DSL line on page 130 for  
instructions on how to connect the DSL filter.  
Caution! If you have a DSL line and you do not connect a DSL  
filter, you will not be able to send and receive faxes with your  
HP PSC.

Now you need to decide how you want to answer fax calls: automatically or  
manually.  
how to answer fax calls automatically  
The HP PSC is factory-set to answer all calls automatically after 5 rings, so you  
do not need to change any settings if you want to automatically receive faxes.  
Your HP PSC will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this  
case, however, so if you suspect a voice call is incoming, you will need to  
answer it before the 5th ring or the HP PSC will answer first.  
Note: If you pick up the phone before the 5th ring and hear fax tones from  
a sending fax machine, you will need to manually answer the fax call. For  
information on how to receive fax calls manually from your attached phone  
and from an extension phone, see receive a fax manually on page 61.

section.  
Note: Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your HP PSC,  
you will not be able to use both simultaneously. For example, while you are

Make sure you connected the HP PSC from the port labeled  
“1-LINE” to your telephone wall jack using the phone cord  
supplied in the box with your HP PSC.* This special 2-wire cord is  
different from the more common 4-wire cords you might already  
have in your office. Check the end of the cord and compare it to  
the two types of cords shown below:

If you used the 4-wire cord, disconnect it, find the supplied 2-wire  
cord, and then connect the 2-wire cord to the HP PSC (at the port  
labeled “1-LINE”). For more information on how to connect this  
cord, refer to fax setup on page 115.  
* This possible cause/solution applies only in the countries/regions that  
receive a 2-wire phone cord in the box with the HP PSC, including:  
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Greece,  
India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latin America, Malaysia, Mexico,  
Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain,  
Taiwan, Thailand, USA, Venezuela, and Vietnam.  
Note: If the 2-wire cord is not long enough and you need to extend  
it, you might want to purchase a telephone cord extension  
connector. Attach the 2-wire cord from the HP PSC to one end of the  
extension connector, and then attach a 4-wire cord from the other  
end of the connector to the telephone wall jack.  
Make sure you have correctly connected the HP PSC to the  
telephone wall jack, and correctly connected any additional  
equipment and services that share the phone line with your  
HP PSC.  
Use the 1-LINE port on the back of the HP PSC to connect to the  
wall jack, and use the 2-EXT port to connect any other equipment,  
such as a PC modem or an answering machine. For more  
information and connection diagrams, see fax setup on page 115.

chapter 15  
problem  
possible cause and solution  
Using a telephone line splitter might cause faxing problems. Try  
removing the splitter and connecting the HP PSC directly to the  
telephone wall jack.  
Check that the telephone wall jack has a working telephone line by  
plugging in a phone and checking for a dial tone.  
Telephone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing  
problems. Check the sound quality of the telephone line by  
plugging a phone into the wall jack and listening for static or other  
noise. If you hear noise, turn off the Error Correction Mode (ECM)  
feature on your HP PSC and try faxing again. For information, see  
use error correction mode (ECM) on page 68. Also contact your  
phone company to report the noise problem on your line.  
I have difficulties  
when sending faxes  
and when receiving

(continued)  
Other equipment using the same telephone line as the HP PSC  
might be in use. For example, you cannot use your HP PSC for  
faxing if an extension phone is off-hook, or if you are using your  
PC modem to e-mail or access the Internet.  
If you are using a digital subscribe line (DSL), make sure that you  
have a DSL filter connected or you will not be able to fax  
successfully. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider. The DSL  
filter removes the digital signal that blocks your HP PSC from  
communicating properly with the telephone line. For information  
on how to connect the DSL filter, see faxing from a DSL line on  
page 130.  
Check for error messages on the front panel of your HP PSC. Until  
a product error condition is resolved, you will not be able to send  
or receive faxes. For information on resolving error conditions, see  
the Error Messages section of the hp psc 2400/2500 series  
troubleshooting section in the onscreen hp photo & imaging help.  
If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter, make sure the  
HP PSC is connected to the port that is designated for fax and  
phone use.  
Note that 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 for multiple  
purposes. If you continue to have problems when connected to the  
fax/phone port, try using the port designated for multiple purposes  
(might be labeled “multi-combi” or something similar).  
The Rings to Answer feature might not be set to answer after the  
appropriate number of rings for your office setup. For more  
information, see how to choose the right fax setup for your office  
on page 116.  
If you have a voicemail service at the same phone number you use  
for fax calls, you must receive faxes manually, not automatically.  
For information on setting up for faxing when you have a voicemail  
service, see fax setup on page 115. For information on how to  
receive faxes manually, see set up your hp psc to answer fax calls  
manually on page 60.

If you have a PC modem on the same phone line with your  
I cannot receive

HP PSC, check to make sure that the modem’s software is not set to  
receive faxes automatically. Modems with this auto fax receive  
feature turned on will take over the phone line to receive all  
incoming faxes, which will prevent the HP PSC from receiving fax  
calls.  
(continued)  
If you have an answering machine on the same phone line with  
your HP PSC, you might have one of the following problems:  
Your outgoing message might be too long or too loud to allow  
the HP PSC to detect fax tones, which could cause the calling  
fax machine to disconnect.  
Your answering machine might not have enough quiet time  
after your outgoing message to allow the HP PSC to detect fax  
tones. This problem is more common with digital answering  
machines.  
The following actions might help solve these problems:  
a. Disconnect the answering machine and then try receiving a  
fax. If faxing is successful without it, the answering machine  
might be causing the problem.  
b. Reconnect the answering machine and re-record your outgoing  
message. Make sure the message is as short as possible (no  
more than 10 seconds long), and that you speak softly and  
slowly when recording it. Try again to receive a fax.  
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 Answer Ring Pattern feature on your HP PSC is set to  
match. For example, if the phone company has assigned your fax  
number a double ring pattern, make sure Double Rings is selected  
as the Answer Ring Pattern setting. For information on changing  
this setting, see change the answer ring pattern (distinctive ringing)  
on page 68.  
Note that some ring patterns cannot be recognized by the HP PSC,  
such as those with alternating short and long ringing patterns. If  
you are having problems with a ring pattern of this type, ask your  
phone company to assign a non-alternating ring pattern.  
If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to make sure  
that the Answer Ring Pattern feature on your HP PSC is set to All  
Rings. For information, see change the answer ring pattern  
(distinctive ringing) on page 68.

problem  
possible cause and solution  
If your HP PSC shares the same phone line with other types of  
phone equipment—such as an answering machine or a PC  
modem—the fax signal level might be reduced, causing fax  
reception problems.  
I cannot receive  
faxes, but I can send  
faxes  
(continued)  
To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect  
everything except the HP PSC from the phone line, and then try to  
receive a fax. If fax reception is successful without the equipment,  
then one or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try  
adding them back one at a time and faxing, until you identify  
which equipment is causing the problem.  
If you are using speed dial to dial the fax number, the HP PSC  
might be dialing too fast or too soon. Try re-creating the speed dial  
entry and inserting some pauses. For information, see create speed-  
dial entries on page 64.  
I cannot send faxes,  
but I can receive  
faxes  
If your telephone line has a PBX system, make sure you are dialing  
the number for an outside line before dialing the fax number.  
The receiving fax machine might be 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 might not be  
turned on or connected, or a voicemail service could be interfering  
with the recipient’s phone line.  
When you have an answering machine on the same phone line  
you use for fax calls, you must connect the answering machine  
directly to the HP PSC (or through a directly-connected PC modem,  
if applicable) as described in fax setup on page 115. If you do not  
connect it as recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your  
answering machine.  
Fax tones are

If you did not connect the HP PSC from the port labeled “1-LINE” to  
your telephone wall jack using the phone cord supplied in the box  
with your HP PSC, you might hear static on your phone line and  
you might not be able to fax successfully.* This special 2-wire cord  
is different from the more common 4-wire cords you might already
