Prints a thumbnail image of the fax on the Fax Confirmation page, if enabled.
If the fit-to-page option is turned on, the product automatically reduces long faxes up to 75% to fit the information on the default paper size (for example, the fax is reduced from legal to letter size).
If the fit-to-page option is turned off, long faxes print at full size on multiple pages. The factory-set default for incoming fax auto reduction is On.
If you have the stamp-received faxes option turned on, you might also want to turn on auto reduction. This reduces the size of the incoming faxes slightly, and prevents the page-stamp from forcing a fax onto two pages.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to virtually any HP Officejet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing, so you do not need to enable them manually.
For more information, go to
UPD installation modes
Traditional mode
Dynamic mode
www.hp.com/go/upd.
Use this mode if you are installing the driver for a single computer. See
www.hp.com/go/upd.
When installed in Traditional mode, UPD operates like a discrete printer
driver. It operates with a specific product.
If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each computer and
for each product.
To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See
upd.
Dynamic mode allows you to use a single driver installation, so you can
discover and print to HP products in any location.
Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup or to have convenient
access to a fleet of printers for individual users.

Solve issues with supplies

Check the ink cartridges

If you are experiencing print quality problems, see Improve print quality on page 236.
NOTE: If you are using a General Office print setting, the printing might appear light.
If you determine that you need to replace an ink cartridge, look on the cartridge or print the Supplies Status Page to find the part number for the correct genuine HP ink cartridge.
Refilled or remanufactured ink cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. If you are using a refilled or remanufactured ink cartridge and are not satisfied with the print quality, replace the cartridge with a genuine HP cartridge.
NOTE: If you replace a non-HP ink cartridge with a genuine HP ink cartridge, the printhead may still
contain non-HP ink until the printhead is depleted of that ink and is supplied with ink from the newly installed, genuine HP ink cartridge.
Interpret the Print Quality Page
1.
On the control panel, touch the Setup
2. Touch the Print Reports menu.
3. Select the Print Quality Report item to print it.
4. Follow the instructions on the page that prints.
This page contains four bands of color, which are divided into the groups as indicated in the following illustration. By examining each group, you can isolate the problem to a particular ink cartridge.

If dots or streaks appear in one or more groups, clean the printhead. If this does not solve the
problem, contact HP.
If streaks appear in multiple color bands, see if the problem still persists by performing an
additional print head cleaning, and then contact HP. A component other than the ink cartridge is probably causing the problem.
