• Error messages
• Critical error messages
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

Chapter 2
Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for
supported media.
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.

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 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 Scan from a WIA-compliant program

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.

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 Edit a scanned document using optical character recognition (OCR) software

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.

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.

The Resolution setting affects the transmission speed and quality of faxed black-and­white 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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
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.
Set the fax speed.
To test fax setup

If the test fails, review the report for more information on how to fix any problems found.

Use reports

You can set up the device to print error reports and confirmation reports automatically for each fax you send and receive. You can also manually print system reports as required; these reports provide useful system information about the device.
By default, the device is set to print a report only if there is a problem sending or receiving a fax. A confirmation message that indicates whether a fax was successfully sent appears briefly on the control-panel display after each transaction.

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.

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.

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 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 "multi­combi" 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.

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.

To set up the device on the same phone line as a computer with one phone port
1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP 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. Unplug your 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 might not be able to receive faxes with the device.

4. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP 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 HP 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. (Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.
NOTE: If your answering machine does not let you connect an external phone, you can purchase and use a parallel splitter (also known as a coupler) to connect both the answering machine and telephone to the device. You can use standard phone cords for these connections.
6. 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.
7. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
8. Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
9. Change the Rings to Answer setting on the HP device to the maximum number of
rings supported by your HP device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.)
10. Run a fax test.
NOTE: If you are using a computer with two telephone ports, you do not need
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.

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.

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.)
