12Use the device
Status messages
Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal

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.

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.
Understand specifications for supported media
Use the Understand supported sizes and Understand supported media types and
weights tables to determine the correct media to use with your device, and determine

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 NoConnection 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.

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/

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.

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

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.

Change the fax resolution
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.
•The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.
•You will no longer be able to send or receive faxes in color.

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.

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.

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
or
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.

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 errorcorrection 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.

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 busyredial 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.

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
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
1. Set up the device for faxing according to your particular home or office setup
instructions.
2. Make sure the ink cartridges are installed, and that full-size paper is loaded in the
main tray before starting the test.
3. From the device control panel, press Setup.
4. Press right arrow

6. Review the report.
•If the test passes and you are still having problems faxing, check the fax
settings listed in the report to verify the settings are correct. A blank or
incorrect fax setting can cause problems faxing.
•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 require printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, follow these
instructions to enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes. Select either On FaxSend or Send & Receive.
The default fax confirmation setting is Off. This means that a confirmation report is not
printed for each fax sent or received. A confirmation message indicating whether a fax
was successfully sent appears briefly on the control-panel display after each

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

To set up the device with a distinctive ring service
1. 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.
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 toAnswer 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.

Case G: Fax line shared with computer modem (no voice calls received)
If you have a fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you also have a
computer modem connected on this line, set up the device as described in this section.
NOTE: If you have a computer dial-up modem, your computer dial-up modem
shares the phone line with the device. You will not be able to use both your modem
and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the device for faxing
