Device control-panel message types

This section contains the following topics:
Status messages Warning messages
• Error messages
• Critical error messages

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 status message READY appears 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 a low ink warning. These messages appear until you resolve the condition.

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. For more information, see
Support and warranty.

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
and warranty.

Tips for selecting and using print media

For the best results, observe the following guidelines.
Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see

Load media.
20 Use the device
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 output 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.

Print on both sides (duplexing)

You can print on both sides of a sheet of media either manually, or automatically using the duplexer.
NOTE: The printer driver does not support manual duplexing. Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory to be installed on the device.
This section contains the following topics:

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page

Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see
Specify two-sided printing options in your application or in the printer driver.
Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m

). Jams might occur with these media types.
m
Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the device prints the first side of the media first. Load the media with the print side facing down.
For auto-duplexing, when printing finishes on one side of the media, the device holds the media and pauses while the ink dries. Once the ink dries, the media is pulled back into the device and the second side is printed. When printing is complete, the media is dropped onto the output tray. Do not grab it before printing is complete.
You can print on both sides of supported custom-sized media by turning the media over and feeding it into the device again. For more information, see
specifications for supported media.

This section contains the following topics:
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.

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.

Send a fax manually from a phone

Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient before you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are going to send them a fax before sending it. When you send a fax manually, you can hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your telephone. This makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might answer the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the phone, you can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine answers the call, you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the fax tones from the receiving fax machine.
To send a fax manually from a phone
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see
2. Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the device.

• Set new default settings
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.
When you exit the Fax menu, this option returns to the default setting unless you set your changes as the default.

Send a fax in Error Correction Mode

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

Receive a fax

You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer option, you must receive faxes manually. If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the default setting), the device automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes after the number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. (The default Rings to Answer setting is five rings.)
If you receive a legal-size fax and the device is not currently set to use legal-size paper, the device reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled the Automatic Reduction feature, the device prints the fax on two pages.
NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the device memory until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages stored in memory.

Set up backup fax reception

Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the device to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available:
58
On The default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the device
stores all received faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.
NOTE: When device memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the device stops answering incoming fax calls.
NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.
On Error Only Causes the device to store faxes in memory only if an error condition
exists that prevents the device from printing the faxes (for example, if the device runs out of paper). The device continues to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the device stops answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from memory.
Off Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn
off Backup Fax Reception for security purposes. If an error condition occurs that prevents the device from printing (for example, the device runs out of paper), the device stops answering incoming fax calls.
Fax
NOTE: If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and you turn off the device, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received while the device was in an error condition. You must contact the senders to ask them to resend any unprinted faxes. For a list of the faxes you have received, print the Fax Log. The Fax Log is not deleted when the device is turned off.

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

Chapter 7

Set the number of rings before answering

If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are automatically answered.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the device, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the device does. The number of rings to answer for the device should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the device to answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the device monitors the line. If the device detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message.
To set the number of rings before answering via the device control panel
1. Press Setup.
2. Press Basic Fax Setup, and then press Rings to Answer.
3. Enter the appropriate number of rings by using the keypad, or press the left or right
arrow button to change the number of rings.
4. Press OK to accept the setting.

Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring

Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is assigned a different ring pattern. You can set up the device to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
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.

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.
To set the fax error-correction mode
Device control panel: Press Fax Menu, open the Advance Fax Setup menu,
and then use the Error correction mode option.

Set the dial type

Use this procedure to set tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is Tone. Do not change the setting unless you know that your phone line cannot use tone dialing.
NOTE: The pulse-dialing option is not available in all countries/regions.
To set the dial type Device control panel: Press Setup, press Basic Fax Setup, and then use the
Tone or Pulse Dialing option.

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.
To set the redial options Device control panel: Press Setup, press Advance Fax Setup, and then use the
Busy Redial or No Answer Redial options.

Set the fax speed

You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your device and other fax machines when sending and receiving faxes. The default fax speed is Fast.

Chapter 7
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 speed setting Fax speed
Fast v.34 (33600 baud)
Medium v.17 (14400 baud)
Slow v.29 (9600 baud)
To set the fax speed from the device control panel
1. Press Setup.
2. Select Advanced Fax Setup, and then press Fax Speed.
3. Select an option using the arrow keys, and then press OK.

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.
Set the fax speed.

After you run the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Fax Setup Utility (Mac OS), follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.
This section contains the following topics:
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems) Serial-type fax setup

Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)

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

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

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.

2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to the
open port on the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1­LINE on the back of the device.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL 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.
As only one phone cord is supplied, you may will need to obtain additional phone cords for this setup.
3. Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.
4. Run a fax test.
88 Configure and manage
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.

2. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3. Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone
company assigned to your fax number.
NOTE: By default, the device is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the device might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.
4. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5. Run a fax test.
The device automatically answers incoming calls that have the ring pattern you selected (Distinctive Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to Answer setting). The device begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.

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.
