This chapter provides instructions for setting up the fax in a number of different setup configurations.

Using a dedicated phone line

Using a shared phone line

Managing and configuring the fax

Configuring the answer mode

Configuring rings to answer

Changing the answer ring pattern for distinctive ringing

Setting the fax header

Testing the fax setup

For more information about fax features, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

CAUTION: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your 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. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD for information.

Parallelvs. serial-type phone systems

Before you begin setting up the device for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/ region uses.

NOTE: The instructions for fax setup differ depending on whether you have a serialor parallel-type phone system.

If you do not see your country/region listed in the following sections, you probably have a serial-type phone system. If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your telephone company.

Countries/regions with paralleltype phone systems

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.

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

Vietnam

 

 

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.

Countries/regions with serial-type phone systems

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.

Dedicated phone line

Use this section if you plan on using the following type of phone line for the fax:

Dedicated phone line (no other devices, such as a phone or answering machine, share the line).

Dedicated phone line without devices sharing the line but with a subscription to a distinctive ring service.

Private Branch Exchange (PBX) or an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line. For more information about PBX and ISDN lines, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

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.

Set up the device to answer incoming calls manually. Press the Auto Answer button until the light is off.

1.Unplug any telephone devices from the phone jack where you are connecting the device.

2.Connect the phone cord that came with the device between the 1-LINE port on the device and the phone jack.

1-LINE

3.If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service, change the Answer Ring Pattern setting to the pattern that has been assigned to your fax number by the telephone company, for example, double rings or triple rings.

For information on changing this setting, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

NOTE: Your device is factory-set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the correct ring pattern assigned to your fax number by the telephone company, your device might answer both voice calls and fax calls, or it might not answer at all.

Shared phone line

If the fax is going to share the phone line with other devices, such as a phone, answering machine, computer/computer modem, or caller ID box, or if you have voicemail service included with your line, you must follow these instructions to determine how to set up your fax.

1.Follow the steps for the “Dedicated phone line” on page 10.

2.Plug additional devices into the 2-EXT port on the back of the device.

2-EXT

3.Use the following tables to determine the rest of your fax configuration.

10 Set up the fax (optional)

Use the fax setup tables

Use the fax setup tables to assist you in setting up the fax function on your device. To use the tables, follow these steps:

Determine how you will use the phone line that your fax machine will be using:

Voice and Fax (see Table 3-1)

Voice, Fax, and Internet (dial-up) (see Table 3-3)

Fax and Internet (see Table 3-2)

Voice, Fax, and Internet (DSL) (see Table 3-4)

Once you determine how you want to use the phone line, follow these steps:

In the first row, determine what other devices will share the phone line with the all-in-one (phone, computer, answering machine).

In the next rows, determine if the phone line has any special services (voicemail or distinctive ring), and, if the phone line will be used with a computer, determine if you have a dial-up or DSL modem.

The next row provides an example of what your fax setup might look like in terms of how to connect various devices to the all-in-one.

In the last row of the table are numbers that correspond to the Configuration guideline table on page 13. Use the Configuration guideline table to help you set up your all-in-one so that it operates the most effectively based on the way your all-in-one is set up.

NOTE: You must follow the numbers as they appear in the last row of each fax setup table. Performing the steps out of sequence may result in fax setup problems.

When the phone rings, your device will answer automatically after the number of rings you set in the

 

 

Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and

 

 

receive the fax.

 

 

 

 

7

Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.

 

(Answering machine)

Change the Rings to Answer setting on your device to six rings.

 

 

When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and

 

 

then play your recorded greeting. The device monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax tones.

 

 

If incoming fax tones are detected, the device will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there

 

 

are no fax tones, the device stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice

 

 

message.

10There are two different ways to set up your device with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. You also need additional phone cords (at least three if your computer has only one phone port and at least two if your computer has two phone ports).

Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports:

Computer with one phone port

If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler). 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. You can purchase a parallel splitter from an electronics store that carries phone accessories.

1.Connect one end of the phone cord that came with the device to the wall jack and the other end to the 1-LINE port on the device.

2.Connect one end of a second phone cord to the 2-EXT port on the device and the other end to the front of the parallel splitter (the end with the single phone port).

3.Connect one end of a third phone cord to the back of the parallel splitter (the end with two phone ports) and the other end to the computer.

4.Connect one end of a fourth phone cord to the last open port on the parallel splitter and the other end to a telephone or answering machine. If you are connecting both a telephone and answering machine, connect the fourth phone cord to the answering machine, and then use a fifth phone cord to connect the answering machine to the telephone.

NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with your device.

Computer with two phone ports

If your computer has two phone ports, complete the following steps to connect the device to the computer:

1.Connect one end of the phone cord that came with the device to the wall jack and the other end to the 1-LINE port on the device.

2.Connect one end of a second phone cord to the 2-EXT port on the device and the other end to the IN port on the computer.

3.Connect one end of a third phone cord to the OUT port on the computer and the other end to a telephone or answering machine. If you are connecting both a telephone and answering machine, connect the third phone cord to the answering machine, and then connect the answering machine to the telephone.

NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with your device.

14 Set up the fax (optional)

Managing and configuring fax settings

If you are connecting the device directly to a computer, install the device software, and then run the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Device Manager (Mac OS). You can also launch these tools from Solution Center (Windows) or HP Device Manager (Mac OS) at a later time. Use these tools to set the fax header, country/ region, and date and time.

In addition, you can configure the fax settings from the embedded Web server (EWS). For information on the EWS, see page 28.

You can also configure these settings from the control panel. For information on the control panel, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

Set up speed-dial entries

You can store fax numbers or groups of fax numbers as speed-dial entries. Speed-dial entries 1 through 5 are associated with the corresponding five speed-dial buttons on the control panel. This lets you dial those numbers quickly by using the control panel.

In addition to using the control panel, you can also set up speed-dial entries using the embedded Web server and the HP Photosmart software. For information,

see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

To set up speed-dial entries

1.From the control panel, press Setup.

2.Select Speed Dial Setup and do one of the following:

To add or change an entry: Select Individual Speed Dial or Group Speed Dial and press the arrow keys to move to an unused entry number, or type a number on the keypad. Type the fax number, and then press OK. Include any pauses or other required numbers, such as an area code, an access code for numbers outside a PBX system (usually a 9 or 0), or a long-distance prefix. Type the name using the numeric keypad, and then press OK.

To delete one entry or all entries: Select Delete Speed Dial and press the arrow keys to move to the speed-dial entry that you want to delete, and then press OK.

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. For additional troubleshooting information, see “Solving fax problems (optional)” on page 26.

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 and printheads are installed, and that full-size paper is loaded in the input tray before starting the test.

3.From the control panel, press Setup.

4.Select Tools, and then select Run Fax Test.

The device displays the status of the test on the display and prints a report.

5.Review the report.

4Set up Direct Digital Filing for scanning (optional)

The Direct Digital Filing feature allows you to scan documents directly to multiple shared folders (up to 10) on your network. With Direct Digital Filing, you do not need any scanning software. Also, you do not need to scan files from your computer and then transfer them to the designated network folder.

NOTE: The Direct Digital Filing feature is available with HP Officejet L7600/L7700 all-in-one models that are connected directly to the network either through a wireless connection or with an Ethernet cable.

NOTE: Direct Digital Filing does not support Windows Active Directory.

Required information

To set up Direct Digital Filing, you need the following information:

The IP address assigned to the all-in-one.

When you press the Digital Filing button on the all-in- one control panel for the first time, the IP address is listed at the end of the instructions that appear on the display.

Appropriate privileges on the network.

You must be able to create a folder and change the access permissions for the folder.

The name of the computer where the folder is located.

Direct Digital Filing...

in action!

Recently, a small graphic design firm started to manage their invoices, contracts, and expense reports electronically using Direct Digital Filing. Now, instead of filing invoices and other documents, the office manager uses the all-in-one to create an electronic copy that is automatically stored on a computer on the office network.

Setting it up…

The office manager asked one of the office's IT-savvy employees to set up Direct Digital Filing.

First, the IT-savvy employee created three separate folders (named "Invoices", "Contracts", and "Expense Reports") on the computer that would be used to store the documents.

Then, he changed the access permissions on these folders so that the all- in-one could save the files to the appropriate directories.

16 Set up Direct Digital Filing for scanning (optional)

For information about finding the computer name, see the documentation for your operating system.

The network address for the folder.

Network addresses are usually written in this format: \\mypc\sharedfolder

A username and password for the network.

For example, the Windows NT username and password used to log onto the network.

Step 1: Create and share a folder on the network

NOTE: To use Direct Digital Filing, the folder you are using must already exist on a computer connected to the network. You cannot create a folder from the all-in-one control panel.

1.Create a folder on a computer connected to the network.

2.Share the folder.

Finally, he used the embedded Web server (EWS) to set up the shortcuts (called "speeddials") for each of these folders

Trying it out…

After the IT-savvy employee finished setting up Direct Digital Filing, the office manager decided to create an electronic copy of an invoice.

First, she loaded the document in the all-in- one, just like she would if she were making a copy.

Make sure the folder preferences provide read and write access.

For more information about creating folders on the network and setting folder preferences, see the documentation for your operating system.

Step 2: Set up a shortcut to the folder on the network

Links between the all-in-one and the network folder are called “Direct Digital Filing Speed-dials”. You create and manage these speed-dials using the embedded Web server (EWS) for the all-in-one.

NOTE: For more information about using the EWS, see “Embedded Web server” on page 28 or the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

1.Open a supported Web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari) on your computer.

Then, she pressed the Digital Filing button on the all-in-one control panel, and the speeddials that the IT-savvy employee had set up in the EWS appeared on the display.

Finally, she selected the "Invoices" option and pressed the Scan button.

The all-in-one scanned the document and then transmitted it directly to the invoices folder on the computer.

English

Step 1: Create and share a folder on the network 17

2.Type the IP address that has been assigned to the all- in-one. (For more information, see “Required information”.)

For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the Web browser: http://123.123.123.123

5Set up the device for wireless communication (optional)

NOTE: Wireless communication is available with some device models.

This chapter provides instruction for setting up the device for wireless communication using:

The control panel: Use menus on the display to set up wireless communication.

Software on the Starter CD: Use a network cable to temporarily connect to the network and set up wireless communication using software on the Starter CD.

For information about other ways to set up the device for wireless communication, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

Required information

Before installing the device software, you might need to find out the settings of your network. Obtain the information from your system administrators,

or complete the following tasks:

Obtain the network name (SSID) and communication mode (infrastructure or ad hoc) from the configuration utility for the network’s wireless access point (WAP) or the computer’s network card.

Find out the type of encryption your network uses, such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi® Protected Access (WPA).

Find out the security password or encryption key of the wireless device.

Understanding 802.11 wireless network settings

Network name (SSID)

By default, the device looks for the wireless network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) named “hpsetup”. Your network may have a different SSID.

Communication mode

There are two communication mode options:

Ad hoc: On an ad hoc network, the device is set to ad hoc communication mode, and communicates directly with other wireless devices without the use of a wireless access point (WAP):

All devices on the ad hoc network must:

Be 802.11 compatible

Have ad hoc as the communication mode

Have the same network name (SSID)

Be on the same subnet and same channel

Have the same 802.11 security settings

Infrastructure (recommended): On an infrastructure network, the device is set to infrastructure communication mode, and communicates with other devices on the network, whether the devices are wired or wireless, through a WAP. WAPs commonly act as routers or gateways on small networks.

Security Settings

For the available settings for the device, see the Network configuration page under “Understanding the configuration page” in the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

For more information on wireless security, visit www.weca.net/opensection/pdf/ whitepaper_wifi_security4-29-03.pdf.

English

Required information 19

Network authentication: The device’s factory default setting is Open, which does not require security for authorization or encryption. The other possible values are OpenThenShared, Shared, and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi® Protected Access Pre-Shared Key).

WPA increases the level of over-the-air data protection and access control on existing and future Wi-Fi networks. It addresses all known weaknesses of WEP, the original native security mechanism in the 802.11 standard.

WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security; providing enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks.

Data encryption:

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data. If your network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) it uses.

WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for encryption and employs 802.1X authentication with one of the standard Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types available today.

WPA2 provides a new, encryption scheme,

the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is defined in counter cipher-block chaining mode (CCM) and supports the Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) to enable security between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode.

NOTES

Make sure the device is not connected to the network using a network cable.

The sending device must have built-in 802.11 capabilities or an 802.11 wireless card installed.

HP recommends that the device and the computers that use the device be on the same subnet.

A single wireless card might have several wireless profiles (for example, one for a home network and one for an office network). Open the Configuration utility for the network card installed on your computer, and ensure that the profile selected is the profile for the device’s network.

Make sure the device’s network settings match those of your network. Do one of the following to find the settings for your network:

Infrastructure communication: Open the wireless access point’s (WAP) Configuration utility.

Ad hoc communication: Open the Configuration utility for the network card installed in your computer.

Compare the network’s settings to those on the device’s Network configuration page (see “To print the Network configuration page” on page 28), and note any differences. Possible problems include the following:

Solving network problems (some models only) 23

The WAP filters hardware addresses

(MAC addresses). See “Add hardware addresses to a wireless access point (WAP)” on page 24.

One of these settings in the device might be incorrect: communication mode, network name (SSID), channel (ad hoc networks only), authentication type, encryption.

See “Understanding 802.11 wireless network settings” on page 19.

Print a document. If the document still does not print, then reset the device’s network settings (see “Reset network configuration settings” on page 24) and reinstall the device software.

If the wireless network settings are correct, the computer might be associated with another wireless network. Ensure that the computer is associated with the same wireless network as that of the device.

Users can ensure this by checking the wireless settings on their respective computers. In addition, ensure that the computers have access to the wireless network.

If the wireless network settings are incorrect, follow these steps to correct the device’s settings:

1.Connect the device to your network with a network cable or to the computer using the network cable.

2.Open the device’s embedded Web server.

3.Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless (802.11) in the left pane.

4.Use the Wireless Setup wizard on the Wireless Setup tab to change the device’s settings to match the settings of the network.

5.Close the device’s embedded Web server, and then disconnect the network cable from the device.

6.Uninstall the device software completely, and then reinstall the software.

Add hardware addresses to a wireless access point (WAP)

MAC filtering is a security feature in which a wireless access point (WAP) is configured with a list of MAC addresses (also called “hardware addresses”) of devices that are allowed to gain access to the network through the WAP. If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device attempting to access the network, the WAP denies the device access to the network. If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the device’s MAC address must be added to the WAP’s list of accepted MAC addresses.

1.Print the Network configuration page. See “To print the Network configuration page” on page 28.

2.Open the WAP’s configuration utility, and add the device’s hardware address to the list of accepted MAC addresses.

Reset network configuration settings

If the device is still unable to communicate with the network, reset the device’s network settings.

1.Press Setup. Press an arrow button to move to Network, and then press OK.

2.Press an arrow button to move to Restore Network Defaults, and then press OK.

3.Print the Network configuration page and verify that the network settings have been reset. See “To print the Network configuration page” on page 28.

By default, the network name (SSID) is “hpsetup” and the communication mode is “ad hoc”.

Solving Direct Digital Filing problems (optional)

Unable to scan to network folder

NOTE: The Direct Digital Filing feature does not support Windows Active Directory.

The device is not set up correctly on the network

Make sure that the device is set up properly and connected to the network. PING the device and make sure that it is responding.

The network folder has not been set up correctly

Make sure the folder is created on the server. For more information, see the documentation available for your operating system.

Make sure the folder name uses only the letters A through Z (uppercase or lowercase) and the numbers 1 through 9.

Some common punctuation marks are also supported. However, do not use accented or special characters in the folder name.

Make sure the folder has been shared and that users can both read and write to the folder. For more

information, see the documentation available for your operating system.

Make sure the folder name is entered in the correct format in the embedded Web server (EWS) and that the username and password are entered correctly.

For more information, see the information in the EWS.

The disk is full

Make sure the server containing the folder has enough disk space available.

The device cannot create a unique filename using the assigned prefix and suffix

The device can create up to 9,999 files using the same prefix and suffix. If you have scanned many files to a folder, change the prefix.

The filename prefix has not been set up correctly

Make sure the folder name and filename prefix uses only the letters A through Z, uppercase or lowercase; the numbers 1 through 9. Some common punctuation marks are also supported. However, do not use accented or special characters in the folder name.

If unsupported characters are used in filename prefixes, they will not appear correctly when the file is created.

The server name cannot be resolved

Sending to network folder might fail if the server name provided during setup cannot be resolved to specific IP addresses. When setting up the Direct Digital Filing feature, be sure to do the following:

Try to use fully qualified DNS names.

Make sure the DNS server is set up correctly on the device.

TIP: If you have recently changed the DNS settings, turn off and then turn on the all-in-one.

Solving fax problems (optional)

If you ran a fax test and the test failed, see the test report for possible solutions. For more detailed information, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

The device is having problems sending and receiving faxes

Make sure you use the phone cord that came with the device.

Other equipment that uses the same phone line as the device might be in use. Make sure extension phones (phones on the same phone line, but not connected to the device) or other equipment is not in use or off the hook. For example, you cannot use the device for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send e-mail or access the Internet.

If you are using a phone splitter, the splitter could cause faxing problems. Try connecting the device directly to the telephone wall jack.

Make sure that one end of the phone cord is connected to the telephone wall jack, while the other end to port labeled “1-LINE” on the back of the device.

Try connecting a working phone directly to the telephone wall jack and check for a dial tone –- if you do not hear a dial tone, please contact your telephone company to check the line.

Make sure you connect the device to an analog phone line, or you cannot send or receive faxes. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal-sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones. Connect the device to an analog phone line and try sending or receiving a fax.

The phone line connection might be noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. Check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If you hear noise, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing again.

If you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service, make sure that you have a DSL filter connected. Without the filter, you cannot fax successfully.

If you are using either a private branch exchange (PBX) or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) converter/terminal adapter, make sure the device is connected to the correct port and the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/region.
