Use the HP Image Zone software

You can use the HP Image Zone software to access many features not available from the control panel.
The HP Image Zone software is installed on your computer when you set up your HP All-in-One. For further information, see the Setup Guide that came with your device.
Note If you selected the minimum installation of the HP Image Zone
software, the HP Image Zone Express software is installed rather than the full application. HP Image Zone Express is recommended for computers with limited memory resources. HP Image Zone Express includes a basic set of

photo editing features instead of the standard set that is included on the full installation of HP Image Zone.
Any mention of the HP Image Zone software in this guide and in the onscreen
HP Image Zone Help refers to both versions of HP Image Zone unless
otherwise noted.
You can quickly and easily expand the functionality of your HP All-in-One by using the
HP Image Zone software. Look for boxes like this throughout the guide that provide
topic-specific tips and helpful information for your projects.
Access to the HP Image Zone software differs by operating system (OS). For example, if you have a Windows computer, the HP Image Zone software entry point is the HP Solution Center. If you have a Mac, the HP Image Zone software entry point is the HP Image Zone window. Regardless, the entry point serves as the launching pad for the HP Image Zone software and services.
To open the HP Image Zone software on a Windows computer
1. Do one of the following: – On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Solution Center icon.
In the system tray at the far right of the Windows taskbar, double-click the
HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon.
On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, select HP,
and then click HP Solution Center.
2. If you have more than one HP device installed, select the HP All-in-One tab.
Note On a Windows computer, the features available in the HP Solution
Center vary depending on the devices you have installed. The HP Solution Center is customized to display icons associated with the selected device. If
the selected device is not equipped with a particular feature, then the icon for that feature does not display in the HP Solution Center.
Tip If the HP Solution Center on your computer does not contain any icons,
an error might have occurred during the software installation. To correct this, use the Control Panel in Windows to completely uninstall the HP Image Zone software; then reinstall the software. For more information, see the Setup Guide that came with your HP All-in-One.
To open the HP Image Zone software on a Mac
Click the HP Image Zone icon in the Dock, and then choose a device. The HP Image Zone window appears.
Note On a Mac, the features available in the HP Image Zone software
vary depending on the chosen device.
Tip Once the HP Image Zone software is opened, you can access the
Dock menu shortcuts by selecting and holding the mouse button over the
HP Image Zone icon in the Dock.

Contents, Index, and Search tabs
The Contents, Index, and Search tabs enable you to find any topic in the HP Image
Zone Help.
Contents
The Contents tab provides a top-down view of the topics in the Help, similar to the table of contents in a book. This is a useful way to find all the information provided about a single feature, such as printing photos.
For information on tasks and features available from the control panel of your
HP All-in-One, open the 5600 series Help near the bottom of the list.
For troubleshooting information about your HP All-in-One, open the
Troubleshooting and support book, and then open the 5600 series Troubleshooting book.
The other books listed on the Contents tab provide information on using the
HP Image Zone software to complete tasks on your HP All-in-One.
Sections that contain subtopics are indicated in the list by a book icon. To view a list of the subtopics within a book, click the + sign next to the book icon. (The + sign changes to a - sign when the section is already expanded.) To view the information in a topic, click the book name or topic name on the Contents tab. The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.
Index
The Index tab provides an alphabetical list of index entries relevant to the topics in the HP Image Zone Help.
12 HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
You can use the scroll bar on the right side of the list to view the different entries, or you can begin typing keywords in the text box above the list. As you type, the list of index entries automatically advances to the entries that begin with the letters you type.
When you see an index entry that seems to be related to the information you are trying to find, double-click the index entry.
If there is only one topic in the Help associated with that index entry, that
topic appears in the display area on the right.
If there are many applicable topics, the Topics Found dialog box appears.
Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.
Search
The Search tab enables you to search the entire Help system for specific words, such as "borderless print".
Tip If any of the words you are entering are fairly common (such as
"print", in the "borderless print" example), you might want to place quotation marks around the combination of words for which you are searching. This limits your search so that the results are more relevant to the information you need. Instead of returning all topics that contain either the word "borderless" or the word "print", the search will only return topics that contain the phrase "borderless print".

After entering your search criteria, click List
Topics to view all the Help topics that contain
the words or phrases you entered. The results are listed in a three-column table. Each row contains the topic Title, the Location in the Help where the topic is contained, and the Rank, assigned based on its relevance to your search criteria.
By default, the results are sorted by Rank, so that the topic containing the most instances of your search criteria is at the top of the list. You can also sort the results by the topic's Title or Location, by clicking the table heading for that column. To view the contents of a topic, double-click that row in the results table. The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.

The display area on the right side of the Help window displays the Help topic you select from one of the tabs on the left. Help topics include descriptive text, step-by­step instructions, and illustrations, if applicable.
Topics often include links to other topics in the Help system where you can find additional information. Sometimes a link automatically opens the new topic in the display area. At other times, there might be more than one applicable topic. When

this is the case, the Topics Found dialog box appears. Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.
Some topics include detailed instructions or additional information that is not immediately visible on the page. Look for the words Show All or Hide All at the top right side of the page. If these words are visible, it means there is additional information hidden on the page. The hidden information is indicated by dark blue text with an arrow. You can view the hidden information by clicking the dark blue text.
Some topics include animated videos that show you how to use a particular feature. These animations are identified by a video camera icon, followed by the words "Show me how". When you click the "Show me how" link text, the animation runs in a new window.

Finally, the Print button enables you to print the page that is currently displayed on the computer screen. If the Contents tab is visible on the left when you click Print, the Print Topics dialog box appears. You can choose to print just the topic you are currently viewing in the display area, or you can print the current topic plus any subtopics associated with it.

Set up the HP All-in-One for faxing

Before you begin setting up your HP All-in-One for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/region uses. The instructions for setting up your HP All-in­One for faxing 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 your HP All-in-One. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.
If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a parallel­type 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 HP All-in-One.
Note If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use
the 2-wire phone cord supplied with your HP All-in-One to connect the HP All-in-One to the telephone wall jack.
Countries/regions with a parallel-type phone system

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your telephone company.
Choose the right 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 your HP All-in-One. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to your HP All-

in-One, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP All-in-One 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.)
Yes, I have DSL.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up your HP All-in-One with
DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please 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 your HP All-in-One with
a PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering
questions. If you answered No, please 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?
Yes, I have distinctive ring.
No.
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, please 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 your HP All-in-One?
Yes, I receive voice calls.
No.
Please continue answering questions.
5. Do you have a computer modem on the same phone line as your HP All-in-One?
Yes, I have a computer modem.
No.
20 HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
Are you unsure if you use a computer modem? If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer modem:
Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software
programs 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? Please 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 your HP All-in-One?
Yes, I have an answering machine.
No.
Please 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 your HP All-in-One?
Yes, I have a voice mail service.
No.
After you have completed answering the questions, proceed to the next section to select your fax setup case.

Case C: Set up your HP All-in-One 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 HP All-in-One 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 "multi-combi" 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 your HP All-in-One. 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 your HP All-in-One. 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, see The phone cord

When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP All-in-One monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
Case J: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have a computer modem and answering machine connected on this phone line, set up your HP All-in-One as described in this section.
Since your computer modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will not be able to use both your computer modem and your HP All-in-One simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP All-in-One for faxing if you are using your computer modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
There are two different ways to set up your HP All-in-One 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 2-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.) For additional details, see the 5600 series
Troubleshooting section in the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a computer modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up your HP All-in-One 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.
Since your computer modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will not be able to use both your computer modem and your HP All-in-One

Change the answer ring pattern (distinctive ringing)
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number will have a different ring pattern. You can set up your HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect your HP All-in-One to a line with distinctive ringing, 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 HP All-in-One detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the call and receive the fax.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All
Rings.
To change the answer ring pattern from the control panel
1. Verify that your HP All-in-One is set to answer fax calls automatically. For information, see Set the answer mode.

Finish setup
Set the number of rings before answering
If you set the Auto Answer setting to On, you can specify how many rings should occur before your HP All-in-One automatically answers the incoming call.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as your HP All-in-One, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the HP All-in-One does. The number of rings to answer for the HP All-in-One should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to answer in four rings or fewer and your HP All-in-One to answer in the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine will answer the call and the HP All-in-One will monitor the line. If the HP All-

Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.
Papers to avoid when printing
Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).
Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed into these papers.
Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for your HP All-in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.
Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck, and the ink is more likely to smear.
Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper jams.
Banner paper.

HP Iron-On Transfers
Locate the blue stripe on the nonprinting side of the transfer paper and then manually feed one sheet at a time into the input tray with the blue stripe facing up.
Note 1 Flatten the transfer sheet completely before using it; do not load
curled sheets. To prevent curling, keep transfer sheets sealed in the original package until you are ready to use them.
Note 2 This paper is for printing only.
HP Greeting Cards, HP Photo Greeting Cards, or HP Textured Greeting Cards
Insert a small stack of HP greeting card paper into the input tray with the print side down; slide the stack of cards forward until it stops.

HP Inkjet Labels
Always use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet devices (such as HP inkjet labels), and make sure that the labels are no more than two years old. Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the HP All-in­One, causing subsequent paper jams.
Note This paper is for printing only.
To load labels
Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking together. – Place a stack of label sheets on top of full-size plain paper in the input tray, label
side down. Do not insert labels one sheet at a time.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines:
Close the output tray extender when you use legal-size paper.
Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable
bag.
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
Use paper types that are recommended for your HP All-in-One. For more
information, see Choose papers for printing and copying.
Do not leave originals on the glass. If you load an original in the automatic document feeder while there is already an original on the glass, the original can jam in the automatic document feeder.
For more information about clearing paper jams, see Paper troubleshooting or the troubleshooting section in the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

Use the copy features

The HP All-in-One enables you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white copies on a variety of paper types, including transparencies. You can enlarge or reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the darkness of the copy, and use special features to make high-quality copies of photos, including borderless copies.
This chapter provides instructions for increasing copy speed, enhancing copy quality, setting the number of copies to print, and guidelines for choosing the best paper type and size for your job.
Tip For the best copy performance on standard copy projects, set the paper
size to Letter or A4, the paper type to Plain Paper, and the copy quality to Fast.

Use the fax features

You can use your HP All-in-One to send and receive faxes, including color faxes.
This User Guide provides just a sampling of the fax features available to help you get started using your HP All-in-One to send and receive faxes. Explore the onscreen
HP Image Zone Help that came with your HP All-in-One software for information on
all the fax features that your HP All-in-One supports. For example, the onscreen
HP Image Zone Help provides information on scheduling a fax to send, broadcasting
a fax to multiple recipients, and more. For more information on the HP Image Zone
Help, see Use the onscreen Help.

Send a fax

You can send a fax in a variety of ways. Using the control panel, you can send a black­and-white or color fax from your HP All-in-One. You can also send a fax manually from an attached phone. This allows you to speak with the recipient before sending the fax.
If you frequently send faxes to the same numbers, you can set up speed dial entries. For more information on setting up speed dial entries, see Set up speed dialing.

Send a basic fax

You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white fax by using the control panel, as described here. If you want to send a color or photo fax, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
Note Before you begin faxing, make sure you have set up your HP All-in-One
properly for faxing. For more information, see Set up the HP All-in-One for faxing.
Note If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent,
enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes. For more information, see
Print fax confirmation reports.
Tip You can also send a fax manually from a phone or by using monitor
dialing. These features allow you to control the pace of your dialing. They are also useful when you want to use a calling card to charge the call and you need to respond to tone prompts while dialing. For more information, see Send
a fax manually from a phone or Send a fax using monitor dialing.
1. Load your originals, with the print side up, into the document feeder tray. If you are sending a single-page fax, such as a photograph, you can also load your original on the glass.
Note If you are sending a multiple-page fax, you must load the originals
in the document feeder tray. You cannot fax a multiple-page document from the glass.
2. Press Fax.

If the HP All-in-One does not detect an original loaded in the automatic
document feeder, the Fax from glass? prompt appears. Make sure your original is loaded on the glass, and then press 1 to select Yes.

Send a fax manually from a phone

You can initiate a fax call from a telephone on the same phone line as your HP All-in­One if you are more comfortable using the keypad on your phone, rather than using the keypad on the control panel of your HP All-in-One. This method of sending a fax is called manually sending a fax. 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, with the print side up, into the document feeder tray.
Note This feature is not supported if you load your originals on the glass.
You must load your originals in the document feeder tray.
2. Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to your HP All-in-One.
Note Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the HP All-in-One
when manually sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the recipient's number.
3. If the recipient answers the telephone, you can engage in a conversation before sending your fax.
Note If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax tones from the
receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to transmit the fax.

66 HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
Note 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 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 your HP All-in­One. This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing.
Tip If you want to use monitor dialing to send a fax with a calling card, HP
recommends you create a speed dial entry to store the personal identification number (PIN) for your calling card. If you do not store the PIN in a speed dial entry, you might not be able to enter the PIN fast enough. The HP All-in-One might begin transmitting fax tones before you are able to finish entering your PIN, and the call will fail.
Note Make sure the volume is turned on, or you will not hear a dial tone. For
more information, see Adjust the volume.
To send a fax using monitor dialing from the control panel
1. Load your originals, with the print side up, into the document feeder tray. If you are sending a single-page fax, such as a photograph, you can also load your original on the glass.
Note If you are sending a multiple-page fax, you must load the originals
in the document feeder tray. You cannot fax a multiple-page document from the glass.
2. Press Fax, and then press Start Black or Start Color. – If the HP All-in-One detects an original loaded in the automatic

Receive a fax

Depending on the Auto Answer setting, your HP All-in-One can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you have set the Auto Answer option to Off, you will need to receive faxes manually. If the Auto Answer option is set to On (the default setting), your HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls and receive faxes after the number of rings specified by the Rings to Answer setting. (The default
Rings to Answer setting is five rings.) For more information on Auto Answer, see
Set the answer mode.
Note If you installed a photo print cartridge for printing photos, you might
want to replace it with the black print cartridge when receiving faxes. See Use
a photo print cartridge.

Receive a fax manually

If you set up your HP All-in-One to receive faxes manually (the Auto Answer option is set to Off) or you answer the phone and hear fax tones, use the instructions in this section to receive faxes.
1. Make sure the HP All-in-One is turned on and you have paper loaded in the input tray.
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.
3. If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start on their fax machine.
4. When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following: a. Press Fax on the control panel of your HP All-in-One.
b. When prompted, press 2 to select Receive fax. c. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone.
Tip If the phone you are using is on the same phone line as your HP All-
in-One, but is not plugged into the "2–EXT" port on the back of the HP All­in-One, you might not be close enough to your HP All-in-One to reach the control panel. If you cannot reach the control panel, wait several seconds, and then press 1 2 3 on your phone.
If the HP All-in-One does not begin receiving the fax, wait several more seconds and press 1 2 3 again. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone.

Set up backup fax reception

Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP All­in-One 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.
Fax
68 HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
Note The HP All-in-One deletes all the faxes stored in its memory when you
turn off the HP All-in-One. You can also delete the faxes from memory by clearing the fax log from the Setup Menu, or changing the Backup Fax
Reception mode to Off. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available: On, On Error Only, and
Off.
On is the default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the HP All-in-One stores all faxes it receives in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory. For more information, see Reprint received faxes from memory.
Note After the memory becomes full, the HP All-in-One overwrites the
oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
On Error Only causes the HP All-in-One to store faxes in memory only if there is an error condition that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing the faxes (for example, if the HP All-in-One runs out of paper). The HP All-in-One will continue to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically and are then deleted from memory.
Off means that faxes are never stored in memory. (You might want to turn off
Backup Fax Reception for security purposes, for example.) If an error condition
occurs that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing (for example, the HP All-in­One runs out of paper), the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
Note If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and you turn off the HP All-in-
One, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received while the HP All-in-One was in an error condition. You will need to 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, containing a list of the numbers from which you have received faxes, is not deleted when the HP All-in-One is turned off. For more information on the fax log, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.)

Maintain your HP All-in-One

The HP All-in-One requires little maintenance. Sometimes you might want to clean the glass and lid backing to remove surface dust and ensure that your copies and scans remain clear. You will also need to replace, align, or clean your print cartridges occasionally. This chapter provides instructions for keeping your HP All-in-One in top working condition. Perform these simple maintenance procedures as necessary.

Clean the HP All-in-One

To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, you might need to clean the glass and lid backing. You might also want to dust the exterior of the HP All-in-One.

Clean the glass

Glass that is dirty from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and dust on the main glass surface slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Fit to Page.
To clean the glass
1. Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
Note When you unplug the power cord, the date and time are erased.
You will need to reset the date and time later, when you plug the power cord back in. For more information, see Set the date and time. Any faxes stored in memory are also erased.
Maintain your HP All-in-One
2. Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.
Caution Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon
tetrachloride on the glass, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.
3. Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
To clean the glass strip inside the automatic document feeder
1. Lift the cover of the automatic document feeder.
2. Raise the lid, as if you were loading an original on the glass.

There is a glass strip under the automatic document feeder.
4. Clean the glass strip with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.
Warning Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon
tetrachloride on the glass; they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass; the liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.
5. Lower the automatic document feeder mechanism, and then close the cover of the automatic document feeder.
6. Close the lid.
Minor debris can accumulate on the white document backing located underneath the lid of the HP All-in-One.
1. Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
76 HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
2. Clean the white document backing with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water. Wash the backing gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub the backing.
3. Dry the backing with a chamois or soft cloth.
Caution Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the
backing.
4. If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.
Caution Be careful not to spill alcohol on the glass or painted parts of the
HP All-in-One, as this might damage the device.

Clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.
Caution To avoid damage to painted parts of the HP All-in-One, do not use
alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the control panel, document feeder tray, lid, or other painted parts of the device.

Print a self-test report

If you are experiencing problems with printing, print a self-test report before you replace the print cartridges. This report provides useful information on several aspects of your device, including your print cartridges.
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
2. Press Setup.
3. Press 2, then press 6. This selects Print Report and then selects Self-Test Report. The HP All-in-One prints a self-test report, which might indicate the source of the printing problem.
4. Make sure the lines of color extend across the page. If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate a
problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot. If any of the remaining three lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this
might indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot. If the color bars do not appear as black, cyan, magenta and yellow, you might
need to clean the print cartridges. For more information, see Clean the print
cartridges. If the problem is not resolved, you might need to replace the print
cartridge. For more information on replacing print cartridges, see Replace the
print cartridges.

Use the print cartridge protector

In some countries/regions, when you purchase a photo print cartridge, you might also receive a print cartridge protector. In other countries/regions, a print cartridge protector comes in the box with your HP All-in-One. If neither your print cartridge nor your HP All-in-One came with a print cartridge protector, you can order one from HP Support. Go to www.hp.com/support.
The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it
Maintain your HP All-in-One
from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the HP All-in-One with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge protector. For example, store the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector if you are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color print cartridges.
To insert a print cartridge into the print cartridge protector
Place the print cartridge into the print cartridge protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.
To remove the print cartridge from the print cartridge protector

Align the print cartridges

The HP All-in-One prompts you to align cartridges every time you install or replace a print cartridge. You can also align the print cartridges at any time from the control panel or by using the HP Image Zone software on your computer. Aligning the print cartridges ensures high-quality output.
Note If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One
will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.
To align the print cartridges from the control panel when prompted
1. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray, and then press OK.
The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.

The HP All-in-One does not print
Solution If your HP All-in-One and computer are not communicating with each
other, try the following:
Check that the HP All-in-One print queue is not paused (Windows) or stopped (Mac). If it is, choose the appropriate setting to resume printing. For more information about accessing the print queue, see the documentation that came with the operating system installed on your computer.
Check the USB cable. If you are using an older cable, it might not be working properly. Try connecting it to another product to see if the USB cable works. If you experience problems, the USB cable might need to be replaced. Also verify that the cable does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length.
Make sure your computer is USB ready. Some operating systems, such as Windows 95 and Windows NT, do not support USB connections. Check the documentation that came with your operating system for more information.
Check the connection from your HP All-in-One to your computer. Verify that the USB cable is securely plugged into the USB port on the back of your HP All-in-One. Make sure the other end of the USB cable is plugged into a USB port on your computer. After the cable is connected properly, turn your HP All-in-One off and then on again.
Troubleshooting
Check other printers or scanners. You might need to disconnect older products from your computer.

I received a message on the control panel display about a paper jam or a blocked carriage
Solution If either a paper jam or blocked carriage error message appears on
the control panel display, there might be some packing material inside the HP All­in-One. Look inside the printer, including the print-carriage access door. The shipping lock might still be in place on the left side of the HP All-in-One. Pull out the shipping lock and throw it away.
