HP all-in-one overview

Many HP all-in-one functions can be accessed directly, without turning on your computer. Tasks such as making a copy, sending a fax, or printing photos from a memory card can be accomplished quickly and easily from your HP all-in-one. This chapter describes the HP all-in-one hardware features, control panel functions, and how to access the HP Image Zone software.
Note The HP Photosmart 2600 series and HP Photosmart 2700 series all-in-ones
have slightly different features. Some of the features described in this guide might not apply to the model you purchased.
Tip You can do more with your HP all-in-one by using the HP Image Zone software
installed on your computer. The software includes enhanced copy, fax, scan, and photo functionality, as well as troubleshooting tips and product-specific help. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help and Use the HP Image
Zone to do more with your HP all-in-one.

Use the HP Image Zone to do more with your HP all-in­one
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.
Access to the HP Image Zone software differs by operating system (OS). For example, if you have a PC and are running Windows, the HP Image Zone software entry point is the HP Director. If you have a Macintosh and are running OS X V10.1.5 or later, 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.
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 the HP Image Zone software (Windows)

Open the HP Director from the desktop icon, system tray icon, or from the Start menu. The HP Image Zone software features appear in the HP Director.
To open the HP Director
1 Do one of the following:
– On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Director icon. – In the system tray at the far right of the Windows taskbar, double-click the
Hewlett-Packard Digital Imaging Monitor icon.
– On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, select HP,
and then click HP Director.
2 In the Select Device box, click to see a list of installed devices. 3 Select the HP all-in-one.

Note The icons in the HP Director graphic below might appear differently on your
computer. The HP Director is customized to display icons associated with the device that is selected. If the selected device is not equipped with a particular feature or function, then the icon for that feature or function does not display in the HP Director.
Tip If the HP Director 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.

– The Services tab gives you access to digital imaging applications that can
help you view, edit, manage, and share you images.
● The Search HP Image Zone Help text entry field The Search HP Image Zone Help text entry field lets you search HP Image Zone
Help for keywords or phrases.

Load originals and load paper
This chapter provides instructions for loading originals on the glass to copy, scan, or fax; choosing the best paper type for your job; loading paper in the input tray; and avoiding paper jams.

Load an original

You can copy, scan, or fax up to letter- or A4-size originals by loading them on the glass, as described here. You should also follow these instructions when loading a proof sheet on the glass for photo printing.
Note Many of the special features will not work correctly if the glass and lid backing
are not clean. For more information, see Clean the HP all-in-one.
To load an original on the glass
1 Lift the lid and place your original face down on the right front corner of the glass.
If you are loading a proof sheet, make sure the top of the proof sheet is lined up against the right edge of the glass.
Tip For more help on loading an original, refer to the guides along the front and
right edges of the glass.
2 Close the lid.
Tip You can copy or scan oversized originals by completely removing the lid from
your HP all-in-one. To remove the lid, lift the lid to the open position, grasp the sides of the lid, and then pull the lid upward. Your HP all-in-one functions normally with the lid removed. Replace the lid by inserting the tabs on the hinge back into the appropriate slots.

Choose papers for printing and copying

You can use many types and sizes of paper in your HP all-in-one. Review the following recommendations to get the best printing and copying quality. Whenever you change paper types or sizes, remember to change those settings.

Recommended papers

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos, for example, load glossy or matte photo paper in the input tray. If you are printing a brochure or presentation, use a type of paper specifically designed for that purpose.
For more information about HP papers, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help, or go to www.hp.com/support.

Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin, 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.
We do not recommend printing to the following papers:
● Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).
● Highly textured stock, such as linen. It may 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. The ink is also more likely to smear.
● Envelopes with clasps or windows.
36 HP Photosmart 2600/2700 series all-in-one
Page 40
We do not recommend copying to the following papers:
● Any size paper other than letter, A4, 10 by 15 cm (4 by 6 inch), 5 by 7 inch, Hagaki, or L. Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available to you.
● Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).
● Photo paper other than HP Premium Photo Paper or HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
● Envelopes.
● Banner paper.
● Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or
HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.
● Multiple-part forms or label stock.

Load paper

This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into your HP all-in-one for your copies, printouts, or faxes.
Tip To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in a
resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP all-in-one.

Load full-size paper

You can load many types of letter, A4, or legal paper into the main input tray of your HP all-in-one.
Load originals and load paper
Tip If you have the optional HP 250 Sheet Plain Paper Tray installed, you can load an
additional 250 sheets of plain letter or A4 paper into the lower tray. Paper loaded in the optional lower tray is only available for printouts you print from the software applications on your computer. It is not available for copying or printing received faxes.

Load other types of paper

The following table provides guidelines for loading certain types of paper. For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper sizes or paper types. For information on changing paper settings, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
Note Not all paper sizes and paper types are available with all the functions on the
HP all-in-one. Some paper sizes and paper types can only be used if you are starting a print job from the Print dialog box in a software application. They are not available for copying, faxing, or printing photos from a memory card or digital camera. Papers that are only available for printing from a software application are indicated as such, below.
Paper
Tips
HP papers ● HP Premium Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the nonprinting side
of the paper, and then slide the paper into the input tray with the arrow side facing up.
● HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film so that the white transparency strip (with arrows and the HP logo) is on top and is going into the input tray first.
Note The HP all-in-one might not automatically detect
transparency film if it is loaded incorrectly, or if you use transparency film other than HP transparency film. For best results, set the paper type to transparency film before printing or copying onto transparency film.
● HP Iron-On Transfers: 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.) 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.
● HP Matte 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.
Labels (for printing from a
software application only)
Always use letter or A4 label sheets designed for use with HP inkjet devices (such as Avery inkjet labels), and make sure that the labels are not more than two years old. Labels on older sheets might peel off when the paper is pulled through the HP all-in-one, causing subsequent paper jams.
1 Fan the stack of labels to make sure none of the pages are sticking
together.
2 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.

5 Slide the paper into the input tray so that the unattached edge is at
the top of the stack.
6 Insert the first edge into the input tray until it stops, as shown below.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines:
● Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
● Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
● 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 guides in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper guides do 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.
For information about clearing paper jams, see Paper troubleshooting.

Use a memory card or PictBridge camera

The HP all-in-one can access the memory cards used in most digital cameras so you can print, store, manage, and share your photos. You can insert the memory card into the HP all-in-one, or connect your camera directly, letting the HP all-in-one read the contents of the memory card while it is still in the camera.
This chapter contains information on using memory cards or a PictBridge camera with your HP all-in-one. Read this chapter for information on transferring photos to your computer, setting photo print options, printing photos, editing photos, viewing slide shows, and sharing photos with your family and friends.

The memory card slots and camera port

If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the memory card in your HP all-in-one to print or save your photos.
You can print a proof sheet, which might be several pages long and shows thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card, and print photos from the memory card, even if your HP all-in-one is not connected to a computer. You can also connect a digital camera that supports PictBridge to the HP all-in-one through the camera port and print directly from the camera.
Your HP all-in-one can read the following memory cards: CompactFlash (I, II), Memory Sticks, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD-Picture Card.
Note You can scan a document and send the scanned image to an inserted memory
card. For more information, see Send a scan to a memory card.
Memory Card and PictBridge
Your HP all-in-one features four slots for memory cards, shown in the following illustration, with the memory cards that correspond to each slot.
The slots are configured as follows:
● Top left slot: CompactFlash (I, II)
● Top right slot: Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard (MMC)
● Bottom left slot: SmartMedia, xD-Picture Card (fits in top right of the slot)
User Guide 45
Page 49
Chapter 6
● Bottom right slot: Memory Stick, Magic Gate Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo (with user-supplied adapter), Memory Stick Pro
● PictBridge camera port (below the memory card slots): compatible with any USB­equipped digital camera that supports PictBridge
Note The camera port only supports USB-equipped digital cameras that support
PictBridge. If you attach a USB device that is not a compatible digital camera (or Bluetooth adapter) to the camera port , an error message appears on the color graphics display. If you have an older HP-brand digital camera, try using the USB cable that came with the camera. Plug it into the USB port on the back of the HP all-in-one and not into the camera port near the memory card slots. This works with HP digital cameras only.
Tip By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less and 64 MB or
more with the FAT32 format. Digital cameras and other devices use the FAT (FAT16 or FAT12) format and cannot operate with a FAT32 formatted card. Either format your memory card in your camera or select FAT format to format your memory card in a Windows XP PC.

Control memory card security on a network

Your HP all-in-one, if networked, lets computers on your network access the contents
Memory Card and PictBridge
of memory cards. When used on a wireless network that does not have wireless encryption enabled, anyone within wireless range who knows your network name and the HP all-in-one network ID can access the contents of your memory card while it is inserted in the HP all-in-one.
You can increase the privacy of data on your memory cards by establishing a WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key or WPA/PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access/Pre-Shared Key) ) on your wireless network or by setting the HP all-in-one so it never shares an inserted memory card with networked computers, wireless or not. This means that other computers on your network will also not be able to access the files on the memory card.
For more information on adding encryption to a wireless network, see the Network Guide.
Note The HP all-in-one never shares the contents of a memory card in a digital
camera that is connected to the HP all-in-one through the camera port.
1 Press Setup. 2 Press 8, and then press 3.
This displays the Network menu and then selects Advanced Setup.
3 Press 3 to select Memory Card Security. 4 Press the number next to the desired security option:
– 1. Share Files – 2. Do Not Share Files

Transfer photos to your computer

After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save them directly to your computer. To save them to your computer, you need to remove the
46 HP Photosmart 2600/2700 series all-in-one
Page 50
memory card from the camera and insert it in the appropriate memory card slot on the HP all-in-one.
Note You can only use one memory card in your HP all-in-one at a time.
1 Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on your HP all-in-one.
When the memory card is inserted correctly, the Photo button on the control panel begins to blink. Reading photos... appears on the color graphics display. The status light next to the memory card slots blinks green when the card is being accessed. If you insert a memory card incorrectly, the status light next to the memory card slots blinks amber and the color graphics display shows an error message such as
Card is in backwards or Card is not fully inserted.
Warning Never attempt to remove a memory card while it is being
accessed. Doing so can damage files on the card. You can safely remove a card only when the status light next to the slots is not blinking.
2 If there are photo files on the memory card that have never been transferred
before, a dialog box on your computer asks whether you want to save the photo files to your computer. If the HP all-in-one is on a network, you must press Photo to display the Photo
Menu, press 3 to select Transfer to computer, and then select your computer from
the displayed list. Return to your computer and follow the onscreen prompts.
3 Click the option to save.
This saves all the new photos from the memory card to your computer. For Windows: by default, files are saved in month and year folders depending on when the photos were taken. The folders are created under the C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Pictures folder in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
For Macintosh: by default, files are saved to the computer in a Hard Drive: Documents:HP All-in-One Data:Photos folder (OS 9) or Hard Drive:Users:User Name:Pictures:HP Photos folder (OS X).
Memory Card and PictBridge
Tip You can also use the control panel to transfer memory card files to an
attached computer. Press Photo, and then press 3 to select Transfer to
computer. Follow the prompts on the computer. In addition, the memory card
appears as a drive on your computer. You can move the photo files from the memory card to the desktop.
If there are no new files on the memory card, when the HP all-in-one finishes reading the memory card the Photo button stops blinking and stays lit, and the status light next to the memory card slots remains lit. The first photo on the memory card appears on the color graphics display. To navigate through the photos on the memory card, press backward or forward through the photos, one photo at a time. Press and hold

Print photos from a proof sheet

A proof sheet is a simple and convenient way to select photos and make prints directly from a memory card without the need for a computer. A proof sheet, which might be several pages long, shows thumbnail views of photos stored on the memory card. The file name, index number, and date appear under each thumbnail. Proof sheets are also a quick way to create a printed catalog of your photos. In order to print photos using a proof sheet, you need to print the proof sheet, complete it, and then scan it.
Note You can only print a proof sheet for a memory card inserted into the HP all-in-
one. You cannot print photos from a PictBridge camera connected to the PictBridge camera port.
Printing photos from a proof sheet is done in three steps: printing a proof sheet, completing the proof sheet, and scanning the proof sheet. This section contains detailed information on all three steps.
Tip You can also improve the quality of the photos you print with the HP all-in-one by
purchasing a photo or gray photo print cartridge. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality color photos. With the tri-color print cartridge and the gray photo print cartridge installed, you can print a full range of gray tones, which provides enhanced quality black-and-white photos. For more information on the photo print

Print photos from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera

The HP all-in-one supports the PictBridge standard, which lets you connect any PictBridge-compatible camera to the camera port and print photos contained on the memory card in the camera.
1 Connect your PictBridge-compatible digital camera to the camera port on the front
of your HP all-in-one using the USB cable supplied with your camera. 2 Turn on your camera and make sure it is in PictBridge mode.
Note When the camera is connected correctly, the status light next to the memory card
slots is illuminated. The status light blinks green when printing from the camera. If the camera is not PictBridge-compliant or is not in PictBridge mode, the status
light blinks amber and an error message displays on your computer monitor (if you have the HP all-in-one software installed). Disconnect the camera, correct the problem on the camera and reconnect. For more information about PictBridge camera port troubleshooting, see the onscreen Troubleshooting Help that came with your HP Image Zone software.
After you successfully connect your PictBridge-compliant camera to the HP all-in-one, you can print your photos. Make sure the size of the paper loaded in the HP all-in-one matches the setting on your camera. If the paper size setting on your camera is set to the default, the HP all-in-one uses the paper that is currently loaded in the input tray. Refer to the user guide that came with your camera for detailed information on printing from the camera.
Memory Card and PictBridge
Tip If your digital camera is an HP model that does not support PictBridge, you can
still print directly to the HP all-in-one. Connect the camera to the USB port on the back of the HP all-in-one instead of to the camera port. This works with HP digital cameras only.

Print a DPOF file

The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be created by some digital cameras. Camera-selected photos are photos you marked for printing with your digital camera. When you select photos with your camera, the camera creates a
User Guide 55
Page 59
Chapter 6
Memory Card and PictBridge
DPOF file that identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your HP all-in-one can read the DPOF file from the memory card so you do not have to reselect the photos to print.
Note Not all digital cameras allow you to tag your photos for printing. See your digital
camera documentation to see if it supports DPOF. Your HP all-in-one supports DPOF file format 1.1.
When you print camera-selected photos, the HP all-in-one print settings do not apply; the settings in the DPOF file for photo layout and number of copies override those of your HP all-in-one.
The DPOF file is stored by the digital camera on a memory card and specifies the following information:
● Which photos to print
● The quantity of each photo to print
● Rotation applied to a photo
● Cropping applied to a photo
● Index printing (thumbnails of selected photos)
To print camera-selected photos

Use the copy features

The HP all-in-one allows 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 and color intensity of the copy, and use special features to make high-quality copies of photos, including 10 by 15 cm (4 by 6 inch) borderless copies.
This chapter provides instructions for increasing copy speed, enhancing copy quality, setting the number of copies to print, guidelines for choosing the best paper type and size for your job, making posters, and making iron-on transfers.
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.
For information on setting the paper size, see Set the copy paper size. For information on setting the paper type, see Set the copy paper type. For information on setting the copy quality, see Increase copy speed or quality.

Increase copy speed or quality

The HP all-in-one provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.
● Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.
● Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies more slowly than the other quality settings.
● Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of the Normal setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The Fast setting uses less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.

Use the scan features

This chapter contains information on scanning to an application, to an HP Instant Share destination, and to a memory card.
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles, text documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass on your HP all-in-one. Scanning to a memory card makes your scanned images even more portable.
You can use the scanning features of your HP all-in-one to do the following:
● Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report.
● Print business cards and brochures by scanning a logo and using it in your
publishing software.
● Send photos to friends and relatives by scanning your favorite prints and including
them in e-mail messages.
● Create a photographic inventory of your house or office.
● Archive treasured photos in an electronic scrapbook.
Note Scanning text (also known as optical character recognition or OCR) lets you
bring the content of magazine articles, books, and other printed matter into your favorite word processor and many other programs as fully editable text. Learning to do OCR right is important if you want to obtain the best results. Do not expect scanned text documents to be letter-perfect the first time you use your OCR software. Using OCR software is an art that takes time and practice to master. For more information about scanning documents, especially documents containing both text and graphics, see the documentation that came with your OCR software.
To use the scan features, your HP all-in-one and computer must be connected and turned on. The HP all-in-one software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP all-in-one software is running on a Windows PC, look for the HP all-in-one icon in the system tray at the lower right side of the screen, near the time. On a Macintosh, the HP all-in-one software is always running.
Note Closing the HP Windows system tray icon can cause your HP all-in-one to lose
some of its scan functionality and result in the No Connection error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the HP Image Zone software.
For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your software.

Fax setup

After completing all steps in the Setup Guide, use the instructions in this chapter to complete your fax setup. Please keep your Setup Guide for later use.
In this chapter, you will learn how to set up your HP all-in-one so that faxing works successfully with equipment and services you might already have on the same phone line as your HP all-in-one.
Before you begin setting up your HP all-in-one for faxing, determine which type of equipment or services you have on the same phone line. From the first column in the following table, choose the combination of equipment and services applicable to your home or office setting. Then look up the appropriate setup case in the second column. Step-by-step instructions are included for each case later in this chapter.
Other equipment/services sharing your fax line
None. You have a dedicated phone line for
faxing.
A digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company.
A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system.
A distinctive ring service through your telephone company.
Voice calls. You receive both voice and fax call on this
phone line.
Voice calls and voice mail service. You receive both voice and fax calls on
this phone line and subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company.
Recommended fax setup

Case A: Separate fax line (no voice calls received)

Case B: Set up your HP all-in-one with DSL

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."
User Guide 81

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 your HP all­in-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.

Use the fax features

You can use your HP all-in-one to send and receive faxes, including color faxes. You can set up speed dials to send faxes quickly and easily to frequently used numbers. From the control panel, you can also set a number of fax options, such as resolution.
You should explore the HP Director that came with your HP Image Zone software to take full advantage of all of its features. Using the HP Director, you can send a fax from your computer, include a computer-generated cover page, and quickly set up speed dials. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
For information on accessing the HP Director and the onscreen help, see Use the
HP Image Zone to do more with your HP all-in-one.

Set up the HP all-in-one to receive faxes

Your HP all-in-one can be set up to receive faxes automatically or manually, depending on your home or office setup. If you set up the HP all-in-one to answer faxes automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. If you set up the HP all­in-one to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP all-in-one cannot receive faxes. For more information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually.
In certain situations you might want to receive faxes manually. For example, if you share a line between your HP all-in-one and phone and you do not have distinctive ringing or an answering machine, you will need to set up the HP all-in-one to answer fax calls manually. If you subscribe to a voice mail service, you will also need to answer fax calls manually. This is because the HP all-in-one will not be able to distinguish between fax calls and phone calls.

The other fax machine might time out before receiving the fax and the transmission might fail. In this case, send the fax from the control panel or by using monitor dialing. For information, see Send a basic fax or Send a
fax using monitor dialing.
You can send a black-and-white or color fax from a telephone; the following section provides instructions for sending the fax in black and white.

The telephone line will go 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.

Resend a fax to multiple recipients

The last black-and-white fax sent is stored in memory so that you can resend it to other recipients quickly without having to rescan the originals. The HP all-in-one does not store color faxes in memory.
The fax is stored in memory for up to 5 minutes while you remain in the Enter Fax
Number screen. If you press any button that will exit the Fax menu (such as Cancel) or
send a color fax, it will be deleted from memory. 1 Send a black-and-white fax.

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, your HP all-in-one will automatically answer incoming calls and receive faxes. For more information on
Auto Answer, see Set up the HP all-in-one to receive faxes.
Note If you installed a photo or gray photo print cartridge for printing photos, you
might want to replace it with the black print cartridge when receiving faxes. See
Work with print cartridges.

Set the number of rings before answering

You can specify how many rings should occur before your HP all-in-one automatically answers the incoming call.
Note This setting only applies if Auto Answer is set to On.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as your HP all-in-one. You want the answering machine to answer the phone before the HP all-in-one. 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 4 rings 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-in-one detects fax tones, the HP all-in-one will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine will record the incoming message.
Use the fax features
To set the number of rings before answering from the control panel

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.
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:
● Directly connected to the HP all-in-one (on the "2-EXT" port)
● On the same phone line, but is not connected to the HP all-in-one

For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your HP Image Zone software.

Enter text and symbols

You can enter text and symbols from the control panel by using the visual keyboard that appears automatically on the color graphics display when setting up your fax header information or speed-dial entries. You can also use the keypad on the control panel to enter text and symbols.
You can also enter symbols from the keypad when you dial a fax or phone number. When the HP all-in-one dials the number, it will interpret the symbol and respond accordingly. For example, if you enter a dash in the fax number, the HP all-in-one will pause before dialing the remainder of the number. A pause is useful if you need to access an outside line before dialing the fax number.
