Set up Scan to Network Folder
Introduction
Before you begin
• Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server
• Step two: Set up Scan to Network Folder
Introduction
This document explains how to enable and configure the Scan to Network Folder function. The printer has a feature that enables it to scan a document and save it to a network folder. To use this scan feature, the printer must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been configured. There are two methods for configuring Scan to Network Folder, the Save to Network Folder Setup Wizard for basic setup and Save to Network Folder Setup for advanced setup.
Before you begin
NOTE: To set up the Scan to Network Folder feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the configuration process.
• Administrative access to the printer
The fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \servername.us.companyname.net\scans) of the destination folder OR the IP address of the server (e.g., \16.88.20.20\scans).
NOTE: The use of the term "server" in this context refers to the computer where the shared folder resides.
Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server
- From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Information icon, and then touch the Network icon to display the IP address or host name.
- Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the

Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard
This option opens the setup wizard that is in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer. The setup wizard includes the options for basic configuration.
- Using the EWS top navigation tabs, click Scan/Digital Send tab.
- In the left-navigation pane, click Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards.
- Click the Save to Network Folder Quick Set Wizard link.

a. In the UNC Folder Path field, type a folder path where the scan will go.
The folder path can either be the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., servername.us.companyname.net scans) or the IP address of the server (e.g., 16.88.20.20 scans ). Be sure that the folder path (e.g., scans ) follows the FQDN or IP address.
NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.
b. From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:
• Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel
• Always use these credentials
NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields, and the printer's access to the folder must be verified by clicking Verify Access.
c. In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain.
TIP: To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click System.
To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and then click System.

However, if the folder is within a particular user's folders and not Public, the user name and password of that user must be used.
NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.

Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds
Introduction
The following solutions can help solve problems if the printer is not picking up paper from the tray or is picking up multiple sheets of paper at one time. Either of these situations can result in paper jams.
• The printer does not pick up paper
The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
• The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
The printer does not pick up paper
If the printer does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
- Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain inside the printer.
- Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.
-
Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.
-
Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on the tray.
NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or markings in the tray.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these.

A4 11 10.5 B5- Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer and that paper is being stored in unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

- The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.
The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.
NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack as described above.
-
Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.
-
Make sure the tray is not overfilled by checking the stack-height markings inside the tray. If it is overfilled, remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.
The following images show examples of the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.

Improve print quality
Introduction
Occasionally, the printer might have print-quality issues such as streaks or fading, missing black or other colors, blurred or fuzzy text, and ink streaks or smears. Try the following solutions in the order presented. When one of the solutions resolves the issue, there is no need to continue with the other procedures.

NOTE: If the issue only occurs on copies, see "Improve copy image quality."
- Check the cartridge status
• Update the printer firmware
• Change the print quality setting
• Print from a different software program
• Check paper and quality settings
• Check grayscale and black settings - Adjust color settings (Windows)
• Check paper and the printing environment
• Visually inspect the cartridge
Clean the printer
• Try a different print driver
Check the cartridge status
Print quality problems can occur when using a cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. Follow these steps to check the estimated life remaining in the cartridges and if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
- The Supplies Status Page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low threshold, HP's premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
- The cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
- If you determine that you need to replace a cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the Supplies Status Page lists the genuine HP part numbers.
Update the printer firmware
Try updating the printer firmware. For more information, go to www.hp.com/support and select the option to Get software and drivers. Then follow the prompts to navigate to the firmware download for the printer.
Change the print quality setting

-
Default (sRGB): This theme sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. When using this theme, manage color in the software program or in the operating system for correct rendering.
- Vivid (sRGB): The printer increases the color saturation in the midtones. Use this theme when printing business graphics.
- Photo (sRGB): The printer interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini lab. The printer renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than with the Default (sRBG) theme. Use this theme when printing photos.
- Photo (Adobe RGB 1998): Use this theme with printing digital photos that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. Turn off color management in the software program when using this theme.
None: No color theme is used. -
Custom Profile: Select this option to use a custom input profile to accurately control color output (for example, to emulate a specific printer). Download custom profiles from www.hp.com.
-
Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog box, click Print or OK to print the job.
Check paper and the printing environment
Complete the following steps to check the paper that you are using and the printer's physical environment.
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications. Problems could include curled paper, light or faded printing, ink specks or smears, and misshapen characters. Follow these guidelines when selecting paper:
• Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
- Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
• Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
• Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
- Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
- Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides, including the top.
- Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue inside the printer.
Visually inspect the cartridge
Follow these steps to inspect each cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the gold-colored metal contacts on the edge of the cartridge. Fingerprints on the metal contacts can cause print-quality problems.

text_image
Diagram showing a device emitting a light with a prohibition symbol, indicating no protection or anti-protection.- Remove the cartridge from the printer, and verify that there is no debris in the cartridge path.
-
Check to see whether you are using a genuine HP cartridge. A genuine HP cartridge has the word "HP" on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
-
Look at the gold-colored metal contacts on the cartridge.
• If you see any scratches, or other damage on the metal contacts, replace the cartridge.
Clean the printer
During the printing process, paper and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and can cause print-quality issues such as smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks. Begin by printing the Print Quality Report, and then continue to the appropriate cleaning procedure.
Print and interpret the Print Quality Report
The Print Quality Report is a page that is printed with bars of color from each cartridge. The report can help you identify print-quality issues.

Solve fax problems
• Checklist for solving tax problems
• General fax problems
Checklist for solving fax problems
Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter:
Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with the supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specifications. Do not substitute another fax cable; the analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.
- Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the outlet on the fax accessory? Make sure that the phone jack is correctly seated in the outlet. Insert the connector into the outlet until it "clicks."
NOTE: Verify that the phone jack is connected to the tax port rather than to the network port. The ports are similar.
- Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to the wall jack. Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make or receive a phone call?
What type of phone line are you using?
• Dedicated line: A standard analog fax/phone line assigned to receive or send taxes.
NOTE: The phone line should be for printer fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notifications to a monitoring company.
PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax accessory use an analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible with the fax accessory. You might need an interfacing Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) to connect the fax machine to digital PBX systems.
Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line when the first incoming line is busy. Try attaching the printer to the first incoming phone line. The fax accessory answers
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax telephone line.
Check fax accessory status
If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to check the status.
- From the Home screen, scroll to and select Reports.
-
Open the following menus:
-
Configuration/Status Pages
-
Configuration Page
-
Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen. The report consists of several pages.
NOTE: The printer IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.
On the Fax Accessory Page of the Configuration Page, under the Hardware Information heading, check the Modem Status. The following table identifies the status conditions and possible solutions.
NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax accessory. If you are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those configurations could be disabling the feature.
| Operational / Enabled | The analog-fax accessory is installed and ready. |
| Operational / Disabled | The fax accessory is installed, but you have not configured the required fax settings yet.The fax accessory is installed and operational; however, the HP Digital Sencing utility has either disabled the printer fax feature or has enabled LAN fax. When LAN fax is enabled, the analog-fax feature is disabled. Only one fax feature, either LAN fax or analog fax can be enabled at a time. |
