HP EcoSolutions (HP and the Environment)
Hewlett-Packard is committed to helping you optimize your environmental footprint and empowering you to print responsibly—at home or in the office.
For more detailed information about environmental guidelines, HP follows during the manufacturing process, see Environmental product stewardship program on page 186. For more information about HP's environmental initiatives, visit www.hp.com/ecosolutions.
This section contains the following topics:
Manage Power
- Optimize Printing Supplies
Manage Power
To conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features:
Sleep mode
Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer goes into low-power mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.
To change the time to Sleep mode
From the printer control panel, touch the eco (eco button), touch Sleep, and then touch the desired option.

NOTE: If you change your country or region from the printer control panel, the time to sleep mode is automatically set to the default, which is 5 minutes.
Schedule On and Off
Use the printer's Schedule On and Off feature, and then select the days and time you want the printer to turn on and turn off automatically. For example, you can schedule the printer to turn on at 8 a.m. and turn off at 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In this way, you will save energy during the night and weekends.
To configure the printer's Schedule On and Off feature
From the printer control panel, touch the eco (eco button), touch Schedule On and Off, and then set the time to turn on and off the printer.

CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace a missing ink cartridge as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. Never turn off the printer when a cartridge is missing.
Optimize Printing Supplies
To optimize printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
Recycle used original HP ink cartridges through HP Planet Partners. For more information, visit www.hp.com/recycle.
- Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. If the printer has an HP automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer), see Print on both sides (duplexing) on page 39. Otherwise, you can first print just the odd pages, flip the pages over, and then print just the even pages.
- Save ink and paper when printing web content with HP Smart Print. For more information, visit www.hp.com/go/smartprint.
- Change the print mode to a draft setting. The draft setting uses less ink.
- Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. Doing so wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

Guidelines for scanning documents as editable text
To ensure that the software can convert your documents successfully, do the following:
Make sure the scanner glass or ADF window is clean.
When the printer scans the document, smudges or dust on the scanner glass or ADF window can be scanned, as well, and can prevent the software from converting the document to editable text.
Make sure the document is loaded correctly.
When scanning documents as editable text from the ADF, the original must be loaded into the ADF with the top forward and face up. When scanning from the scanner glass, the original must be loaded with the top facing the right edge of the scanner glass.
Also, make sure the document is not skewed. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 14 or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
Make sure the text on the document is clear.
To successfully convert the document to editable text, the original must be clear and of high quality. The following conditions can cause the software to not convert the document successfully:
The text on the original is faint or wrinkled.
The text is too small.
The structure of the document is too complex.
The text is tightly spaced. For example, if the text that the software converts has missing or combined characters, "rn" might appear as "m."
The text is on a colored background. Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend too much.
- Choose the correct profile.
Be sure to select a shortcut or preset that allows scanning as editable text. These options use scan settings designed to maximize the quality of your OCR scan. In Windows, use the Editable Text (OCR) or Save as PDF shortcuts. In Mac OS X, use the Documents preset.
- Save your file in the correct format.
If you want to extract just the text from the document, without any of the formatting of the original, select a plain text format (such as Text (.txt) or TXT). If you want to extract the text, as well as some of the formatting of the original, select Rich Text Format (such as Rich Text (.rtf) or RTF) or searchable PDF format (Searchable PDF (.pdf) or Searchable PDF).
4 Copy
You can produce high-quality color and grayscale copies on a variety of paper types and sizes.

NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the printer's memory until the copying finishes. As a result, the number of fax pages that can be stored in memory might be reduced.
This section contains the following topics:
- Copy documents
Change copy settings - Save copy settings

Send a fax manually from a phone
Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient before you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are going to send them a fax before sending it. When you send a fax manually, you can hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other
sounds through the handset on your telephone. This makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might answer the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the phone, you can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine answers the call, you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the fax tones from the receiving fax machine.
To send a fax manually from an extension phone
- Load your original print-side down in the left-rear corner of the scanner glass or print-side up in the ADF.
For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 14 or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
- Touch Fax.
- Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the printer.

NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the printer when manually sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the recipient's number.
- 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.
- When you are ready to send the fax, touch Black or Color.

NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax.
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 printer 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 the printer. This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing.

TIP: If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the printer might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN for your calling card. For more information, see Set up speed-dial entries on page 70.

NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on to hear a dial tone.
To send a fax using monitor dialing from the printer control panel

- Touch Fax, and then touch Settings.
- Touch Send Fax Later.
- Touch (Up arrow) and (Down arrow) to enter the send time, and then select Done.
- Enter the fax number by using the keypad, touch (Speed dial) to select a speed dial, or touch (Call history) to select a previously dialed or received number.
- Touch Start Fax.
The printer scans all pages and the scheduled time appears on the display. The fax is sent at the scheduled time.
To cancel a scheduled fax
- Touch Fax, touch Settings, and then touch Send Fax Later.

Send a fax to multiple recipients
You can send a fax to multiple recipients at once by grouping individual speed dial entries into group speed dial entries.
To send a fax to multiple recipients using group speed dial
- Load your originals. For additional information, see Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
- Touch Fax, touch Speed dial), and then select the recipient group.
- Touch Black.
If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, it sends the document to each number in the group speed dial entry.

NOTE: You can only use group speed dial entries to send faxes in black and white, because of memory limitations. The printer scans the fax into memory then dials the first number. When a connection is made, it sends the fax and dials the next number. If a number is busy or not answering, the printer follows the settings for Busy Redial and No Answer Redial. If a connection cannot be made, the next number is dialed and an error report is generated.
Send a fax in Error Correction Mode
Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is On. Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and if you can accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.
Before turning the ECM setting off, consider the following. If you turn ECM off:
The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.
The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.
- You can no longer send or receive faxes in color.
To change the ECM setting from the control panel
- From the printer control panel, touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.
- Select Error Correction Mode.
- Select On or Off.
Receive a fax
You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer option, you must receive faxes manually. If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the default setting), the printer automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes after the number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. (The default Rings to Answer setting is five rings.)
If you receive a Legal-size or larger fax and the printer is not currently set to use Legal-size paper, the printer reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled the Automatic Reduction feature, the printer prints the fax on two pages.

NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the printer memory until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages stored in memory.
Receive a fax manually
- Set up backup fax
- Reprint received faxes from memory
- Poll to receive a fax
- Forward taxes to another number
- Set the paper size for received faxes
- Set automatic reduction for incoming taxes
- Block unwanted fax numbers
Receive faxes to your computer using HP Digital Fax (Fax to PC and Fax to Mac)
Receive a fax manually
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking with can send you a fax while you are still connected. This is referred to as manual faxing. Use the instructions in this section to receive a manual fax.

NOTE: You can pick up the handset to talk or listen for fax tones.
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:
- Directly connected to the printer (on the 2-EXT port)
- On the same phone line, but not directly connected to the printer
To receive a fax manually
- Make sure the printer is turned on and you have paper loaded in the main tray.
- Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.
-
Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the incoming call before the printer answers. Or, turn off the Auto Answer setting so that the printer does not automatically answer incoming calls.
-
If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start on their fax machine.
- When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following:
a. Touch Fax, and then select Black or Color.
b. After the printer begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone or remain on the line. The phone line is silent during fax transmission.
Set up backup fax
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the printer to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the printer is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
To set backup fax from the printer control panel
- Touch (Right arrow), and then select Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.
- Touch Backup Fax Reception.
- Touch the required setting.
| On | The default setting. When Backup fax is On, the printer stores all received faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint up to 30 of the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory. |
| NOTE: When printer memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the printer stops answering incoming fax calls. | |
| NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations. | |
| On Error Only | Causes the printer to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists that prevents the printer from printing the faxes (for example, if the printer runs out of paper). The printer continues to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the printer stops answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from memory. |
| Off | Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn off Backup fax for security purposes. If an error condition occurs that prevents the printer from printing (for example, the printer runs out of paper), the printer stops answering incoming fax calls. |
Reprint received faxes from memory
If you set the Backup fax mode to On, the received faxes are stored in memory, whether the printer has an error condition or not.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten as new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the printer does not receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.
Depending on the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to eight of the most recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example, you might need to reprint your faxes if you lost the copy of your last printout.
To reprint faxes in memory from the printer control panel
- Make sure you have paper loaded in the main tray. For more information, see Load paper on page 16.
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, touch Fax Tools, and then select Reprint Faxes in Memory.
The faxes are printed in the reverse order from which they were received with the most recently received fax printed first, and so on.
- If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, touch the × (Cancel button).
Poll to receive a fax
- Polling allows the printer to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its queue. When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the printer calls the designated fax machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for polling and have a fax ready to send.

NOTE: The printer does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass codes are a security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a pass code to the printer it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the printer you are polling does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the default pass code) or the printer cannot receive the fax.
To set up poll to receive a fax from the printer control panel
- Touch Fax, and then touch Settings.
- Touch Poll to Receive.
- Enter the fax number of the other fax machine.
- Touch Start Fax.
Forward taxes to another number
You can set up the printer to forward your faxes to another fax number. If fax forwarding function is enabled, your printer can receive and forward the black-and-white faxes only.
Send a test fax to make sure the fax machine is able to receive your forwarded faxes.
To forward faxes from the printer control panel
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.
-
Touch Fax Forwarding
-
Touch On (Print and Forward) to print and forward the fax, or select On (Forward) to forward the fax.

NOTE: If the printer is not able to forward the fax to the designated fax machine (for example, if it is not turned on), the printer prints the fax. If you set up the printer to print error reports for received faxes, it also prints an error report.
- At the prompt, enter the number of the fax machine intended to receive the forwarded faxes, and then touch Done. Enter the required information for each of the following prompts: start date, start time, end date, and end time.
- Fax forwarding is activated. Touch OK to confirm.
If the printer loses power when fax forwarding is set up, it saves the fax forwarding setting and phone number. When the power is restored to the printer, the fax forwarding setting is still On.

NOTE: You can cancel fax forwarding by selecting Off from the Fax Forwarding menu.
Set the paper size for received faxes
You can select the paper size for received faxes. The paper size you select should match what is loaded in your main tray. Faxes can be printed on Letter, A4, or Legal paper only.

NOTE: If an incorrect paper size is loaded in the main tray when you receive a fax, the fax does not print and an error message appears on the display. Load Letter, A4, or Legal paper, and then touch OK to print the fax.
To set the paper size for received faxes from the printer control panel
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then select Basic Fax Setup.
- Touch Fax Paper Size, and then select an option.
Set automatic reduction for incoming taxes
The Automatic Reduction setting determines what the printer does if it receives a fax that is too large for the default paper size. This setting is turned on by default, so the image of the incoming fax is reduced to fit on one page, if possible. If this feature is turned off, information that does not fit on the first page is printed on a second page. Automatic Reduction is useful when you receive a Legal-size fax and Letter-size paper is loaded in the main tray.
To set automatic reduction from the printer control panel
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.
- Touch Automatic Reduction, and then select On or Off.
Block unwanted fax numbers
If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block specific fax numbers so the printer does not print faxes received from those numbers. When an incoming fax call is received, the printer compares the number to the list of junk fax numbers to determine if the call
should be blocked. If the number matches a number in the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not printed. (The maximum number of fax numbers you can block varies by model.)

NOTE: This feature is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not supported in your country/region, Junk Fax Blocker does not appear in the Fax Options or Fax Settings menu.

NOTE: If no phone numbers are added in the Caller ID list, it is assumed that you are not subscribed to a Caller ID service.

- Touch Auto Answer, and then select On or Off.
Set the number of rings before answering
If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are automatically answered.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the printer, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the printer does. The number of rings to answer for the printer should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the printer monitors the line. If the printer detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message.
To set the number of rings before answering
- Touch (Right arrow), and then ttouch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
- Touch Rings to Answer.
- Touch (Up arrow) or (Down arrow) to change the number of rings.

Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is assigned a different ring pattern. You can set up the printer to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect the printer to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the printer detects the specified ring pattern, it answers the call and receives the fax.

TIP: You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer control panel to set distinctive ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of an incoming call and, based on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to fax calls.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All Rings.

NOTE: The printer cannot receive taxes when the main phone number is off the hook.
To change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring
- Verify that the printer is set to answer fax calls automatically.
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.

Touch Distinctive Ring.
-
A message appears stating that this setting should not be changed unless you have multiple numbers on the same telephone line. Touch Yes to continue.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Touch the ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to fax calls.
-Or- - Touch Ring Pattern Detection, and then follow the instructions on the printer control panel.

NOTE: If the Ring Pattern Detection feature cannot detect the ring pattern or if you cancel the feature before it finishes, the ring pattern is automatically set to the default, which is All Rings.

NOTE: If you are using a PBX phone system that has different ring patterns for internal and external calls, you must call the fax number from an external number.
Set the dial type
Use this procedure to set tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is Tone. Do not change the setting unless you know that your phone line cannot use tone dialing.

NOTE: The pulse-dialing option is not available in all countries/regions.

- Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
- Touch (Down arrow), and then touch Dial Type.
- Touch to select Tone Dialing or Pulse Dialing.
Set the radial options
If the printer was unable to send a fax because the receiving fax machine did not answer or was busy, the printer attempts to radial based on the settings for the busy-renal and no-answer-renal options. Use the following procedure to turn the options on or off.
- Busy radial: If this option is turned on, the printer redials automatically if it receives a busy signal. The factory-set default for this option is On.
- No answer redial: If this option is turned on, the printer redials automatically if the receiving fax machine does not answer. The factory-set default for this option is Off.
To set the radial options
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Advanced Fax Setup.
- Touch Busy Redial or No Answer Redial, and then select the appropriate options.
Set the fax speed
You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your printer and other fax machines when sending and receiving faxes.
If you use one of the following, setting the fax speed to a slower speed might be required:
An Internet phone service
A PBX system
Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)
An integrated services digital network (ISDN) service
If you experience problems sending and receiving faxes, try using a lower Fax Speed. The following table provides the available fax speed settings.
| Fax speed setting | Fax speed |
| Fast | v.34 (33600 baud) |
| Medium | v.17 (14400 baud) |
| Slow | v.29 (9600 baud) |
To set the fax speed
- Touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.

Fax and digital phone services
Many telephone companies provide their customers with digital phone services, such as the following:
- DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system.
ISDN: An integrated services digital network (ISDN) system. - FoIP: A low-cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP). For more information, see Fax over Internet Protocol on page 77.
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. If you are in a digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, or ISDN), you might need to use digital-to-analog filters or converters when setting up the printer for faxing.

NOTE: HP does not guarantee that the printer will be compatible with all digital service lines or providers, in all digital environments, or with all digital-to-analog converters. It is always recommended that you discuss with the telephone company directly for the correct setup options based on their line services provided.
Fax over Internet Protocol
You might be able to subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP).
You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) when you:
- Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or
- Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone ports for the fax connection.

NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port labeled "1-LINE" on the printer. This means that your connection to the Internet must be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks for fax connections) or your telephone company.

TIP: Support for traditional fax transmission over any Internet protocol telephone systems are often limited. If you experience problems faxing, try using a slower fax speed or disabling the fax error-correction mode (ECM). However, if you turn off ECM, you cannot send and receive color faxes. (For more information about changing the fax speed, see Set the fax speed on page 74. For more information about using ECM, see Send a fax in Error Correction Mode on page 60.
If you have questions about Internet faxing, contact your Internet faxing services support department or your local service provider for further assistance.
Use reports
You can set up the printer to print error reports and confirmation reports automatically for each fax you send and receive. You can also manually print system reports as required; these reports provide useful system information about the printer.
By default, the printer is set to print a report only if there is a problem sending or receiving a fax. A confirmation message that indicates whether a fax was successfully sent appears briefly on the control panel display after each transaction.

NOTE: If the reports are not legible, you can check the estimated ink levels from the control panel or the HP software. For more information, see Printer management tools on page 245.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.

NOTE: Ensure that the printheads and ink cartridges are in good conditions and installed properly. For more information, see Work with ink cartridges on page 88.

To ensure the best print quality from the printer, you need to perform some simple maintenance procedures.

TIP: If you have problems copying documents, see Print quality troubleshooting on page 106.

Information on ink cartridges and the printhead
- Check the estimated ink levels
- Printing with black or color ink only
- Replace the ink cartridges

Information on ink cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
The instructions in this user guide are for replacing ink cartridges, and are not intended for first time installation.
- Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
- Be sure to turn off the printer properly. For more information, see Turn the printer off on page 26.
- Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15-35°C or 59-95°F).
- Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
- Handle ink cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary printing problems.
- If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the printer or other damage from occurring to the printer:
Make sure you turn off the printer by pressing the (Power) button. Wait until all sounds of internal motion stop before unplugging the printer. For more information, see Turn the printer off on page 26.
o Make sure you leave the ink cartridges installed.
The printer must be transported sitting flat; it should not be placed on its side, back, front, or top.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
Related topics
- Check the estimated ink levels on page 90
Check the estimated ink levels
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or from the printer control panel. For information about using these tools, see Printer management tools on page 245 and Use the printer control panel on page 7. You can also print the Printer Status page to view this information (see Understand the Printer Status Report on page 149).
To check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel
- On the printer control panel, touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Touch Tools, and then touch Display Estimated Ink Levels.
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
Printing with black or color ink only
For regular usage, this product is not designed to print using only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink.
However, your printer is designed to let you print as long as possible when your cartridges start to run out of ink.
When there is sufficient ink in the printhead, the printer will offer you the use of black ink only when one or more of the color cartridges are out of ink, and the use of color ink only when the black cartridge is out of ink.
- The amount that you can print using black or color ink only is limited, so have replacement ink cartridges available when you are printing with black or color ink only.
- When there is no longer sufficient ink to print you will get a message that one or more cartridges are depleted, and you will need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing.
CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer, the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period, or if you have had a recent paper jam, and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead on page 153.
Replace the ink cartridges

NOTE: For information on recycling used ink supplies, see HP inkjet supplies recycling program on page 187.
If you do not already have replacement ink cartridges for the printer, see HP supplies and accessories on page 202.

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP web site are available in English only.

NOTE: Not all cartridges are available in all countries/regions.

CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
To replace the ink cartridges
Use these steps to replace the ink cartridges.
- Make sure the printer is turned on.
- Open the ink cartridge access door.

NOTE: Wait until the print carriage stops moving before proceeding.
- Press the front of the ink cartridge to release it, and then remove it from the slot.


-
Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.
-
Using the color-coded letters for help, slide the ink cartridge into the empty slot until it is securely installed in the slot.


Make sure that you insert the ink cartridge into the slot that has the same colored letter as the color you are installing.

- Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each ink cartridge you are replacing.
- Close the print-carriage access door.

Store printing supplies
Ink cartridges can be left in the printer for extended periods of time. However, to assure optimal ink cartridge health, be sure to turn off the printer properly. For more information, see Turn the printer off on page 26.
Anonymous usage information storage
The HP cartridges used with this printer contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the printer. In addition, this memory chip stores a limited set of anonymous information about the usage of the printer, which might include the following: the date when the cartridge was first installed, the date when the cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the cartridge, the page coverage, frequency of printing, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the printer model.
This information helps HP design future printers to meet our customers' printing needs. The data collected from the cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a customer or user of the cartridge or their printer.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/recycle/). The memory chips from this sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP printers. HP partners who assist in recycling this cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the memory chip. If you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render the memory chip inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP printer.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this information inaccessible by turning off the memory chip's ability to collect the printer's usage information.
To disable the usage information function
- On the printer control panel, touch (Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
- Select Preferences, and then touch Cartridge Chip Information.
- Touch OK to disable usage information collection.

NOTE: To re-enable the usage information function, restore the factory defaults. For more information about how to restore the defaults, see Restore factory defaults on page 23.

NOTE: You can continue to use the cartridge in the HP printer if you turn off the memory chip's ability to collect the printer's usage information.

- Alignment fails
The printer is not responding (nothing prints)
The printer prints slowly
- Blank or partial page printed
- Something on the page is missing or incorrect
- Placement of the text or graphics is wrong
The printer shuts down unexpectedly
Check the power and power connections
- Make sure the printer's power cord is connected firmly to a functioning power outlet. For voltage requirements, see Electrical specifications on page 175.
The printer is making some unexpected noises
You might hear some unexpected noises made by the printer. These are the servicing sounds when the printer performs automatic servicing functions to maintain the health of the printheads.

NOTE: To prevent any potential damage to your printer:
Do not turn off the printer while the printer is performing any servicing. If you are turning off the printer, wait for the printer to come to a complete stop before turning off using the (Power) button. For more information, see Turn the printer off on page 26.
Make sure all ink cartridges are installed. If any of the ink cartridge is missing, the printer will perform extra servicing to protect the printheads.
Alignment fails
If the alignment process fails, make sure you have loaded unused, plain white paper into the input tray. If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the ink cartridges, the alignment fails.
If the alignment process fails repeatedly, you may need to clean the printhead, or you might have a defective sensor. To clean the printhead, see Clean the printhead on page 153.
If cleaning the printhead does not solve the problem, contact HP support. Go to www.hp.com/support. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems. If prompted, select your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.
The printer is not responding (nothing prints)
There are print jobs stuck in the print queue
- Open the print queue, cancel all documents, and then reboot the computer. Try to print after the computer reboots. Refer to the Help system for the operating system for more information.
Check the printer setup
For more information, see General troubleshooting tips and resources on page 100.
Check the HP software installation
- If the printer is turned off when printing, an alert message should appear on your computer screen; otherwise, the HP software provided with the printer might not be installed correctly. To resolve this, uninstall the HP software completely, and then reinstall the HP software. For more information, see Uninstall and reinstall the HP software on page 156.
Check the cable connections
- Make sure both ends of the USB cable or Ethernet cable are secure.
If the printer is connected to a network, check the following:
Check the Link light on the back of the printer.
Make sure you are not using a phone cord to connect the printer.
Check any personal firewall software installed on the computer
- The personal software firewall is a security program that protects a computer from intrusion. However, the firewall might block communication between the computer and the printer. If there is a problem communicating with the printer, try temporarily disabling the firewall. If the problem persists, the firewall is not the source of the communication problem. Re-enable the firewall.
The printer prints slowly
Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly.
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution 3: Contact HP support
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
The print quality was set to a higher setting.
Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.
Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.

CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer, the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead on page 153.
For more information, see:
- Check the estimated ink levels on page 90
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Contact HP support
There was a problem with the printer.
Contact HP support for service.
Go to: www.hp.com/support. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.
If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.
Blank or partial page printed
Clean the printhead
- Complete the printhead cleaning procedure. The printhead may need to be cleaned if the printer was turned off incorrectly.

NOTE: Incorrectly turning off the printer can cause print quality problems like blank or partial pages. Printhead cleaning can solve these problems, but turning off the printer correctly can prevent them in the first place. Always turn the printer off by pressing the (Power) button on the printer. Wait until the (Power) button light goes out before unplugging the power cord or turning off a power strip.
Check the paper settings
- Make sure you select the correct print quality settings in the printer driver for the paper loaded in the trays.
Make sure the page settings in the printer driver match the page size of paper loaded in the tray.
More than one page is being picked
For more information on paper-feed problems, see Solve paper-feed problems on page 110.
There is a blank page in the file
- Check the file to make sure there is no blank page.
Something on the page is missing or incorrect
Check the Print Quality Diagnostic page
- Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page to help you decide whether to run any maintenance tools to improve the print quality of your printouts. For more information, see Understand the Printer Status Report on page 149.
Check the margin settings
- Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the printer. For more information, see Set minimum margins on page 170.
TIP: If the top and bottom margins in your document are smaller than 16 mm (0.63 inches), the document might not print out correct.
Check the color print settings
Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.
Check the printer location and length of USB cable
- High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.
Check the paper size
- Make sure the selected paper size matches the actual loaded paper size.
Placement of the text or graphics is wrong
Check how the paper is loaded
- Make sure the paper guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack of paper, and make sure the tray is not overloaded. For more information, see Load paper on page 16.
Check the paper size
- Content on a page might be cut off if the document size is larger than the paper that you are using.
Make sure the paper size selected in the printer driver match the size of paper loaded in the tray.
Check the margin settings
- If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer. For more information, see Set minimum margins on page 170.
Check the page-orientation setting
- Make sure the paper size and page orientation selected in the application match the settings in the printer driver. For more information, see Print on page 27.
Check the printer location and length of USB cable
- High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.
If the above solutions do not work, the problem may be caused by the inability of the application to interpret print settings correctly. See the release notes for known software conflicts, refer to the application's documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for specific help.

TIP: If you are using a computer running Windows, you can visit the HP online support website at www.hp.com/support. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.
Print quality troubleshooting
Try the solutions in this section to resolve print quality problems in your printout.
Solution 1: Make sure you are using original HP ink cartridges
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution 3: Check the paper loaded in the input tray
Solution 4: Check the paper type
Solution 5: Check the print settings
Solution 6: Print and evaluate a print quality report
Solution 7: Contact HP support
Solution 1: Make sure you are using original HP ink cartridges
Non-HP ink cartridges were being used.
Check to see if your ink cartridges are original HP ink cartridges.
HP recommends that you use original HP ink cartridges. Original HP ink cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time.

NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Printer service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply are not covered under warranty.
If you believe you purchased original HP ink cartridges, go to:
www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.
Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.

CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer, the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period, or if you have had a recent paper jam, and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead on page 153.
For more information, see:
- Check the estimated ink levels on page 90
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Check the paper loaded in the input tray
The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick.
Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too thick.
- Load paper with the print side facing down. For example, if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
- Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope.
For more information, see:
- Load paper on page 16
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Check the paper type
The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.
HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type with ColorLok technology that is appropriate for the printer. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling.

NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore, replacing the ink cartridges is not necessary.
For more information, see:
- Select print paper on page 11
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 5: Check the print settings
The print settings were set incorrectly.
Check the print settings.
- Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect.
For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are set to modify the appearance of colors.
- Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the printer.
You might need to choose a lower print quality setting if colors are running into each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo, and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper is loaded in the input tray.

NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the printer, print settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required.
For more information, see:
- Select print paper on page 11
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 6: Print and evaluate a print quality report
Print quality problems can have many causes: software settings, a poor image file, or the printing system itself. If you are unhappy with the quality of your prints, a Print Quality Diagnostic page can help you determine if the printing system is working correctly.
To print a print quality report
- Control panel: Touch (Right arrow), touch Setup, touch Reports, and then touch Print Quality Report.
- Embedded web server: Click the Tools tab, click Print Quality Toolbox under Utilities, and then click the Print Quality Report button.
HP Utility (Mac OS X): In the Information And Support section, click Print Quality Diagnostics, and then click Print.
Print quality diagnostic page
If defects are seen on the page, follow the steps below:
- If the lines in Test Pattern 1 are not straight and connected, align the printer. For more information, see Align the printhead on page 154.
- If you see white lines in any of the color blocks in Test Pattern 2, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead on page 153.
- If you see white or dark lines where the arrows are pointing in Test Pattern 3, align the printer. For more information, see Align the printhead on page 154.
If there are no defects, then the printer and ink system are working properly. If you still see print quality problems in your output, double-check your software settings and paper as described in the previous solutions.
Solution 7: Contact HP support
There was a problem with the printhead.

- Scanner did nothing
- Scan takes too long
Part of the document did not scan or text is missing
Text cannot be edited - Error messages appear
- Scanned image quality is poor
- Scan defects are apparent
Scanner did nothing
Check the original
o Make sure that the original is loaded correctly. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 14 or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
Check the printer
The printer might be coming out of Sleep mode after a period of inactivity, which delays processing a short while. Wait until the printer displays the Home screen.
- Check the HP software
Make sure that the HP software provided with the printer is installed correctly.

NOTE: If you do not scan frequently, you can choose to turn off the feature.
Windows: Open the HP printer software. For more information, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 25. In the window that appears, select Print, Scan & Fax or Print & Scan, and then select Scan a Document or Photo under Scan.
Mac OS X: Open HP Utility. For more information, see HP Utility (Mac OS X) on page 247. Under Scan Settings, click Scan to Computer, and ensure that Enable Scan to Computer is selected.
Scan takes too long
- Check the settings
Scanning with higher scan resolution takes longer and results in larger file sizes. Use high resolutions only when necessary. Lower the resolution to scan more quickly.
If you acquire an image through TWAIN on Windows computers, you can change the settings so that the original scans in black and white. See the on-screen Help for the
TWAIN program for information. You can also change scan settings to black and white in the HP scanning software for Mac.
- Check the status of the printer
If you sent a print or copy job before you tried to scan, the scan starts if the scanner is not busy. However, the printing and scanning processes share memory, which means that the scan might be slower.
Part of the document did not scan or text is missing
Check the original
Make sure that you loaded the original correctly. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 14 or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
If you scanned the document from the ADF, try scanning the document directly from the scanner glass. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 14.
- Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend into the background. Try adjusting the settings before you scan the original, or try enhancing the image after you scan the original.
- Check the settings
o Make sure that the input paper size is large enough for the original that you are scanning.
If you are using the HP Printer Software, the default settings in the HP Printer Software might be set to automatically perform a specific task other than the one that you are attempting. See the on-screen Help for the HP Printer Software for instructions about changing the properties.

To install this software, place the HP software CD into the computer, double-click the HP Installer icon on the software CD, and when prompted, select the HP Recommended Software option.
When you scan the original, make sure that you select a document type in the software that creates editable text. If text is classified as a graphic, it is not converted to text.
If you are using a separate OCR (optical character recognition) program, the OCR program might be linked to a word-processing program that does not perform OCR tasks. For more information, see the documentation provided with the OCR program.
Make sure you have selected an OCR language that corresponds to the language used for the document you are scanning. For more information, see the documentation provided with the OCR program.
Check the originals
When scanning documents as editable text from the ADF, the original must be loaded into the ADF with the top forward and face up. When scanning from the scanner glass, the original must be loaded with the top facing the right edge of the scanner glass. Also, make sure the document is not skewed. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 14 or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
The software might not recognize text that is tightly spaced. For example, if the text that the software converts has missing or combined characters, "rn" might appear as "m."
The accuracy of the software depends on the image quality, text size, and structure of the original and the quality of the scan itself. Make sure that your original has good image quality.
- Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend too much.
Error messages appear
- Unable to activate TWAIN source or An error occurred while acquiring the image
If you are acquiring an image from another device, such as another scanner, make sure that the other device is TWAIN-compliant. Devices that are not TWAIN-compliant do not work with the HP software provided with the printer.
If you are using a USB connection, make sure that you have connected the USB Device Cable to the correct port on the back of your computer.
Verify that the correct TWAIN source is selected. In the HP software, check the TWAIN source by selecting Select Scanner on the File menu.
- Reload document and then restart job
Touch OK on the printer control panel, and then reload the remaining documents in the ADF. For more information, see Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
Scanned image quality is poor
The original is a second-generation photo or picture
Reprinted photographs, such as those in newspapers or magazines, are printed by using tiny dots of ink that make an interpretation of the original photograph, which degrades the quality. Often, the ink dots form unwanted patterns that can be detected when the image is scanned or printed or when the image appears on a screen. If the following suggestions do not solve the problem, you might need to use a better-quality version of the original.
To eliminate the patterns, try reducing the size of the image after scanning.
Print the scanned image to see if the quality is better.
o Make sure that the resolution and color settings are correct for the type of scan job.
For best results, use the scanner glass for scanning rather than the ADF.
Text or images on the back of a two-sided original appear in the scan
Two-sided originals can "bleed" text or images from the back side to the scan if the originals are printed on paper that is too thin or too transparent.
The scanned image is skewed (crooked)
The original might have been loaded incorrectly. Be sure to use the paper guides when you load the originals into the ADF. For more information, see Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 15.
For best results, use the scanner glass for scanning rather than the ADF.
The image quality is better when printed

- Make sure you have correctly connected the printer to the telephone wall jack. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
- Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be causing the test to fail. To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run the test again.
If the Fax Line Condition Test passes without the other equipment, then one or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece of equipment is causing the problem.
If the Fax Line Condition Test fails without the other equipment, connect the printer to a working phone line and continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this section.
- If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
- Make sure you use the phone cord that came with the printer. If you do not use the supplied phone cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, you might not be able to send or receive faxes. After you plug in the phone cord that came with the printer, run the fax test again.
After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready for faxing. If the Fax Line Condition test continues to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact your telephone company and have them check the phone line.
The display always shows Phone Off Hook
- You are using the wrong type of phone cord. Make sure you are using the 2-wire phone cord that came with the printer to connect the printer to your phone line. If the phone cord that came with the printer is not long enough, you can use a longer phone cord to extend the length. You can purchase the cord at an electronics store that carries phone accessories.
- Other equipment that uses the same phone line as the printer might be in use. Make sure extension phones (phones on the same phone line, but not connected to the printer) or other equipment are not in use or off the hook. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send email or access the Internet.
The printer is having problems sending and receiving faxes
- Make sure the printer is turned on. Look at the display on the printer. If the display is blank and the (Power) button light is not lit, the printer is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the printer and plugged into a power outlet. Press the (Power) button to turn on the printer.
After turning on the printer, HP recommends you wait five minutes before sending or receiving a fax. The printer cannot send or receive faxes while it is initializing after being turned on.
- If Fax to PC or Fax to Mac has been enabled, you might not be able to send or receive faxes if the fax memory is full (limited by printer memory).
- Make sure you used the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the telephone wall jack. One end of the phone cord should be connected to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer and the other end to your telephone wall jack, as shown in the illustration.

| 1 | Telephone wall jack |
| 2 | Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the "1-LINE" port |
If the phone cord that came with the printer is not long enough, you can use a longer 2-wire phone cord to extend the length. You can purchase the cord at an electronics store that carries phone accessories.
- Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the printer and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, call your local telephone company for service.
- Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be in use. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send an email or access the Internet.
- Check to see if another process has caused an error. Check the display or your computer for an error message providing information about the problem and how to solve it. If there is an error, the printer cannot send or receive a fax until the error condition is resolved.
- The phone line connection might be noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. Check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If you hear noise, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing again. For information about changing ECM, see Send a fax in Error Correction Mode on page 60. If the problem persists, contact your telephone company.
- If you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service, make sure that you have a DSL filter connected or you cannot fax successfully. For more information, see Case B: Set up the printer with DSL on page 210.
- Make sure the printer is not connected to a telephone wall jack that is set up for digital phones. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones.
- If you are using either a private branch exchange (PBX) or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) converter/terminal adapter, make sure the printer is connected to the correct port and the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/region, if possible. For more information, see Case C: Set up the printer with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line on page 211.
- If the printer shares the same phone line with a DSL service, the DSL modem might not be grounded correctly. If the DSL modem is not grounded correctly, it can create noise on the phone line. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. You can check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If you hear noise, turn off your DSL modem and completely remove power for at least 15 minutes. Turn the DSL modem back on and listen to the dial tone again.

NOTE: You might notice static on the phone line again in the future. If the printer stops sending and receiving faxes, repeat this process.
If the phone line is still noisy, contact your telephone company. For information on turning your DSL modem off, contact your DSL provider for support.
- If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
The printer is having problems sending a manual fax

NOTE: This possible solution applies only in the countries/regions that receive a 2-wire phone cord in the box with the printer, including: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latin America, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, USA, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
- Make sure the telephone you use to initiate the fax call is connected directly to the printer. To send a fax manually, the telephone must be connected directly to the port labeled 2-EXT on the printer, as shown in the illustration.

| 1 | Telephone wall jack |
| 2 | Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the "1-LINE" port |
| 3 | Telephone |
- If you are sending a fax manually from your phone that is connected directly to the printer, you must use the keypad on the telephone to send the fax. You cannot use the keypad on the printer control panel.

NOTE: If using a serial-type phone system, connect your phone directly on top of the printer cable which has a wall plug attached to it.
The printer cannot receive faxes, but can send faxes
- If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to make sure that the Distinctive Ring feature on the printer is set to All Rings. For more information, see Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring on page 73.
- If Auto Answer is set to Off, you need to receive faxes manually; otherwise, the printer cannot receive the fax. For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually on page 62.
- If you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls, you must receive faxes manually, not automatically. This means that you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. For information on setting up the printer when you have a voice mail service, see Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail on page 214. For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually on page 62.
-
If you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line with the printer, check to make sure that the software that came with your modem is not set to receive faxes automatically. Modems that are set up to receive faxes automatically take over the phone line to receive all incoming faxes, which prevents the printer from receiving fax calls.
-
If you have an answering machine on the same phone line with the printer, you might have one of the following problems:
Your answering machine might not be set up correctly with the printer.
Your outgoing message might be too long or too loud to allow the printer to detect fax tones, and the sending fax machine might disconnect.
Your answering machine might not have enough quiet time after your outgoing message to allow the printer to detect fax tones. This problem is most common with digital answering machines.
The following actions might help solve these problems:
When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the printer as described in Case I: Shared voice/fax line with answering machine on page 221.
Make sure the printer is set to receive faxes automatically. For information on setting up the printer to receive faxes automatically, see Receive a fax on page 62.
o Make sure the Rings to Answer setting is set to a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For more information, see Set the number of rings before answering on page 73.
o Disconnect the answering machine and then try receiving a fax. If faxing is successful without the answering machine, the answering machine might be causing the problem.
Reconnect the answering machine and record your outgoing message again. Record a message that is approximately 10 seconds in duration. Speak slowly and at a low volume when recording your message. Leave at least 5 seconds of silence at the end of the voice message. There should be no background noise when recording this silent time. Try to receive a fax again.
NOTE: Some digital answering machines might not retain the recorded silence at the end of your outgoing message. Play back your outgoing message to check.
- If the printer shares the same phone line with other types of phone equipment, such as an answering machine, a computer dial-up modem, or a multi-port switch box, the fax signal level might be reduced. The signal level can also be reduced if you use a splitter or connect extra cables to extend the length of your phone. A reduced fax signal can cause problems during fax reception.
To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything except the printer from the phone line, and then try to receive a fax. If you can receive faxes successfully without the other equipment, one or more pieces of the other equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and receiving a fax each time, until you identify which equipment is causing the problem.
- If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using a distinctive ring service through your telephone company), make sure that the Distinctive Ring feature on the printer is set to match. For more information, see Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring on page 73.
The printer cannot send faxes, but can receive faxes
- The printer might be dialing too fast or too soon. You might need to insert some pauses in the number sequence. For example, if you need to access an outside line before dialing the phone
number, insert a pause following the access number. If your number is 95555555, and 9 accesses an outside line, you might insert pauses as follows: 9-555-5555. To enter a pause in the fax number you are typing, touch the * button repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.
You can also send the fax using monitor dialing. This enables you to listen to the phone line as you dial. You can set the pace of your dialing and respond to prompts as you dial. For more information, see Send a fax using monitor dialing on page 58.
- The number you entered when sending the fax is not in the proper format or the receiving fax machine is having problems. To check this, try calling the fax number from a telephone and listen for fax tones. If you cannot hear fax tones, the receiving fax machine might not be turned on or connected, or a voice mail service could be interfering with the recipient's phone line. You can also ask the recipient to check the receiving fax machine for any problems.
Fax tones are recorded on my answering machine
- When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the printer as described in Case I: Shared voice/ fax line with answering machine on page 221. If you do not connect the answering machine as recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your answering machine.
- Make sure the printer is set to receive faxes automatically and that the Rings to Answer setting is correct. The number of rings to answer for the printer should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine. If the answering machine and the printer are set to the same number of rings to answer, both devices answer the call and fax tones are recorded on the answering machine.
- Set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to answer in the maximum number of rings supported. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the printer monitors the line. If the printer detects fax tones, the printer receives the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message. For more information, see Set the number of rings before answering on page 73.
The phone cord that came with my printer is not long enough
If the phone cord that came with the printer is not long enough, you can use a longer 2-wire phone cord to extend the length. You can purchase the cord at an electronics store that carries phone accessories.

TIP: If the printer came with a 2-wire phone cord adaptor, you can use it with a 4-wire phone cord to extend the length. For information on using the 2-wire phone cord adaptor, see the documentation that came with it.
To extend your phone cord
- Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
- Connect another phone cord and the open port on the coupler and to the telephone wall jack.
Color faxes do not print
Turning the Incoming Fax Printing option off causes the color fax cannot print.
- To print color faxes, make sure that the Incoming Fax Printing option in the printer control panel is turned on.
The computer cannot receive taxes (Fax to PC and Fax to Mac)
Cause
The computer selected to receive faxes is turned off.
o Make sure the computer selected to receive faxes is switched on at all times.
- Different computers are configured for setup and receiving faxes and one of them may be switched off.
If the computer receiving faxes is different from the one used for setup, both computers should be switched on at all times.
-
Fax to PC or Fax to Mac is not activated or the computer is not configured to receive faxes.
-
Activate Fax to PC or Fax to Mac and make sure the computer is configured to receive taxes.

TIP: You can visit the HP online support website at www.hp.com/support for information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.
Configure your firewall software to work with the printer
A personal firewall, which is security software running on your computer, can block network communication between your printer and your computer.
If you are having problems such as:
- Printer not found when installing HP software
- Unable to print, print job stuck in queue or printer goes offline
- Scan communication errors or scanner busy messages
- Unable to see printer status on your computer
The firewall might be preventing your printer from notifying computers on your network where it can be found.
If you are using the HP software on a computer running Windows and cannot find the printer during installation (and you know the printer is on the network)—or if you have already successfully installed HP software and experience problems—check the following:
- If you have just installed the HP software, try turning off your computer and the printer, and then turning them both on again.
- Keep your security software up to date. Many security software vendors provide updates that correct known issues and provide the latest defenses against new security threats.
- If your firewall has "High," "Medium," or "Low" security settings, use the "Medium" setting when your computer is connected to your network.
If you have changed any firewall settings from default, try going back to the default setting. - If your firewall has a setting called "trusted zone," use this setting when your computer is connected to your network.
- If your firewall has a setting to "not show alert messages," you should disable this. When installing the HP software and using the HP printer you may see alert messages from your firewall software that provide options to "allow," "permit" or "unblock." You should allow any HP software that causes an alert. Also, if the alert has a "remember this action" or "create a rule for this" selection, select it. This is how the firewall learns what can be trusted on your network.
- Do not have more than one firewall enabled at the same time on your computer. An example would be having both the Windows firewall provided by the operating system and a third party firewall enabled at the same time. Having more than one firewall enabled at the same time will not make you computer any safer and may cause problems.
For more information about using your printer with personal firewall software, visit www.hp.com/go/ wirelessprinting, and then click Firewall Help in the Wireless Network Help section.

Clear paper jams
- Avoid paper jams
Clear paper jams
Paper jams can occur either inside the printer or in the automatic document feeder.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the printhead, clear paper jams as soon as possible.
Tip: If you notice poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead on page 153.
Use these steps to clear a paper jam.
To clear a jam inside the printer
- Remove all paper from the output tray.
CAUTION: Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the printer can damage the print mechanism. Always access and clear paper jams through the automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer).
- Check the duplexer.
a. Push the buttons on either side of the duplexer, and then remove the duplexer.

b. Locate any jammed paper inside the printer, grasp it with both hands, and then pull it towards you.
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper jams are likely to occur.
c. If the jam is not there, push the latch on top of the duplexer and lower the cover. If paper is jammed inside, carefully remove it. Close the cover.
d. Reinsert the duplexer into the printer until it snaps into place.
- Check the front of the printer.
a. Open the ink cartridge access door.
b. If there is paper remaining inside the printer, ensure the carriage has moved to the right of the printer, free any paper scraps or wrinkled media, and pull paper towards you through the front of the printer.

c. Move the carriage to the left, locate any jammed paper inside the printer on the right side of the carriage, free any paper scraps or wrinkled paper, and pull the paper towards you through the front of the printer.

WARNING! Do not reach into the printer when it is turned on and the carriage is stuck. When you open the ink cartridge access door, the carriage should return to its position on the right side of the printer. If it does not move to the right, turn off the printer before you remove any jam.
- After clearing the jam, close all covers, turn on the printer (if you turned it off) and resend the print job.
To clear a paper jam in the automatic document feeder
- Lift the cover of the automatic document feeder.

- Lift the tab located on the front edge of the ADF.
- Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might remain inside the printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper jams are likely to occur.
- Close the cover of the automatic document feeder, pressing down firmly until it snaps into place.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
- Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
Make sure that you are printing with paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag. - Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.
- Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more information, see Load paper on page 16.
- Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
- Do not place too much paper in the document feeder tray. For information on the maximum number of sheets allowed in the automatic document feeder, see Paper specifications on page 167.
- 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.
- If you are printing on both sides of a page, do not print highly saturated images on light weight paper.
-
Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see Paper specifications on page 167.
-
If the printer is about to run out of paper, allow the printer to run out of paper first, and then add paper. Do not try to add paper when the printer is trying to pick up a sheet.
Make sure that the printer is clean. For more information, see Maintain the printer on page 22.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
Always use paper that conforms to the printer specifications. For more information, see Paper specifications on page 167.
- Specify two-sided printing options in your application or in the printer driver.
- Do not print on both sides of envelopes, photo paper, glossy paper, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60g / m^2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105g / m^2) . Jams might occur with these paper types.
- Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with the print side facing down.
- For auto-duplexing, when printing finishes on one side of the paper, the printer holds the paper and pauses while the ink dries. Once the ink dries, the paper is pulled back into the printer and the second side is printed. When printing is complete, the paper is dropped onto the output tray. Do not grab it before printing is complete.
- You can print on both sides of supported custom-size paper by turning the paper over and feeding it into the printer again. For more information, see Paper specifications on page 167.

C Additional fax setup
After completing all the steps in the getting started guide, use the instructions in this section to complete your fax setup. Keep your getting started guide for later use.
In this section, you learn how to set up the printer so that faxing works successfully with equipment and services you might already have on the same phone line.

TIP: You can also use the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Setup Assistant (Mac OS X) to help you quickly set up some important fax settings such as the answer mode and fax header information. You can access these tools through the HP software you installed with the printer. After you run these tools, follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.
This section contains the following topics:
- Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
- Serial-type fax setup
Test fax setup
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
Before you begin setting up the printer for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/ region uses. The instructions for fax setup differ depending on whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone system.
- If you do not see your country/region listed in the table, you probably have a serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines) does not allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the printer. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.

NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone cord that came with the printer might have an additional wall plug attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug in the printer.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/ region.
- If your country/region is listed in the table, you probably have a parallel-type telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of the printer.

NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the printer to connect it to the telephone wall jack.
Table C-1 Countries/regions with a parallel-type phone system
| Argentina | Australia | Brazil |
| Canada | Chile | China |
| Colombia | Greece | India |

-
Distinctive ring service: A distinctive ring service through your telephone company provides multiple telephone numbers with different ring patterns.
Voice calls: Voice calls are received at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the printer.
- Computer dial-up modem: A computer dial-up modem is on the same phone line as the printer. If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial-up modem:
Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software applications through a dial-up connection?
Do you send and receive email messages on your computer through a dial-up connection?
o Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection?
- Answering machine: An answering machine that answers voice calls at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the printer.
-
Voice mail service: A voice mail subscription through your telephone company at the same number you use for fax calls on the printer.
-
From the following table, select the combination of equipment and services applicable to your home or office setting. Then look up the recommended fax setup. Step-by-step instructions are included for each case in the sections that follow.

NOTE: If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the printer as you would a regular analog phone. Make sure you use the phone cord supplied in the box to connect one end to your telephone wall jack and the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer. If you use another phone cord, you might experience problems sending and receiving faxes.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.

To set up the printer with a separate fax line
- Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.

NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, 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.
- Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
- (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
- Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the printer answers automatically after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
Case B: Set up the printer with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any equipment to the printer, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the printer. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the printer, so the printer can communicate correctly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/ region.)

NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you cannot send and receive faxes with the printer.

Figure C-2 Back view of the printer
| 1 | Telephone wall jack |
| 2 | DSL (or ADSL) filter and cord supplied by your DSL provider |
| 3 | Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the 1-LINE port. You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region. |
To set up the printer with DSL
- Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
- Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to the open port on the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.

NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the printer, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
As only one phone cord is supplied, you might need to obtain additional phone cords for this setup.
- Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.
- Run a fax test.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case C: Set up the printer 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 printer 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 interferes with any fax transmission, and you cannot send or receive faxes with the printer. Refer to the documentation that came with your PBX phone system for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting tone.
- If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before dialing the fax number.
- Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer. If you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, you can purchase a longer 2-wire phone cord from your local electronics store and extend it.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/ region.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern, set up the printer as described in this section.

Figure C-3 Back view of the printer
| 1 | Telephone wall jack |
| 2 | Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the 1-LINE port. |
| You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region. |
To set up the printer with a distinctive ring service
- Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.

NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, 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.
- Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
- Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company assigned to your fax number.

NOTE: By default, the printer is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the printer might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.

TIP: You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer control panel to set distinctive ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of an incoming call and, based on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to fax calls. For more information, see Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring on page 73.
- (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
- Run a fax test.
The printer automatically answers incoming calls that have the ring pattern you selected (Distinctive Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to Answer setting). The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case E: Shared voice/fax line
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you have no other office equipment (or voice mail) on this phone line, set up the printer as described in this section.

Do one of the following:
-
If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a phone to this port.
-
If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on top of the printer cable which has a wall plug attached to it.
-
Now you need to decide how you want the printer to answer calls, automatically or manually:
-
If you set up the printer to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. The printer cannot distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if
you suspect the call is a voice call, you need to answer it before the printer answers the call. To set up the printer to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.
- If you set up the printer to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the printer cannot receive faxes. To set up the printer to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.
4. Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the printer answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, you need to answer the fax call manually.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the printer 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.

Guidelines for ensuring wireless network security
The following information can help you keep your wireless network and wireless printer secure from unauthorized use.
For more information, visit www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting.
This section contains the following topics:
Overview of security settings
- Add hardware addresses to a wireless router (MAC filtering)
- Other wireless security guidelines
Overview of security settings
To help improve the security of the wireless network and prevent unauthorized access, the printer supports many common types of network authentication, including WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
- WEP: Provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data. If your network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) it uses.
- WPA: Increases the level of over-the-air data protection and access control on existing and future wireless networks. It addresses all known weaknesses of WEP, the original native security mechanism in the 802.11 standard. WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for encryption and employs 802.1X authentication with one of the standard Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types available today.
- WPA2: Provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is defined in counter cipher-block chaining mode (CCM) and supports the Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) to enable security between client workstations operating connected wirelessly without a wireless router (such as a Linksys wireless router or Apple AirPort Base Station).
Add hardware addresses to a wireless router (MAC filtering)
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a wireless router or wireless access point is configured with a list of hardware addresses (also called "MAC addresses") of devices that are allowed to gain access to the network through the router.
If the router filters hardware addresses, then the printer's hardware address must be added to the router's list of accepted hardware addresses. If the router does not have the hardware address of a printer attempting to access the network, the router denies the printer access to the network.
CAUTION: This method is not recommended, however, because your MAC addresses can easily be read and falsified by unwanted users outside your network.
To add hardware addresses to a wireless router or wireless access point
- Print the network configuration page, and then locate the printer's hardware address. For more information, see Understand the network configuration page on page 151.

NOTE: The printer maintains separate hardware addresses for the Ethernet connection and for wireless connection. Both hardware addresses are listed on the printer's network configuration page.
2. Open the configuration utility for the wireless router or wireless access point, and add the printer's hardware address to the list of accepted hardware addresses.

NOTE: For more information about using the configuration utility, see the documentation provided with the router or wireless access point.
Other wireless security guidelines
To keep the wireless network secure, follow these guidelines:
- Use a wireless password with at least 20 random characters. You can use up to 64 characters in a WPA wireless password.
-
Avoid any common words or phrases, easy sequences of characters (such as all 1s), and personally-identifiable information for wireless passwords. Always use random strings composed of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and if allowed, special characters such as punctuation.
-
Change the default wireless password provided by the manufacturer for administrator access to the access point or wireless router. Some routers let you change the administrator name as well.
- Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do this, you need to connect to the router with an Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes.
- Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router, if possible. You can use Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.
- To avoid accidentally connecting to another party's wireless network, turn off the setting to automatically connect to non-preferred networks. This is disabled by default in Windows XP.
Guidelines for reducing interference on a wireless network
The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:
- Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can disrupt radio signals.
- Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.
- Position the access point or wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless devices on the network.
- Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.
Change basic network settings
The control panel options enable you to set up and manage a wireless connection and to perform a variety of network management tasks. This includes viewing the network settings, restoring the network defaults, turning the wireless radio on and off, and changing the network settings.

About cookies
The embedded web server (EWS) places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you are browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have configured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Though some cookies are cleared at the end of each session (such as the cookie that stores the selected language), others (such as the cookie that stores customer-specific preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.

NOTE: The cookies that the EWS stores on your computer are only used for saving settings on your computer or for sharing information between the printer and the computer. These cookies are not sent to any HP websites.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time a cookie is offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to remove unwanted cookies.

NOTE: Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following features:
Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards)
- Remembering the EWS browser language setting
- Personalizing the EWS Home page
For information about how to change your privacy and cookie settings and how to view or delete cookies, see the documentation available with your web browser.
To open the embedded web server

NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address and hostname for the printer are listed on the status report. For more information, see Understand the network configuration page on page 151.
- In a supported web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the printer.
For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the web browser: http://123.123.123.123

TIP: After opening the embedded web server, bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly.
TIP: If you are using the Safari web browser in Mac OS X, you can also use the Bonjour bookmark to open the EWS without typing the IP address. To use the Bonjour bookmark, open Safari, and then from the Safari menu, click Preferences. On the Bookmarks tab, in the Bookmarks bar section, select Include Bonjour, and then close the window. Click the Bonjour bookmark, and then select your networked printer to open the EWS.

Ink sensor failure
The ink sensor has failed and the printer can no longer print.
Contact HP support. For more information, see www.hp.com/support.
Ink sensor warning
The ink sensor is reporting an unexpected condition. This could be caused by the cartridge, or the sensor may have failed. If the sensor has failed, it can no longer sense when your cartridges are out of ink. Printing with an empty cartridge will cause air to enter the ink system, which causes poor print quality.
