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 that HP follows during the manufacturing process, see Environmental product stewardship program on page 177. For more information about HP's environmental initiatives, visit www.hp.com/ecosolutions.

Manage Power
- Optimize Printing Supplies

Manage Power

To conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features.

You can also turn the features on or off from the printer software or Embedded web server (EWS).

To open the printer software, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 37.

To open the EWS, see Embedded web server on page 118.

Sleep mode

Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup, the printer goes into low-power mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.

To change the time to Sleep mode:

1. From the printer control panel display, touch eco (ECO).
2. 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 this feature to automatically save energy during evenings and weekends. 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:

1. From the printer control panel display, touch eco (ECO).
2. Touch Schedule On and Off.
3. Touch Schedule On and Schedule Off to set the time to turn the printer on and off.

CAUTION: Always turn off the printer properly, using either Sleep Mode, Schedule On and Off, or (the Power button).

If you incorrectly turn the printer off, the print carriage might not return to the correct position, causing problems with the ink cartridges and print quality issues.

Optimize Printing Supplies

To optimize printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:

• Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper.
• 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.

What are HP Digital Solutions?

HP Digital Solutions are a set of tools provided with this printer that can help improve your office productivity.

HP Digital Filing

HP Digital Filing provides robust, general-office scanning—as well as basic, versatile, document-management capabilities—for multiple users over a network. With HP Digital Filing, you can simply walk up to the printer, select the options on the printer control panel, and either scan documents directly to computer folders on your network or quickly share them with business partners as email attachments—and all without using additional scanning software.

These scanned documents can be sent to a shared network folder for personal or group access or to one or more email addresses for quick sharing. In addition, you can configure specific scan settings for each scan destination, allowing you to make sure that the best settings are being used for each specific task.

HP Digital Fax

Never lose important faxes misplaced within a stack of paper pages again!

With HP Digital Fax, you can save incoming, black-and-white faxes to a computer folder on your network for easy sharing and storage, or you can forward faxes through email—allowing you to receive important faxes from anywhere while working away from the office.

In addition, you can turn off fax printing altogether — saving money on paper and ink, as well as helping reduce paper consumption and waste.

Requirements

Before you set up the HP Digital Solutions, make sure you have the following:

For all HP Digital Solutions

A network connection

The printer can be connected either through a wireless connection or using an Ethernet cable.

NOTE: If the printer is connected using a USB cable, you scan documents to a computer or attach scans to an email message using the HP software. For more information, see Scan an original on page 56. You can receive faxes to your computer using HP Digital Fax. For more information, see Receive faxes using HP Digital Fax on page 71.

The HP software

HP recommends that you set up HP Digital Solutions using the HP software provided with the printer.

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.

During a scan, smudges or dust on the scanner glass or ADF window might 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 print-side up. When scanning from the scanner glass, the original must be loaded with the top facing the left 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 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

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 hinder the process:

The original is wrinkled.
The structure of the document is too complex.
The text is too faint or too small.

The text is tightly spaced, or 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 type of editable text.

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.

(Windows) Use the Editable Text (OCR) or Save as PDF shortcuts.

(OS X) Use the Documents preset.

• Save your file in the correct format.

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

1. 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 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

NOTE: If you are using the scanner glass, ensure that the automatic document feeder is empty. Otherwise, the printer will sense the document in the ADF instead of the paper on the scanner glass.

1. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.
2. 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.

1. 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.

1. When you are ready to send the fax, touch Black or Color.

NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax.

If you were on the phone with the recipient, ask the recipient to start receiving the fax when they hear fax tones on the fax machine.

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 74.

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

1. Load your original print-side down in the left-rear corner of the scanner glass or in the ADF. For additional information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

NOTE: If you are using the scanner glass, ensure that the automatic document feeder is empty. Otherwise, the printer will sense the document in the ADF instead of the paper on the scanner glass.

1. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.

2. Touch Black or Color.

3. If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, you hear a dial tone.

4. If the original is loaded on the scanner glass, select Fax from scanner glass.

5. When you hear the dial tone, enter the number by using the keypad on the printer control panel.

6. Follow any prompts that might occur.

Tip: If you are using a calling card to send a fax and you have your calling card PIN stored as a speed dial, when prompted to enter your PIN, touch (Speed dial) to select the speed dial entry where you have your PIN stored. For more information about creating speed-dial entries, see Set up speed-dial entries on page 74.

Your fax is sent when the receiving fax machine answers.

Send a fax from memory

You can scan a black-and-white fax into memory and then send the fax from memory. This feature is useful if the fax number you are trying to reach is busy or temporarily unavailable. The printer scans the originals into memory and sends them once it is able to connect to the receiving fax machine. After the printer scans the pages into memory, you can immediately remove the originals from the document feeder tray or scanner glass.

NOTE: You can only send a black-and-white fax from memory.

To send a fax from memory

1. Load your original print-side down in the ADF.
   For additional information, see Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.
2. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.
3. 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.

For more information about creating speed-dial entries, see Set up speed-dial entries on page 74.

1. Touch Black or Color.

The printer scans the originals into memory and sends the fax when the receiving fax machine is available.

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

1. Load your original print-side down in the left-rear corner of the scanner glass or in the ADF. For additional information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

NOTE: If you are using the scanner glass, ensure that the automatic document feeder is empty. Otherwise, the printer will sense the document in the ADF instead of the paper on the scanner glass.

1. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax and touch then (Speed dial).
2. Touch (Setup).
3. Touch Group Speed Dial and follow the on-screen instruction to create a recipient group.
4. Touch the recipient group from the Select Speed Dial screen.
5. Touch Start Fax.

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.

For more information about change the radial options, see Set the radial options on page 79.

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

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup.
3. Touch Advanced Fax Setup.
4. Touch Error Correction Mode to turn on or off.
5. 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

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

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and you have paper loaded in the main tray.
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.
3. 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.
4. If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start on their fax machine.
5. When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following:

a. From the printer control panel display, 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

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup.
3. Touch Advanced Fax Setup.
4. Touch Backup Fax Reception.
5. 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

The received faxes, which are not printed out, are stored in memory.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the printer cannot receive the new fax 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

1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the main tray. For more information, see Load paper on page 23.
2. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
3. Touch Fax Setup.

4. Touch Fax Tools.

5. Touch 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.

1. If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, touch × (Cancel).

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. A received color fax is forwarded in black and white.

HP recommends that you verify the number you are forwarding to is a working fax line. Send a test fax to make sure the fax machine is able to receive your forwarded faxes.

5. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

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 Setup 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.

• Set the number of rings before answering
• Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive rings
• Set the dial type
• Set the radial options
• Set the fax speed
• Set the fax sound volume

Configure the fax header

The fax header prints your name and fax number on the top of every fax you send. HP recommends that you set up the fax header by using the HP printer software provided with the printer. You can also set up the fax header from the printer control panel, as described here.

NOTE: In some countries/regions, the fax header information is a legal requirement.

To set or change the fax header

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Fax Header.
4. Enter your personal or company name, and then touch Done.
5. Enter your fax number, and then touch Done.

Set the answer mode (Auto answer)

The answer mode determines whether the printer answers incoming calls.

• Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the printer to answer faxes automatically. The printer answers all incoming calls and faxes.
• Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call or else the printer does not receive faxes.

To set the answer mode

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Auto Answer to turn it 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

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Rings to Answer.
4. Touch the number of rings.
5. Touch Done to accept the setting.

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 faxes when the main phone number is off the hook.

To change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring

1. Verify that the printer is set to answer fax calls automatically.
2. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
3. Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.

4. Touch Distinctive Ring.

5. 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.

6. Do one of the following:

7. Touch the ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to fax calls.
   -Or-

8. 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.

To set the dial type

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Dial Type.
4. 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.

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.
• FolP: 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 82.

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.
• 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 79. For more information about using ECM, see Send a fax in Error Correction Mode on page 66.

If you have questions about Internet faxing, contact your Internet faxing services support department or your local service provider for further assistance.

Fax 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 Check the estimated ink levels on page 97.

- Anonymous usage information storage

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 38.
• 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 38.
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 97

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 115 and Use the printer control panel on page 9. You can also print the Printer Status page to view this information (see Printer status report on page 125).

To check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. 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 155.

Replace the ink cartridges

NOTE: For information on recycling used ink supplies, see HP inkjet supplies recycling program on page 178.
If you do not already have replacement ink cartridges for the printer, see Order ink cartridges on page 101.
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.

• On a sticker inside the printer. Open the ink cartridge access door to locate the sticker.

NOTE: The Setup ink cartridge that comes with the printer is not available for separate purchase.

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 38.

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 number of pages printed using the cartridge, the page coverage, frequency of printing, and the printing modes used.

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/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

1. From the printer control panel, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Select Tools, and then touch Cartridge Chip Information.
3. Touch OK to disable usage information collection.

NOTE: To turn the usage information function on, restore the factory defaults. For more information about how to restore the defaults, see Restore defaults on page 39.

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.

  Make sure the tray is not overloaded with paper.
• Use HP paper for optimum performance and efficiency.

The printer cannot read the memory device

Make sure that the memory device is one of the supported types and fully inserted into the correct slot. For more information, see Insert a USB flash drive on page 29.

Some memory devices have a switch that controls how they can be used. Make sure that the switch is set so that the memory device can be read.

Solve printing problems

TIP: (Windows) If you're having trouble printing, run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to troubleshoot the issue automatically. The utility will try to diagnose and fix the issue. The HP Print and Scan Doctor may not be available in all languages.

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 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.

• 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 above the power input.
Make sure you are not using a phone cord to connect the printer.

• Check the printer's wireless connection

If the printer is connected to the network with a wireless connection, check that the blue Wireless light is on and not blinking. A blinking light indicates there is connection problem between the printer and the network. You can print a Wireless Test Report to help diagnose any issues.

• 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.

Use this troubleshooter to help you get your printer on the network if you have a firewall or antivirus protection that is causing a problem. Click here to go online for more information. At this time, this website might not be available in all languages.

If the above solutions do not resolve the problem, click here for more online troubleshooting.

Something on the page is missing or incorrect

Try the solutions in Print quality is not acceptable
- 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.

Print quality troubleshooting

1. Make sure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges. Genuine 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 genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:

www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit

1. Check the ink levels.

The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.

Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels on page 97.

NOTE: 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.

For more information about printing under these conditions, see the following:

• When one or more color cartridges are out of ink, see Use black ink only? on page 236.
• When black cartridge is out of ink, see Use color ink only? on page 237.

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 155.

1. Check the paper loaded in the input tray. Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too thick.

2. 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.

3. 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 23.

1. Check the paper type.

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. For more information, see Paper basics on page 20.

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.

1. Check the print settings by clicking the button that opens the Properties dialog box. (Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer Properties, Printer, or Preferences.)

2. Check the print settings in the printer driver 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.

1. 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

a. Touch and slide your finger across the screen, touch Setup.
b. Touch Print Reports.

Scanner did nothing

Check the original

Make sure that the original is loaded correctly. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

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 37. In the window that appears, go to the Scan section under Print, Scan & Fax, select Scan a Document or Photo.
- (OS X) Open HP Utility. For more information, see HP Utility (OS X) on page 117. Under Scan Settings, select Scan to Computer, and ensure that Enable Scan to Computer is selected.

Scan takes too long

Scanning with higher scan resolution takes longer and results in larger file sizes. Lower the resolution to scan more quickly.

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 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

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 27.

• 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

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 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 printer software for instructions about changing the properties.

Text cannot be edited

• Make sure that the OCR has been installed:

Depending on your operating system, do one of the following:

Windows 8: Right-click an empty area on the Start screen, click All Apps on the app bar, select the printer name, and then click Utilities. Select Printer Setup & Software. Click Add more software, click Customize Software Selections, and make sure the OCR option is selected.
Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All Programs, click HP, select your printer name, and then select Printer Setup & Software. Click Add More Software, click Customize Software Selections, and make sure the OCR option is selected.
(OS X) If you have installed the HP printer software using the Minimum installation option, the OCR software might not have been installed. To install this software, place the printer software CD into the computer, double-click the HP Installer icon on the printer software CD.

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 print-side 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 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.
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.

Scanned image quality is poor

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.

Unwanted lines

Ink, glue, correction fluid, or an unwanted substance might be on the scanner glass. Try cleaning the scanner glass.

For more information, see Maintain the printer on page 34.

The scanned image is skewed (crooked)

The original might have been loaded incorrectly. Be sure to use the paper-width guides when you load the originals into the ADF. For more information, see Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

For best results, use the scanner glass for scanning rather than the ADF. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 27.

The scanned image shows blots, lines, vertical white stripes, or other defects

If the scanner glass is dirty, the image produced does not have optimum clarity.

See Maintain the printer on page 34 for cleaning instructions.

The defects might be on the original and are not a result of the scanning process.

Size is reduced

The HP printer software settings might be set to reduce the scanned image.

See the HP printer software Help for more information about changing the settings.

Unable to scan to network folder

NOTE: HP Digital Filing does not support Active Directory.

The computer where the network folder is located is turned off

Make sure the computer where the network folder is stored is turned on and connected to the network.

The network folder has not been set up correctly

Make sure the folder is created on the server. For more information, see the documentation available for your operating system.
Make sure the folder has been shared and that users can both read and write to the folder. If you are using a Mac computer, make sure you have enabled SMB sharing. For more information, see the documentation available for your operating system.
Make sure the folder name uses only the letters or characters supported by the operating system. For more information, see the documentation available with the operating system.

Make sure the folder name is entered in the correct format in the HP software. For more information, see the information in the wizard or the setup assistant.
Make sure the valid username and password have been entered. For more information, see the information in the wizard or the setup assistant.

The disk is full

Make sure the server containing the network folder has sufficient free disk space.

- The printer cannot create a unique filename using the assigned prefix and suffix or the filename prefix has not been set up correctly

The printer can create up to 9,999 files using the same prefix and suffix. If you have scanned many files to a folder, change the prefix.
Make sure the filename prefix uses only the letters or characters supported by the operating system. For more information, see the documentation available with the operating system.

Unable to scan to email

The email profile has not been set up correctly

Make sure the valid outgoing SMTP server settings have been specified in the HP software. For more information about the SMTP server settings, see the documentation provided by your email service provider.

- Email messages are sent to some recipients but not to others when sending to multiple recipients

The email addresses might not be correct or might not be recognized by the email server. Make sure that the email addresses for all email recipients have been entered correctly in the HP software. Check your email Inbox for any delivery notification failure messages from the email server.

- Sending large email messages

Some email servers have been configured to reject email messages larger than a predetermined size. To determine if your email server has a maximum file-size limit, see the documentation provided by your email service provider. If the email server does have such a limit, change the maximum email attachment size for the outgoing email profile to a value smaller than that of the email server.

Solve fax problems

This section contains fax setup troubleshooting information for the printer. If the printer is not set up correctly for faxing, you might experience problems when sending faxes, receiving faxes, or both.

If you are having faxing problems, you can print a fax test report to check the status of the printer. The test fails if the printer is not set up correctly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. For more information, see Test fax setup on page 204.

If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix any problems found. Learn more information about running fax test, click here to go online for more information.

• 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 66. 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. Click here to go online for more information.
• 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. Click here to go online for more information.
• 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 cannot receive taxes, but can send taxes

• 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 78.
• 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 67.
• 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. Learn more about setting up the printer when you have a voice mail service, click here to go online for more information. For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually on page 67.
• 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, click here to go online for more information.
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 67.
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 78.

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 78.

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 9555555, and 9 accesses an outside line, you might insert pauses as follows: 9-555-5555.

B 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 Utility (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 B-1 Countries/regions with a parallel-type phone system

Argentina	Australia	Brazil
Canada	Chile	China
Colombia	Greece	India
Indonesia	Ireland	Japan
Korea	Latin America	Malaysia
Mexico	Philippines	Poland
Portugal	Russia	Saudi Arabia
Singapore	Spain	Taiwan
Thailand	USA	Venezuela
Vietnam

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your telephone company.

This section contains the following topics:

• Select the correct fax setup for your home or office
  Case A: Separate fax line (no voice calls received)
  Case B: Set up the printer with DSL
  Case C: Set up the printer with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line

2. DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)

3. PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system.
4. Distinctive ring service: A distinctive ring service through your telephone company provides multiple telephone numbers with different ring patterns.
5. Voice calls: Voice calls are received at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the printer.
6. 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?
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.

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 separate fax line

1. 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.

1. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
2. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
3. 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 B-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

1. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2. 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.

1. Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.
2. 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 B-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

1. 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.

1. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
2. 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 78.

1. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
2. 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.

1. 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.

1. Do one of the following:

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Now you need to decide how you want the printer to answer calls, automatically or manually:

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

Test fax setup

You can test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and to make sure it is set up correctly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. The test does the following:

Tests the fax hardware
- Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer
- Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port
- Checks for a dial tone
- Checks for an active phone line
Tests the status of your phone line connection

The printer prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix the problem and rerun the test.

To test fax setup via the printer control panel

1. Set up the printer for faxing according to your particular home or office setup instructions.
2. Make sure the ink cartridges are installed, and that full-size paper is loaded in the input tray before starting the test.
3. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
4. Touch Tools, and then touch Run Fax Test.

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

1. Review the report.

2. If the test passes and you are still having problems faxing, check the fax settings listed in the report to verify the settings are correct. A blank or incorrect fax setting can cause problems faxing.
   If the test fails, review the report for more information on how to fix any problems found.

Fax memory full

If Backup Fax Reception or HP Digital Fax is enabled and the printer has a problem (such as a paper jam), the printer saves incoming faxes to memory until the problem is resolved. However, the printer's memory might fill up with faxes that have not been printed yet or transferred to the computer.

To solve this problem, resolve any problems with the printer.

For more information, see Solve fax problems on page 141.

Unable to communicate with printer

The computer cannot communicate with the printer because one of the following events has occurred:

The printer has been turned off.
- The cable connecting the printer, such as a USB cable or a network (Ethernet) cable, has been disconnected.
- If the printer is connected to a wireless network, the wireless connection has been broken.

To solve this problem, try the following solutions:

Make sure the printer is turned on and that (the Power light) is on.
Make sure the power cord and other cables are working and are firmly connected to the printer.
- Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to a functioning, alternating current (AC) power outlet.
- If the printer is connected to a network, make sure the network is functioning properly. For more information, see General network troubleshooting on page 150.
- If the printer is connected to a wireless network, make sure the wireless network is functioning properly. For more information, see Unable to connect the printer wirelessly on page 150.

Low on ink

The ink cartridge identified in the message is low on ink.

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

For information about replacing ink cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99. For information about ordering ink cartridges, see Order ink cartridges on page 101. For information about recycling used ink supplies, see HP inkjet supplies recycling program on page 178.

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. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.

If this problem persists, write down the error code provided in the message, and then contact HP support. For more information about contacting HP support, see HP support on page 122.

Door or cover open

Before the printer can print documents, all doors and covers must be closed.

TIP: When completely closed, most doors and covers snap into place.

If the problem persists after you've securely closed all doors and covers, contact HP support. For more information, see HP support on page 122.

Previously used ink cartridge installed

The ink cartridge identified in the message was previously used in a different printer.

You can use ink cartridges in different printers, but if the cartridge was left outside of a printer for an extended period of time, the print quality of your documents might be affected. Also, if you use ink cartridges that have been used in a different printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.

If the print quality is unsatisfactory, try cleaning the printheads.

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.

For more information about storing ink cartridges, see Order ink cartridges on page 101.

Use SETUP cartridges

When you first setup the printer, you must install the cartridges that shipped in the box with the printer. These cartridges are labeled SETUP, and they calibrate your printer before the first print job. Failure to install the SETUP cartridges during the initial product setup causes an error. If you installed a set of regular cartridges, remove them and install the SETUP cartridges to complete printer setup. After printer setup is complete, the printer can use regular cartridges.

if you still receive error messages and the printer cannot complete ink system initialization, contact HP support. For more information, see HP support on page 122.

Click here to go online for more information.

Do not use SETUP cartridges

SETUP cartridges cannot be used after the printer has been initialized. Remove and install non-SETUP cartridges. For more information, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

Not enough ink at startup

The used cartridges listed in the message might not have enough ink to complete one-time startup processes.

Solution: Install new cartridges or click OK to use installed cartridges.

If startup cannot complete with installed cartridges, new cartridges will be needed. For information on how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

Use black ink only?

The cartridges listed in the message are out of ink.

Solutions: To print in color, replace the empty cartridges. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

To temporarily print using Black ink only, click Use Black Only. The printer will replace color with grayscale. The empty cartridges will need to be replaced soon.

CAUTION: Do NOT remove the empty color cartridge to print in Use Black Only mode.

Use color ink only?

To print with black, replace the black ink cartridge. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

CAUTION: Do NOT remove the empty black cartridge to print in Use Color Only mode.

Incompatible ink cartridges

The ink cartridge is not compatible with your printer. This error can occur if you install an HP Instant Ink cartridge into a printer that has not been enrolled in the HP Instant Ink program. It can also occur if the HP Instant Ink cartridge was previously used in a different printer enrolled in the HP Instant Ink program.

Visit the HP Instant Ink program website for more information.

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. Significant amounts of ink will be used up to recover from this condition, which will deplete much of the ink supply for all cartridges.

Solution: Click OK to continue printing or replace the cartridge. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

Problem with printer preparation

The printer clock has failed and ink preparation may not be complete. The estimated Ink Level gauge might be inaccurate.

Solution: Check the print quality of your print job. If it is not satisfactory, running the printhead cleaning procedure from the toolbox might improve it.

Color cartridge out of ink

The cartridges listed in the message are out of ink.

Solutions: To print in color, replace the empty cartridges. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be replaced soon.

CAUTION: Do NOT remove the empty color cartridge to print in Use Black Only mode.

Black cartridge out of ink

The black cartridge is out of ink.

Solutions: Replace the black ink cartridge. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.

CAUTION: Do NOT remove the empty black cartridge to print in Use Color Only mode.

To temporarily replace black with color, click Cancel Print and re-send the print job. The Use color ink only? message appears before the job prints. The black cartridge will need to be replaced soon.
