NOTE: The Windows software installer installs the HP Smart Device Agent Base service. The file size is approximately 100 kb. Its only function is to check for printers connected via USB hourly. No data is collected. If a USB printer is found, it then tries to locate a JetAdvantage Management Connector (JAMc) instance on the network. If a JAMc is found, the HP Smart Device Agent Base is securely upgraded to a full Smart Device Agent from JAMc, which will then allow printed pages to be accounted for in a Managed Print Services (MPS) account. The driver-only web packs downloaded from hp.com for the printer and installed through the Add Printer wizard do not install this service.
To uninstall the service, open the Windows Control Panel, select Programs or Programs and Features, and then select Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall a Program to remove the service. The file name is HPSmartDeviceAgentBase.

| HP 200 ADF Roller Replacement Kit B5L52A | 50,000 pages* |
HP Maintenance/Long Life Consumables (LLC) life specifications are estimations based on the LLC life test conditions listed below. Actual individual life/yield during normal use varies depending on usage, environment, paper and other factors. Estimated life is not an implied guarantee or warrantable.
\*The LLC life test conditions
- Print coverage: 5% evenly distributed across the page
- Environment: 17° to 25°C (62.6° to 77°F); 30%-70% relative humidity (RH)
• Media size: Letter/A4
• Media weight: 75 g/m ^2 (20 lb) plain media
• Job size: 4 pages - Short edge feed (A3) (i.e., Legal size media)
Factors that can reduce life from the conditions above:
• Media narrower than Letter/A4 widths (thermal slowdowns equal more rotations)
• Paper heavier than 75 g/m ^2 (20 lb) (heavier media creates higher stress on printer components)
• Print jobs smaller than 4 pages (smaller jobs mean more thermal cycling and more rotations)
Customer self-repair parts
Customer Self-Repair (CSR) parts are available for many HP LaserJet printers to reduce repair time. More information about the CSR program and benefits can be found at www.hp.com/go/csr-support and www.hp.com/go/csr-faq.
Genuine HP replacement parts can be ordered at www.hp.com/buy/parts or by contacting an HP-authorized service or support provider. When ordering, one of the following will be needed: part number, serial number (found on back of printer), product number, or printer name.
- Parts listed as Mandatory self-replacement are to be installed by customers, unless you are willing to pay HP service personnel to perform the repair. For these parts, on-site or return-to-depot support is not provided under the HP printer warranty.
- Parts listed as Optional self-replacement can be installed by HP service personnel at your request for no additional charge during the printer warranty period.

Configure the HP toner-cartridge-protection supply settings
A network administrator can configure the toner-cartridge-protection settings using the printer control panel or the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Introduction
- Enable or disable the Cartridge Policy feature
- Enable or disable the Cartridge Protection feature
Introduction
Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and protect the cartridges that are installed from theft.
In HP Web Jetadmin, the settings are located under the Device Management pane in the following menu chain: Config > Supplies > Cartridge Policy or Cartridge Protection.
These features are available with HP FutureSmart versions 3 and later.
- Cartridge Policy: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only genuine HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best possible print quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer control panel displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized and it provides information explaining how to proceed.
- Cartridge Protection: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specific printer, or fleet of printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your investment. When this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from the original printer into an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge. The printer control panel displays a message that the cartridge is protected, and it provides information explaining how to proceed.
CAUTION: After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed in the printer are automatically and permanently protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable the feature before installing the new cartridge.
Turning the feature off does not turn off protection for cartridges that are currently installed.
Both features are off by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.

Set up Scan to Network Folder
Introduction
Before you begin
• Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS)
• Step two: Set up Scan to Network Folder
Introduction
This document explains how to enable and configure the Scan to Network Folder function. The printer has a feature that enables it to scan a document and save it to a network folder. To use this scan feature, the printer must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been configured. There are two methods for configuring Scan to Network Folder, the Save to Network Folder Setup Wizard for basic setup and Save to Network Folder Setup for advanced setup.
Before you begin

NOTE: To set up the Scan to Network Folder feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the configuration process.
- Administrative access to the printer
The fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \servername.us.companyname.net\scans) of the destination folder OR the IP address of the server (e.g., \16.88.20.20\scans).

NOTE: The use of the term "server" in this context refers to the computer where the shared folder resides.
Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Open the EWS to start the set-up process.
- From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Information icon, and then touch the Network icon to display the IP address or host name.
- Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.

NOTE: If the web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe, select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.

• Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard
• Method two: Use Scan to Network Folder Setup
Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard
This option opens the setup wizard that is in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer. The setup wizard includes the options for basic configuration.

NOTE: Before you begin: To display the printer's IP address or host name, touch the Information icon, and then touch the Network icon on the printer's control panel.
- Using the EWS top navigation tabs, click Scan/Digital Send tab. The Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards dialog opens.
- In the left-navigation pane, click Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards.
- Click the Save to Network Folder Quick Set Wizard link.
- On the Add or Remove a Save to Network Folder Quick Set dialog, click Add.

NOTE: Quick Sets are short-cut jobs that can be accessed on the printer Home screen or within the Quick Sets application.

NOTE: The Save to Network Folder feature can be minimally configured without creating a quick set. However, without the quick set, users must enter the destination folder information at the control panel for each scan job. A quick set is required to include Save to Network Folder metadata.
- On the Add Folder Quick Set dialog, complete the following information:
a. In the Quick Set Title field, type a title.

NOTE: Name the Quick Set something that users can understand quickly (e.g., "Scan and save to a folder").
b. In the Quick Set Description field, type a description explaining what the Quick Set will save.
c. Click Next.

NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.
b. From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:
- Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel
●Always use these credentials

NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields, and the printer's access to the folder must be verified by clicking Verify Access.
c. In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain.
TIP: To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click System.

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

| Redial on No Answer | The Redial on No Answer setting selects the number of times the fax accessory redials if the number dialed does not answer. The number of retries is either 0 to 1 (used in the U.S.) or 0 to 2, depending on the location setting. The interval between retries is set by the redial interval setting. |
| Redial on Busy | The Redial on Busy setting selects the number of times (0 through 9) the fax accessory redials a number when the number is busy. The interval between retries is set by the Redial Interval setting. |
| Redial Interval | The Redial Interval setting selects the number of minutes between retries if the number dialed is busy or not answering, or if an error occurs.NOTE: You might observe a redial message on the control panel when both the Redial on Busy and Redial on No Answer settings are set to off. This occurs when the fax accessory dials a number, establishes a connection, and then loses the connection. As a result of this error condition, the fax accessory performs three automatic redial attempts regardless of the redial settings. During this redial operation, a message displays on the control panel to indicate that a redial is in progress. |
| Fax Send Speed | The Fax Send Speed setting sets the modem bit rate (measured in bits per second) of the Analog Fax modem while sending a fax.Fast (v.34 – 33.6k)Medium (v.17 – 14.4k)Slow (v.29 – 9.6k) |

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

NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or markings in the tray.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these.

In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper, and continue.
-
The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.
The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.
Figure 9-4 Roller locations for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray

natural_image
Technical diagram showing two views of a mechanical assembly with highlighted components (no text or symbols present)The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.
- Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan the paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.

NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

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

The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper

NOTE: This information applies to MFP printers only.
The original might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes, that must be removed.
- Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller-access cover inside the document feeder is closed.
- Make sure that the top document-feeder cover is closed.
- The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the stack.
- The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work correctly. Make sure that the paper stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.
The document feeder input tray or output bin might contain more than the maximum number of pages. Make sure the paper stack fits below the guides in the input tray, and remove pages from the output bin.
- Verify that there are no pieces of paper, staples, paper clips, or other debris in the paper path.
- Clean the document-feeder rollers and the separation pad. Use compressed air or a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with warm water. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.
- From the Home screen on the printer control panel, scroll to and touch the Supplies button. Check the status of the document-feeder kit, and replace it if necessary.

Check toner-cartridge status
Follow these steps to check the estimated life remaining in the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
• Step one: Print the supplies status page
• Step two: Check supplies status
Step one: Print the supplies status page
The supplies status page indicates the cartridge status.
- From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Reports application, and then select the Reports icon.
- Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.
- Select Supplies Status Page, and then select Print to print the page.
Step two: Check supplies status
-
Look at the supplies status report to check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and, if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low threshold, HP's premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers. -
Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the word "HP" on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
Print a cleaning page
During the printing process paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and can cause print-quality issues such as toner specks or spatter, smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks.
Follow these steps to clean the printer paper path.
- From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Support Tools application, and then select the Support Tools icon.
-
Select the following menus:
-
Maintenance
- Calibration/Cleaning
-
Cleaning Page
-
Select Print to print the page.
A Cleaning... message displays on the printer control panel. The cleaning process takes a few minutes to complete. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has finished. When it is finished, discard the printed page.
Visually inspect the toner cartridge or cartridges
Follow these steps to inspect each toner cartridge.
- Remove the toner cartridges from the printer.
- Check the memory chip for damage.
- Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.

CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
- If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.
- Reinstall the toner cartridge, and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
Check paper and the printing environment
• Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
• Step two: Check the environment
• Step three: Set the individual tray alignment
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.
● Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
- Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
- Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
- Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
- Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet printers.
• Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding issues. Try the following solutions:
- Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
• Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications. - Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
- Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
- Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides, including the top.
- Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue inside the printer.
Step three: Set the individual tray alignment
Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing from specific trays.
-
From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Settings application, and then select the Settings icon.
-
Select the following menus:
-
Copy/Print or Print
- Print Quality
-
Image Registration
-
Select Tray, and then select the tray to adjust.
- Select Print Test Page, and then follow the instructions on the printed pages.
- Select Print Test Page again to verify the results, and then make further adjustments if necessary.
- Select Done to save the new settings.
Try a different print driver
Try a different print driver when printing from a software program and the printed pages have unexpected lines in graphics, missing text, missing graphics, incorrect formatting, or substituted fonts.
Download any of the following drivers from the HP Web site: www.hp.com/support/ljM528mfp.
| HP PCL.6 driver | If available, this printer-specific print driver supports older operating systems like Windows ^ XP and Windows Vista ^ . For a list of supported operating systems, go towww.hp.com/go/support. |

- If possible, send the fax from a computer software program.
Solve wired network problems
Introduction
• Poor physical connection
• The computer is unable to communicate with the printer
The printer is using incorrect link and duplex settings for the network
• New software programs might be causing compatibility problems
• The computer or workstation might be set up incorrectly
The printer is disabled, or other network settings are incorrect
Introduction
Certain types of problems can indicate there is a network communication problem. These problems include the following issues:
Poor physical connection
- Verify that the printer is attached to the correct network port using a cable of the correct length.
- Verify that cable connections are secure.
- Look at the network port connection on the back of the printer, and verify that the amber activity light flashes indicating network traffic, and the green link-status light is continuously lit indicating a network link.
- If the problem continues, try a different cable or port on the hub.
The computer is unable to communicate with the printer
- Test network communication by pinging the network.
a. Open a command-line prompt on your computer.
- For Windows, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
- For macOS, go to Applications, then Utilities, and open Terminal.
b. Type ping followed by the IP address for your printer.
c. If the window displays round-trip times, the network is working.
- If the ping command failed, verify that the network hubs are on, and then verify that the network settings, the printer, and the computer are all configured for the same network (also known as subnet).
- Open the printer properties and click the Ports tab. Verify that the current IP address for the printer is selected. The printer IP address is listed on the printer configuration page.
- If you installed the printer using the HP standard TCP/IP port, select the box labeled Always print to this printer, even if its IP address changes.
- If you installed the printer using a Microsoft standard TCP/IP port, use the printer's hostname instead of the IP address.
- If the IP address is correct, delete the printer and then add it again.
The printer is using incorrect link and duplex settings for the network
HP recommends leaving these settings in automatic mode (the default setting). If you change these settings, you must also change them for your network.
New software programs might be causing compatibility problems
Verify that any new software programs are correctly installed and that they use the correct print driver.
The computer or workstation might be set up incorrectly
- Check the network drivers, print drivers, and the network redirection settings.
- Verify that the operating system is configured correctly.
The printer is disabled, or other network settings are incorrect
- Review the printer's configuration/networking pages to check the status of the network settings and protocols.

Introduction
Use the troubleshooting information to help resolve issues.
NOTE: To determine whether HP NFC, Wi-Fi, BLE, or other wireless printing capabilities are enabled on the printer, print a configuration page from the printer control panel.
NOTE: If you have been experiencing intermittent loss of network connectivity, first update the printer firmware. For instructions on how to update the printer firmware, go to http://support.hp.com, search for your printer, and then search on "update the firmware."
Wireless connectivity checklist
- For printers that do not support simultaneous wired and wireless connections, verify that the network cable is not connected.
- Verify that the printer and the wireless router are turned on and have power. Also make sure that the wireless radio in the printer is turned on. (The wireless network indicator is solid when the printer is connected to a wireless network, and blinking when it is searching for a wireless network.)
- Verify that the service set identifier (SSID) is correct:
- For a wireless connection to your network, confirm that your mobile device is connecting to the correct router/access point.
— For a Wi-Fi Direct connection, print a configuration page to determine the printer's SSID.
If you are not sure that the SSID is correct, run the wireless setup again.
- With secured networks, verify that the security information is correct. If the security information is incorrect, run the wireless setup again.
-
If the wireless network is working correctly, try accessing other computers on the wireless network. If the network has Internet access, try connecting to the Internet over a wireless connection.
-
Verify that the encryption method (AES or TKIP) is the same for the printer as it is for the wireless access point (on networks using WPA security).
- Verify that the printer is within the range of the wireless network. For most networks, the printer must be within 30 m (100 ft) of the wireless access point (wireless router).
- Verify that obstacles do not block the wireless signal. Remove any large metal objects between the access point and the printer. Make sure poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete do not separate the printer and wireless access point.
- Verify that the printer is located away from electronic devices that might interfere with the wireless signal. Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal including motors, cordless phones, security system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
- Verify that the print driver is installed on the computer.
- Verify that you have selected the correct printer port.
- Verify that the computer and printer connect to the same wireless network.
- If your environment has multiple wireless signals and you need the printer to support dual band networks on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, install the HP Jetdirect 2900nw print server accessory.
- For macOS, verify that the wireless router supports Bonjour.
The printer does not print after the wireless configuration completes
- Make sure that the printer is turned on and in the ready state.
- Turn off any third-party firewalls on your computer.
- Make sure that the wireless network is working correctly.
- Make sure that your computer is working correctly. If necessary, restart the computer.
- Verify that you can open the printer HP Embedded Web Server from a computer on the network.
The printer does not print, and the computer has a third-party firewall installed
- Update the firewall with the most recent update available from the manufacturer.
- If programs request firewall access when you install the printer or try to print, make sure that you allow the programs to run.
- Temporarily turn off the firewall, and then install the wireless printer on the computer. Enable the firewall when you have completed the wireless installation.
The wireless connection does not work after moving the wireless router or printer
- Make sure that the router or printer connects to the same network that your computer connects to.
- Print a configuration page.
- Compare the service set identifier (SSID) on the configuration page to the SSID in the printer configuration for the computer.
- If the numbers are not the same, the devices are not connecting to the same network. Reconfigure the wireless setup for the printer.
Cannot connect more computers to the wireless printer
- Make sure that the other computers are within the wireless range and that no obstacles block the signal. For most networks, the wireless range is within 30 m (100 ft) of the wireless access point.
- Make sure that the printer is turned on and in the ready state.
- Make sure there are not more than 5 concurrent Wireless Print Direct users.
- Turn off any third-party firewalls on your computer.
- Make sure that the wireless network is working correctly.
- Make sure that your computer is working correctly. If necessary, restart the computer.
The wireless printer loses communication when connected to a VPN
• Typically, you cannot connect to a VPN and other networks at the same time.
The network does not appear in the wireless networks list
- Make sure the wireless router is turned on and has power.
- The network might be hidden. However, you can still connect to a hidden network. Make sure the router/access point is advertising the SSID by checking for its SSID in the available networks seen by your mobile device.
The wireless network is not functioning
- For printers that do not support simultaneous wired and wireless connections, make sure that the network cable is disconnected.
- To verify if the network has lost communication, try connecting other devices to the network.
- Test network communication by pinging the network.
a. Open a command-line prompt on your computer.
- For Windows, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
- For macOS, go to Applications, then Utilities, and open Terminal.
b. Type ping followed by the router IP address.
c. If the window displays round-trip times, the network is working.
- Make sure that the router or printer connects to the same network that the computer connects to.
a. Print a configuration page.
b. Compare the service set identifier (SSID) on the configuration report to the SSID in the printer configuration for the computer.
c. If the numbers are not the same, the devices are not connecting to the same network. Reconfigure the wireless setup for the printer.
Reduce interference on a wireless network
The following tips can reduce 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. These objects can disrupt radio signals.
- Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures. These objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.
- Position the wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless printers on the network.
Solve fax problems
Use the following sections to solve issues involving the printer fax functions.
- Checklist for solving fax problems
- General fax problems
Checklist for solving fax problems
Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter:
• What type of phone line are you using?
Are you using a surge-protection device?
Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?
- Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
- Check fax accessory status
Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with the supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specifications. Do not substitute another fax cable; the analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.
- Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the outlet on the fax accessory? Make sure that the phone jack is correctly seated in the outlet. Insert the connector into the outlet until it "clicks."

NOTE: Verify that the phone jack is connected to the fax port rather than to the network port. The ports are similar.
Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to the wall jack. Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make or receive a phone call?
What type of phone line are you using?
• Dedicated line: A standard analog fax/phone line assigned to receive or send faxes.

NOTE: The phone line should be for printer fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notifications to a monitoring company.
PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax accessory use an analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible with the fax accessory. You might need an interfacing Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) to connect the fax machine to digital PBX systems.
- Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line when the first incoming line is busy. Try attaching the printer to the first incoming phone line. The fax accessory answers the phone after it rings the number of times set in the rings-to-answer setting.
Are you using a surge-protection device?
A surge-protection device can be used between the wall jack and the fax accessory to protect the fax accessory against electrical power passed through the phone lines. These devices can cause some fax communication problems by degrading the quality of the phone signal. If you are having problems sending or receiving faxes and are using one of these devices, connect the printer directly to the phone jack on the wall to determine whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.
Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?
If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the fax accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes. If the rings-to-
answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory answers all calls.
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax telephone line.
Check fax accessory status
If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to check the status.
- From the Home screen, scroll to and select Reports.
- Open the following menus:
- Configuration/Status Pages
- Configuration Page
- Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen. The report consists of several pages.
NOTE: The printer IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.
On the Fax Accessory Page of the Configuration Page, under the Hardware Information heading, check the Modem Status. The following table identifies the status conditions and possible solutions.
NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax accessory. If you are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those configurations could be disabling the feature.
| Operational / Enabled1 | The analog-fax accessory is installed and ready. |
| Operational / Disabled1 | The fax accessory is installed, but you have not configured the required fax settings yet.The fax accessory is installed and operational; however, the HP Digital Sending utility has either disabled the printer fax feature or has enabled LAN fax. When LAN fax is enabled, the analog-fax feature is disabled. Only one fax feature, either LAN fax or analog fax, can be enabled at a time.NOTE: If LAN fax is enabled, the Scan to Fax feature is unavailable on the printer control panel. |
| Non-Operational / Enabled/Disabled1 | The printer has detected a firmware failure. Upgrade the firmware. |
| Damaged / Enabled/Disabled1 | The fax accessory has failed. Reseat the fax accessory card and check for bent pins. If the status is still DAMAGED, replace the analog-fax accessory card. |
ENABLED indicates that the analog-fax accessory is enabled and turned on; DISABLED indicates that LAN fax is enabled (analog fax is turned off).
