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.

Maintenance/long-life consumables

Maintenance/LLC KitPart number Estimated life1
HP 200 ADF Roller Replacement Kit B5L52A50,000 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.

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

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Before you begin - 1

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).

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Before you begin - 2

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) - 1

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.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard - 5

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

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard - 6

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Option 1: Configure the printer to save to a shared folder or FTP folder - 2
NOTE: For more information about creating shared network folders see Set up a shared folder (c04431534).

  1. If it is not already selected, select Save to a standard shared network folder.
  2. In the UNC Folder Path field, type a folder path.
    The folder path can either be the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \ \servername.us.companyname.net\scans) or the IP address of the server (e.g., \ \16.88.20.20\scans). Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Option 1: Configure the printer to save to a shared folder or FTP folder - 3

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.

  1. To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a format for the subfolder name from the Custom Subfolder list. To restrict the subfolder access to the user who creates the scan job, select Restrict subfolder access to user.

  2. To view the complete folder path for scanned documents, click Update Preview.

  3. From the Authentication Settings list, select one of the following options:

  4. Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel
  5. Always use these credentials

NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields.

  1. In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain.

NOTE: To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click System.

To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and then click System. The domain is listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.

NOTE: If a shared folder is set to be accessed by everyone, values for a workgroup name (default is "Workgroup"), a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields. However, if the folder is within a particular user's folders and not Public, the user name and password of that user must be used.

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

  1. Click OK.

Redial on No AnswerThe 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 BusyThe 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 IntervalThe 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 SpeedThe 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)
Line Monitor VolumeUse the Line Monitor Volume setting to control the printer's dialing volume level when sending faxes.
Dialing ModeThe Dialing Mode setting sets the type of dialing that is used: either tone (touch-tone phones) or pulse (rotary-dial phones).
Dialing PrefixThe Dialing Prefix setting allows you to enter a prefix number (such as a "9" to access an outside line) when dialing. This prefix number is automatically added to all phone numbers when dialed.
Detect dial toneThe Detect dial tone setting determines whether the fax checks for a dial tone before sending a fax.

Error Correction ModeNormally, the fax accessory monitors the signals on the telephone line while it is sending or receiving a fax. If the fax accessory detects an error during the transmission and the Error Correction Mode setting is on, the fax accessory can request that the error portion of the fax be sent again.The Error Correction Mode feature is enabled by default. You should turn it off only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax and if you are willing to accept the errors in the transmission and a probable quality reduction in the image. Turning off the setting might be useful when you are trying to send a fax overseas or receive one from overseas, or if you are using a satellite telephone connection.NOTE: Some VoIP providers might suggest turning off the Error Correction Mode setting. However, this is not usually necessary.

Printer security features

Introduction
• Security statements
- Assign an administrator password
IP Security
• Encryption support: HP High Performance Secure Hard Disks
- Lock the formatter

Introduction

The printer includes several security features to restrict who has access to configuration settings, to secure data, and to prevent access to valuable hardware components.

Security statements

The printer supports security standards and recommended protocols that help you keep the printer secure, protect critical information on your network, and simplify the way you monitor and maintain the printer.

Assign an administrator password

Assign an administrator password for access to the printer and the HP Embedded Web Server so that unauthorized users cannot change the printer settings.

Provide user access credentials at the printer control panel

Some features on the printer control panel can be secured so that unauthorized people cannot use them. When a feature is secured, the printer prompts you to sign in before you can use it. You can also sign in without waiting for a prompt by selecting Sign In from the printer control panel.

Typically, the credentials for signing in to the printer are the same as for signing in to the network. Consult the network administrator for this printer if you have questions about which credentials to use.

  1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select Sign In.

  2. Follow the prompts to enter the credentials.

NOTE: To maintain security for the printer, select Sign Out when you have finished using the printer.

IP Security

IP Security (IPsec) is a set of protocols that control IP-based network traffic to and from the printer. IPsec provides host-to-host authentication, data integrity, and encryption of network communications.

For printers that are connected to the network and have an HP Jetdirect print server, you can configure IPsec by using the Networking tab in the HP Embedded Web Server.

Encryption support: HP High Performance Secure Hard Disks

The hard disk provides hardware-based encryption so you can securely store sensitive data without impacting printer performance. This hard disk uses the latest Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and has versatile time-saving features and robust functionality.

Use the Security menu in the HP Embedded Web Server to configure the disk.

Lock the formatter

The formatter has a slot that you can use to attach a security cable. Locking the formatter prevents someone from removing valuable components from it.

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.

  1. Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain inside the printer.
  2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.
  3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.

  4. 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.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - The printer does not pick up paper - 1

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.

  1. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer and that paper is being stored in unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.

In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.

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

natural_image Two-step illustration showing hands holding a flexible band, labeled 1 and 2 (no text or symbols on the bands)
  1. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper, and continue.

  2. 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.

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper

If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.

  1. 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.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper - 1

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.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper - 2

natural_image Two-step illustration showing hands holding a curved object, labeled 1 and 2 (no text or symbols on the objects)
  1. Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this printer.
  2. 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.

  1. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.

  2. 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

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper - 8

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.

Try printing from a different software program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the software program from which you were printing.

Check the paper-type setting for the print job

Check the paper type setting when printing from a software program and the printed pages have smears, fuzzy or dark print, curled paper, scattered dots of toner, loose toner, or small areas of missing toner.

  • Check the paper type setting on the printer
    • Check the paper type setting (Windows)
  • Check the paper type setting (macOS)

Check the paper type setting on the printer

Check the paper type setting on the printer control panel, and change the setting as needed.

  1. Open the tray.
  2. Verify that the tray is loaded with the correct type of paper.
  3. Close the tray.
  4. Follow the control panel instructions to confirm or modify the paper type settings for the tray.

Check the paper type setting (Windows)

Check the paper type setting for Windows, and change the setting as needed.

  1. From the software program, select the Print option.
  2. Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
  3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
  4. From the Paper Type drop-down list, click the More... option.

  5. Expand the list of Type is: options.

  6. Expand the category of paper types that best describes your paper.

  7. Select the option for the type of paper you are using, and click the OK button.

  8. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog box, click the OK button to print the job.

Check the paper type setting (macOS)

  3. By default, the print driver displays the Copies & Pages menu. Open the menus drop-down list, and then click the Paper/Quality menu.
  4. Select a type from the Media Type drop-down list.
  5. Click the Print button.

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.

  1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Reports application, and then select the Reports icon.
  2. Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.
  3. Select Supplies Status Page, and then select Print to print the page.

Step two: Check supplies status

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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.

  1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Support Tools application, and then select the Support Tools icon.
  2. Select the following menus:

  3. Maintenance

  4. Calibration/Cleaning
  5. Cleaning Page

  6. 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.

  1. Remove the toner cartridges from the printer.
  2. Check the memory chip for damage.
  3. Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Visually inspect the toner cartridge or cartridges - 1

CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.

  1. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.
  2. 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.

  1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Settings application, and then select the Settings icon.

  2. Select the following menus:

  3. Copy/Print or Print

  4. Print Quality
  5. Image Registration

  6. Select Tray, and then select the tray to adjust.

  7. Select Print Test Page, and then follow the instructions on the printed pages.
  8. Select Print Test Page again to verify the results, and then make further adjustments if necessary.
  9. 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.

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

  1. Make sure that the printer is turned on and in the ready state.
  2. Turn off any third-party firewalls on your computer.
  3. Make sure that the wireless network is working correctly.

  5. 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

  1. Update the firewall with the most recent update available from the manufacturer.
  2. If programs request firewall access when you install the printer or try to print, make sure that you allow the programs to run.
  3. 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

  1. Make sure that the router or printer connects to the same network that your computer connects to.
  2. Print a configuration page.
  3. Compare the service set identifier (SSID) on the configuration page to the SSID in the printer configuration for the computer.
  4. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Make sure that the printer is turned on and in the ready state.
  3. Make sure there are not more than 5 concurrent Wireless Print Direct users.
  4. Turn off any third-party firewalls on your computer.
  5. Make sure that the wireless network is working correctly.
  6. 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

  1. For printers that do not support simultaneous wired and wireless connections, make sure that the network cable is disconnected.
  2. To verify if the network has lost communication, try connecting other devices to the network.
  3. 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.

  1. 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."

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - Checklist for solving fax problems - 1

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.

HP Enterprise Flow MFP M528 - What type of phone line are you using? - 1

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.

  1. From the Home screen, scroll to and select Reports.
  2. Open the following menus:

- Configuration/Status Pages

- Configuration Page

  1. 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 / Enabled1The analog-fax accessory is installed and ready.
Operational / Disabled1The 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/Disabled1The printer has detected a firmware failure. Upgrade the firmware.
Damaged / Enabled/Disabled1The 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).
