  4. Specify the user's home folder in the Microsoft Active Directory. Verify that the user knows where this home folder is located on the network.
  5. Users must sign in with Windows at the control panel. If users do not sign in to open the Network Folder program, this selection will not show up on the list. This program requires querying the network user's account to retrieve the home folder.

  6. Add Network Folder Path – Save to a standard shared network folder

  7. Add Network Folder Path – Save to an FTP Server
  8. Send only to folders with read and write access
  9. Allow sending to folders with write-access only

Add Network Folder Path – Save to a standard shared network folder

UNC folder path: Enter one of the following in this field:

The fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)
• The IP address of the server

The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP, the IP address can change.

With an IP address, the product does not need to use DNS to find the destination server, and therefore, the connection might be faster.

Examples:

FQDN: \servername.us.companyname.net\scans
IP Address: \16.88.20.20\scans

Custom Subfolder: This option automatically creates a subfolder for a scan in the destination folder. Select a format for the subfolder name from the list.

Restrict subfolder access to user: Select this option to restrict subfolder access to the user who creates the scan job.

Folder Path Preview: Click Update Preview to view the complete folder path for scan jobs.

Authentication Settings: The authentication settings determine whether to use the credentials of the signed in user at the product or to use fixed credentials.

  • Use credentials of User: Select this option to use the login credentials for the user, which is typically the Windows login. The product user must also have permission on the shared folder for the credentials to work.
    • Always use these credentials (fixed credentials): Select this option to enter valid credentials for access to the shared folder. This option means that anyone with access to the product can send to the folder.

Windows Domain: Enter the Windows domain name in this field.

The following information applies for environments that are not on a domain:

- If a shared folder is set to be accessed by everyone, values for a workgroup name (default is "Workgroup"), username, and password fields are required to save the quick set. However, it typically does not matter what the values are.

HP LaserJet M680F - Add Network Folder Path – Save to a standard shared network folder - 1

TIP: These fields are available under Authentication Settings using fixed credentials. If the folder is in a within a particular user's folders and not Public, the credentials of that user must be used.

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.

Add Network Folder Path – Save to an FTP Server

Specify the following fields to set up an FTP server as the Save To destination.

FTP Server name
Port
FTP Folder Path
- Custom Subfolder (naming convention for subfolder)
FTP Transfer Mode
- Username and Password

Click Verify Access to confirm the destination can be accessed. Click OK.

HP LaserJet M680F - Add Network Folder Path – Save to an FTP Server - 1

NOTE: If an FTP site is outside the firewall, a proxy server must be specified under the network settings. These settings are located in the EWS Networking tab, under the Advanced options.

Send only to folders with read and write access

Select this option for folders configured for read and write access. This option also supports folder access verification, job notifications, and inclusion of user in a subfolder name.

Verify folder access prior to job start

  • Select this check box to force the device to verify folder access before starting a scan job.
    Clear this check box for faster completion of scan jobs. Jobs can fail if the folder is unavailable.

Allow sending to folders with write-access only

Select this option for folders configured for write-only access (required for this type of folder).

HP LaserJet M680F - Allow sending to folders with write-access only - 1

NOTE: When this box is checked, the product cannot increment the scan filename. It sends the same filename for all scans.

Select a time-related filename prefix or suffix for the scan filename, so that each scan is saved as a unique file, and does not overwrite a previous file. This filename is determined by the information in the File Settings dialog in the quick set wizard.

  2. Open the following menus:

Fax Settings

Fax Send Settings

Fax Send Setup

- Fax Dialing Settings

Configure any of the following settings:

Menu Item Description
Fax Dial VolumeUse the Fax Dial Volume setting to control the product'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).
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 (default) — v.34/max 33,600 bpsMedium — v.17/max 14,400 bpsSlow — v.29/max 9,600 bps
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.
Redial On ErrorThe Redial On Error feature sets the number of times a fax number will be redialed when an error occurs during a fax transmission.
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.
Menu item Description
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 country/region setting. The interval between retries is set by the redial interval setting.
Detect Dial ToneThe Detect Dial Tone setting determines whether the fax checks for a dial tone before sending a fax.
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.

General fax send settings

  1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch Administration.
  2. Open the following menus:

Fax Settings
Fax Send Settings
Fax Send Setup
• General Fax Send Settings

Configure any of the following settings:

Menu item Description
Fax Number ConfirmationWhen the Fax Number Confirmation feature is enabled, the fax number must be entered twice to ensure that it was entered correctly. The feature is disabled by default.
PC Fax SendUse the PC Fax Send feature to send faxes from a PC. This feature is enabled by default.
Fax HeaderUse the Fax Header feature to control whether the header is appended to the top, and content is shifted down, or if the header is overlayed on top of the previous header.
JBIG CompressionEnabling the JBIG Compression feature can reduce phone-call charges by reducing fax transmission time and might be the preferred setting. However, using the JBIG Compression feature might cause compatibility problems when communicating with some older fax machines, in which case you might need to disable it.NOTE: The JBIG Compression feature works only when both the sending and receiving machines have this capability.
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.
Fax Number Speed Dial MatchingEnabling the Fax Number Speed Dial Matching can help when dialing faxes.When you dial a fax number manually, this feature checks the stored speed dial entries for a number that matches the number you enter. This can speed the dialing process and help you if you do not remember the speed dial entry number for a given fax number.If the product finds a matching speed dial entry for the fax number entered manually, you can touch Yes to send the fax to that number or have the number added to the fax distribution list.

NOTE: The product restarts automatically after the reset operation completes.

A “Cartridge is low” or “Cartridge is very low” message displays on the product control panel

Cartridge is low: The product indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now.

Cartridge is very low: The product indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP's Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.

Change the "Very Low" settings

You can change the way the product reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re-establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.

  1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch Supplies.
  2. Open the following menus:

  3. Manage Supplies
    • Supply Settings

  4. Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges
    • Very Low Settings

  5. Select one of the following options:

  6. Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the Very Low threshold.

  7. Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the Very Low threshold. You can acknowledge the prompt or replace the cartridge to resume printing.
  8. Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, and to continue printing beyond the Very Low setting without interaction. This can result in unsatisfactory print quality.

For products with fax capability

When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the product is waiting.

The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the Continue option for the toner cartridge, but print quality might degrade.

  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.

  1. Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.

A genuine HP toner cartridge has the words “HP” or “Hewlett-Packard” on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.

Clean the product

During the printing process paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the product and can cause print-quality issues such as toner specks or spatter, smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks.

Follow these steps to clean the product's paper path.

  1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the Device Maintenance button.
  2. Touch Calibration/Cleaning, touch Cleaning Page, and then touch Print to print the page.

Check paper and the printing environment

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 product 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 product away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
    • Make sure the product is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of product specifications.
  • Do not place the product in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
  • Place the product on a sturdy, level surface.
  • Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the product. The product requires good air flow on all sides, including the top.
  • Protect the product from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue inside the product.

Solve fax problems

  • 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:

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 LaserJet M680F - 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 LaserJet M680F - What type of phone line are you using? - 1

NOTE: The phone line should be for product 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 product 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 product 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 touch the Administration button.
  2. Open the following menus:

Reports
- 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 product 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.

HP LaserJet M680F - Check fax accessory status - 2

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 / 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 product fax feature or has enabled LAN fax.

Only one fax feature, either LAN fax or analog fax, can be enabled at a time.NOTE: If LAN fax is enabled, the Fax feature is unavailable on the product control panel.
Non-Operational / Enabled/Disabled1The product 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.

General fax problems

The following are some common fax problems.

The fax failed to send

JBIG is enabled, and the receiving fax machine does not have JBIG capability.

Turn off the JBIG setting.

An Out of Memory status message displays on the product control panel

The product storage disk is full.

Delete some stored jobs from the disk. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Retrieve from Device Memory button. Open the list of stored jobs or stored faxes. Select a job to delete, and then touch the Delete button.

You are using the wrong page-content setting or the wrong resolution setting.

Try setting the Optimize Text/Picture option to Photograph setting.

You touched the Stop button to cancel a fax, but the fax was still sent

If the job is too far along in the sending process, you cannot cancel the job.

This is normal operation.

No fax address book button displays

The fax address book feature has not been enabled.

Use the HP MFP Digital Sending Software Configuration utility to enable the fax address book feature.

Not able to locate the Fax settings in HP Web Jetadmin

Fax settings in HP Web Jetadmin are located under the device's status page drop-down menu.

Select Digital Sending and Fax from the drop-down menu.

The header is appended to the top of the page when the overlay option is enabled

For all forwarded faxes, the product appends the overlay header to the top of a page.

This is normal operation.

A mix of names and numbers is in the recipients box

Names and numbers can both display, depending on where they are from. The fax address book lists names, and all other databases list numbers.

This is normal operation.

A one-page fax prints as two pages

The fax header is being appended to the top of the fax, pushing text to a second page.

To print a one page fax on one page, set the overlay header to overlay mode, or adjust the fit-to-page setting.

A document stops in the document feeder in the middle of faxing

A jam is in the document feeder.

Clear the jam, and send the fax again.

The volume for sounds coming from the fax accessory is too high or too low

The volume setting needs to be adjusted.

Adjust the volume in the Fax Send Settings menu and the Fax Receive Settings menu.
