makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.  
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might answer  
the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the phone, you  
can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine answers the call,  
you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the fax tones from the  
receiving fax machine.  
To send a fax manually from an extension phone  
1. Load your original print-side down in the right-front corner of the glass or in the ADF.  
2. Touch Fax.  
3. Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the printer.  
NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the printer when manually  
sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the recipient's  
number.

4. If the recipient answers the telephone, you can engage in a conversation before  
sending your fax.  
NOTE: If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax tones from the  
receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to transmit the fax.  
5. When you are ready to send the fax, touch Start Black or Start Color.  
NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax.  
If you were speaking with the recipient before sending the fax, inform the recipient  
that they should press Start on their fax machine after they hear fax tones.  
The telephone line is silent while the fax is transmitting. At this point, you can hang  
up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient, remain on the  
line until the fax transmission is complete.  
Send a fax using monitor dialing  
Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the printer control panel as you would  
dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the  
dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the printer. This  
enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your  
dialing.  
TIP: If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the printer  
might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by  
the calling card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store  
the PIN for your calling card.  
NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on, or you will not hear a dial tone.  
To send a fax using monitor dialing from the printer control panel  
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see Load an original on the scanner  
2. Touch Fax, and then touch Start Black or Start Color.  
If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, you will  
hear a dial tone.  
3. When you hear the dial tone, enter the number by using the keypad on the printer  
control panel.  
4. Follow any prompts that might occur.  
TIP: If you are using a calling card to send a fax and you have your calling card

the document to each number in the group speed dial entry.  
NOTE: You can only use group speed dial entries to send faxes in black-and-  
white. The printer scans the fax into memory then dials the first number. When a  
connection is made, it sends the fax and dials the next number. If a number is  
busy or not answering, the printer follows the settings for Busy Redial and No  
Answer Redial. If a connection cannot be made, the next number is dialed and  
an error report is generated.  
Send a fax in Error Correction Mode  
Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by detecting  
errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the  
erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even be reduced, on good  
phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but  
sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is On. Turn ECM off only if it  
increases phone charges substantially, and if you can accept poorer quality in exchange  
for reduced charges.  
Before turning the ECM setting off, consider the following. If you turn ECM off  
The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.  
The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.  
You no longer send or receive faxes in color.  
To change the ECM setting from the control panel  
1. From the Home screen, touch right arrow , and then select Setup.  
2. Touch Fax Setup and then select Advanced Fax Setup.  
3. Touch down arrow , and then select Error Correction Mode.  
4. Select On or Off.

Chapter 5  
Receive a fax  
You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer option,  
you must receive faxes manually. If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the default  
setting), the printer automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes after the  
number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. (The default Rings  
to Answer setting is five rings.)  
If you receive a Legal-size or larger fax and the printer is not currently set to use Legal-  
size paper, the printer reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you  
have disabled the Automatic Reduction feature, the printer prints the fax on two pages.  
NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the  
printer memory until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages  
stored in memory.  
Receive a fax manually  
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking with can send you a fax while  
you are still connected. This is referred to as manual faxing. Use the instructions in this  
section to receive a manual fax.  
NOTE: You can pick up the handset to talk or listen for fax tones.  
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:  
Directly connected to the printer (on the 2-EXT port)  
On the same phone line, but not directly connected to the printer  
To receive a fax manually  
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and you have paper loaded in the main tray.  
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.  
3. Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the incoming  
call before the printer answers. Or, turn off the Auto Answer setting so that the printer  
does not automatically answer incoming calls.

Set up backup fax  
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the printer to  
store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the printer is in an error  
condition, or none of the faxes it receives.  
The following backup fax modes are available:  
On  
The default setting. When backup fax is On, the printer stores all received  
faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of the most recently  
printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.  
NOTE: When printer memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes  
as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the  
printer stops answering incoming fax calls.  
NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color  
photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.  
On Error Only  
Causes the printer to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists  
that prevents the printer from printing the faxes (for example, if the printer  
runs out of paper). The printer continues to store incoming faxes as long as  
there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the printer stops  
answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the  
faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from  
memory.  
Off  
Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn off  
backup fax for security purposes. If an error condition occurs that prevents  
the printer from printing (for example, the printer runs out of paper), the  
printer stops answering incoming fax calls.  
NOTE: If backup fax is enabled and you turn off the printer, all faxes stored in  
memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received while  
the printer was in an error condition. You must contact the senders to ask them to  
resend any unprinted faxes. For a list of the faxes you have received, print the Fax  
Log. The Fax Log is not cleared when the printer is turned off.  
To set backup fax from the printer control panel  
1. Touch right arrow , and then select Setup.  
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Fax Setup.  
3. Touch Backup Fax Reception.  
4. Touch one of the options available.  
Reprint received faxes from memory

Chapter 5  
NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten as  
new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the printer does not  
receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also  
want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.  
Depending on the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to eight of the most  
recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example, you might need to reprint  
your faxes if you lost the copy of your last printout.  
To reprint faxes in memory from the printer control panel  
1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the main tray.  
2. Touch right arrow , and then select Setup.  
3. Touch Tools , and then select Reprint Faxes in Memory.  
The faxes are printed in the reverse order from which they were received with the  
most recently received fax printed first, and so on.  
4.  
If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, touch  
(Cancel button).  
Poll to receive a fax  
Polling allows the printer to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its queue.  
When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the printer calls the designated fax machine  
and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for polling and have  
a fax ready to send.  
NOTE: The printer does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass codes are a  
security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a pass code to the  
printer it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the printer you are polling  
does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the default pass code) or the  
printer cannot receive the fax.  
To set up poll to receive a fax from the printer control panel  
1. Touch Fax, and then select Fax Settings.  
2. Touch Poll to Receive.  
3. Enter the fax number of the other fax machine.

Forwarding setting and phone number. When the power is restored to the printer,  
the Fax Forwarding setting is still On.  
NOTE: You can cancel fax forwarding by selecting Off from the Fax  
Forwarding menu.  
Set the paper size for received faxes  
You can select the paper size for received faxes. The paper size you select should match  
what is loaded in your main tray. Faxes can be printed on letter, A3, A4, or legal paper  
only.

that is too large for the default paper size. This setting is turned on by default, so the  
image of the incoming fax is reduced to fit on one page, if possible. If this feature is turned  
off, information that does not fit on the first page is printed on a second page. Automatic  
Reduction is useful when you receive a legal-size fax and letter-size paper is loaded in  
the main tray.  
Automatic Reduction is useful when you receive a fax larger than A4/Letter-size and A4/  
Letter-size paper is loaded in the main tray

Block unwanted fax numbers  
If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block specific  
fax numbers so the printer does not print faxes received from those numbers. When an  
incoming fax call is received, the printer compares the number to the list of unwanted fax  
numbers to determine if the call should be blocked. If the number matches a number in  
the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not printed. (The maximum number of fax numbers  
you can block varies by model.)  
NOTE: This feature is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not supported in  
your country/region, Junk Fax Blocker does not appear in the Basic Fax Setup  
menu.

Chapter 5  
To set the answer mode  
1. Touch right arrow , and then select Setup.  
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then select Basic Fax Setup .  
3. Touch Auto Answer, and then select On or Off.  
When Auto Answer is On, the printer answers calls automatically. When Auto  
Answer is Off, it does not answer calls.  
Set the number of rings before answering  
If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before  
incoming calls are automatically answered.  
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same  
phone line as the printer, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone  
before the printer does. The number of rings to answer for the printer should be greater  
than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.  
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to  
answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by  
country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the printer  
monitors the line. If the printer detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a voice  
call, the answering machine records the incoming message.  
To set the number of rings before answering  
1. Touch right arrow , and then select Setup.

Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring  
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several  
phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is  
assigned a different ring pattern. You can set up the printer to answer incoming calls that  
have a specific ring pattern.  
If you connect the printer to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company  
assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP  
recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the printer  
detects the specified ring pattern, it answers the call and receives the fax.  
TIP: You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer’s control  
panel to set distinctive ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the  
ring pattern of an incoming call and, based on this call, automatically determines the  
distinctive ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to fax calls.  
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All  
Rings.

Fax and digital phone services  
Many telephone companies provide their customers with digital phone services, such as  
the following:  
DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL  
might be called ADSL in your country/region.)  
PBX : A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system  
ISDN: An integrated services digital network (ISDN) system.  
FoIP: A low-cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your  
printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP).  
For more information, see Fax over Internet Protocol.  
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. If you  
are in a digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, or ISDN), you might need  
to use digital-to-analog filters or converters when setting up the printer for faxing.  
NOTE: HP does not guarantee that the printer will be compatible with all digital  
service lines or providers, in all digital environments, or with all digital-to-analog  
converters. It is always recommended that you discuss with the telephone company  
directly for the correct setup options based on their line services provided.  
Fax over Internet Protocol  
You might be able to subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and  
receive faxes with your printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over  
Internet Protocol (FoIP).  
You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) when you:  
Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or  
Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone  
ports for the fax connection.  
NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port  
labeled "1-LINE" on the printer. This means that your connection to the Internet must  
be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks  
for fax connections) or your telephone company.  
Fax over Internet Protocol  
67  
         
Chapter 5  
TIP: Support for traditional fax transmission over any Internet protocol telephone  
systems are often limited. If you experience problems faxing, try using a slower fax  
speed or disabling the fax error-correction mode (ECM). However, if you turn off ECM,  
you cannot send and receive color faxes. (For more information about changing the  
fax speed, see Set the fax speed. For more information about using ECM, see Send  
If you have questions about Internet faxing, contact your Internet faxing services support  
department or your local service provider for further assistance.  
Use reports  
You can set up the printer to print error reports and confirmation reports automatically for  
each fax you send and receive. You can also manually print system reports as required;  
these reports provide useful system information about the printer.  
By default, the printer is set to print a report only if there is a problem sending or receiving  
a fax. A confirmation message that indicates whether a fax was successfully sent appears  
briefly on the control-panel display after each transaction.  
NOTE: If the reports are not legible, you can check the estimated ink levels from the  
control panel, the HP software (Windows), or HP Utility (Mac OS X). For more  
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.  
When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available  
to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until  
print quality becomes unacceptable.  
NOTE: Ensure that the printhead and ink cartridges are in good conditions and  
installed properly. For more information, see Work with ink cartridges.

7 Work with ink cartridges  
To ensure the best print quality from the printer, you will need to perform some simple  
maintenance procedures. This section provides guidelines for handling the ink cartridges,  
instructions for replacing the ink cartridges, and aligning and cleaning the printhead.  
TIP: If you have problems scanning documents, see Print quality troubleshooting  
This section contains the following topics:  
Information on ink cartridges and the printhead  
The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.  
The instructions in this user guide are for replacing ink cartridges, and are not  
intended for first time installation.  
If you need to replace an ink cartridge, wait until you have the new ink cartridge  
available to install before removing the old cartridge.  
CAUTION: Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing  
the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an  
extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the ink  
cartridge.  
Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.  
Store ink cartridges in the same orientation packages hang on store shelves or, if out  
of box, with label facing down.  
Be sure to turn off the printer properly. For more information, see Turn off the  
Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).  
You do not need to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable,  
but a significant decrease in print quality may be the result of one or more depleted  
cartridges. It could also be caused by a clogged printhead. Possible solutions include  
checking the estimated ink levels remaining in the cartridges, and cleaning the  
printhead. Cleaning the printhead uses some ink.  
Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the  
cartridges.  
74  
Work with ink cartridges  
     
Handle ink cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation  
can cause temporary printing problems.  
If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the  
printer or other damage from occurring to the printer:  
Make sure you turn off the printer by pressing Power. The printhead assembly  
should be parked on the right side of the printer, in the service station. For more  
information, see Turn off the printer.  
Make sure you leave the ink cartridges and printhead installed.  
The printer must be transported sitting flat; it should not be placed on its side,  
back, front, or top.

Check the estimated ink levels  
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or the embedded Web  
server. For information about using these tools, see Printer management tools. You can  
also print the Printer Status page to view this information (see Understand the Printer  
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.  
When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available  
to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the  
print quality is unacceptable.  
NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that  
has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or  
unavailable.  
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different  
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges  
for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing  
smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more  
information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.

Solve a problem  
After the phone support period  
After the phone support period, help is available from HP at an additional cost. Help may  
also be available at the HP online support Web site: www.hp.com/support. Contact your  
HP dealer or call the support phone number for your country/region to learn more about  
support options.  
General troubleshooting tips and resources  
NOTE: Many of the steps below require HP software. If you did not install the HP  
software, you can install it using the HP software CD included with the printer, or you  
can download the software from the HP support Web site (www.hp.com/support).  
Try these when you begin troubleshooting a printing problem.  
For a paper jam, see Clear paper jams.  
For paper-feed problems, such as the paper skew and paper pick, see Solve paper-  
Power light is on and not blinking. When the printer is turned on for the first time, it  
takes approximately 12 minutes to initialize it after the ink cartridges are installed.  
Power cord and other cables are working, and are firmly connected to the printer.  
Make sure the printer is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC)  
power outlet, and is turned on. For voltage requirements, see Electrical  
Media is loaded correctly in the input tray and is not jammed in the printer.  
All packing tapes and materials are removed.  
The printer is set as the current or default printer. For Windows, set it as the default  
in the Printers folder. For Mac OS X, set it as the default in the Print & Fax section of  
the System Preferences. See your computer's documentation for more information.  
Pause Printing is not selected if you are using a computer running Windows.  
You are not running too many programs when you are performing a task. Close  
programs that you are not using or restart the computer before attempting the task  
again.  
Troubleshooting topics  
General troubleshooting tips and resources

Chapter 8  
Solve printing problems  
This section contains the following topics:  
The printer shuts down unexpectedly  
Check the power and power connections  
Make sure the printer is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC) power  
outlet. For voltage requirements, see Electrical requirements.  
Alignment fails  
If the alignment page appears to be only partially printed, or if it has light or white streaks,  
try cleaning the printhead.  
If the alignment process fails, make sure you have loaded unused, plain white paper into  
the input tray. If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the ink  
cartridges, the alignment fails.  
If the alignment process fails repeatedly, you might have a defective sensor or ink  
cartridge. Contact HP support. Go to www.hp.com/support. If prompted, select your  
country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.  
Printer takes a long time to print  
Check the system configuration and resources  
Make sure the computer meets the minimum system requirements for the printer. For  
more information, see System requirements.  
Check the HP software settings  
Print speed is slower when you select high print-quality settings. To increase the print  
speed, select different print settings in the printer driver. For more information, see  
Check the ink cartridge levels  
If a cartridge is completely out of ink, the printer may slow down to keep the printhead  
from overheating.  
Something on the page is missing or incorrect  
Check the ink cartridges  
Make sure the correct ink cartridges are installed and the ink cartridges are not low on  
ink. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels.  
86  
Solve a problem  
                 
Check the margin settings  
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the  
printer. For more information, see Set minimum margins.  
Check the color print settings  
Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.  
Check the printer location and length of USB cable  
High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes  
cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the  
electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than  
3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.  
Print troubleshooting

cancelled print job jams the queue and prevents the next print job from printing.  
From your computer, open the printer folder and see if the cancelled job remains in  
the print queue. Try to delete the job from the queue. If the print job remains in the  
queue, try one or both of the following:  
If the printer is connected with a USB cable, disconnect the cable from the printer,  
restart the computer, and then reconnect the USB cable to the printer.  
Shut down the printer, restart the computer, and then restart the printer.  
Cause: A deleted print job was in the queue.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 7: Clear the paper jam  
Solution: Clear the paper jam and remove any torn paper that remains in the  
printer.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The printer had a paper jam.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 8: Make sure the print carriage can move freely  
Solution: Unplug the power cable if it is not already unplugged. Check to see if the  
print carriage moves freely from one side of the printer to the other. Do not try to force  
it to move if it is hung up on something.  
CAUTION: Be careful not to force the print carriage. If the carriage is stuck,  
forcing it to move damages the printer.

Solve a problem  
       
Wrong, inaccurate, or bleeding colors  
If your printout has one of the following print quality problems, try the solutions in this  
section for help.  
Colors look wrong  
For example, green was replaced with blue in your printout.  
Colors run into each other, or look like they are smeared on the page. The edges  
might have a feathering appearance instead of being sharp and defined.  
Try the following solutions if the colors appear wrong, inaccurate, or bleed into each other.  
Solution 1: Make sure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges  
Solution: Check to see if your ink cartridges are genuine HP ink cartridges.  
HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. Genuine HP ink cartridges  
are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results,  
time after time.  
NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Printer  
service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply are not covered  
under warranty.  
If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:  
Cause: Non-HP ink cartridges were being used.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 2: Check the paper loaded in the input tray  
Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too  
thick.  
Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example, if you  
are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.  
Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is  
too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can  
happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 3: Check the paper type  
Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is  
appropriate for the printer.  
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing  
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.  
Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a  
flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper  
you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused  
photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling.  
NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore,  
replacing the ink cartridges or printhead is not necessary.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 4: Check the ink levels  
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.  
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes  
only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge  
available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink  
cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.

to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are  
set to modify the appearance of colors.  
Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded  
in the printer.  
You might need to choose a lower print quality setting if colors are running into  
each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo,  
and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper is loaded in  
the input tray.  
NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do  
when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the printer, print  
settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required.

Vertical streaks  
Printouts have vertical streaks  
Vertical Streaks are streaks that are parallel to the direction that the paper moved  
through the printer.  
Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is  
appropriate for the printer.  
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing  
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.  
Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a  
flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper  
you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused  
photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling.  
NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore,  
replacing the ink cartridges or printhead is not necessary.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.  
Printouts are slanted or skewed  
Try the following solutions if your printout does not appear straight on the page.  
Solution 1: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly  
Solution: Make sure that the paper is loaded correctly in the input tray.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The paper was not loaded correctly.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 2: Make sure only one type of paper is loaded  
Solution: Load only one type of paper at a time.  
Cause: More than one type of paper was loaded in the input tray.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Ensure that the rear access panel is securely installed  
Solution: Make sure that the rear door is securely installed.  
If you removed the rear door to clear a paper jam, replace it. Gently push the door  
forward until it snaps into place.  
Cause: The rear door was not securely installed.  
Ink streaks on the back of the paper  
Try the following solutions if there is smeared ink on the back of your printout.  
Solution 1: Print on a page of plain paper  
Solution: Print one or several pages of plain paper to soak up any excess ink in  
the printer.  
To remove excess ink using plain paper  
1. Load several sheets of plain paper in the input tray.  
2. Wait five minutes.  
3. Print a document with little or no text.  
4. Check the back of the paper for ink. If there is still ink on the back of the paper,  
try printing on another page of plain paper.  
Cause: Ink accumulated inside the printer, where the back of the paper rests during  
printing.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 2: Wait while the ink dries  
Solution: Wait at least thirty minutes for the ink inside the printer to dry, then try the  
print job again.  
Cause: The excess ink in the printer needed to dry out.  
Poor black text  
Try the following solutions if the text in your printouts is not sharp and the edges are rough.  
Solution 1: Wait before you attempt to reprint  
Solution: If the black cartridge is new, allow time for automatic servicing to clear  
up the problem. Black print quality should start to improve in a few hours. If you do

not have time to wait, you can clean the printhead, but this uses more ink, and the  
poor black text may reoccur until automatic servicing is allowed to complete.  
Cause: Many black print quality problems clear up when the automatic services are  
performed.  
Solution 2: Use TrueType or OpenType fonts  
Solution: Use TrueType or OpenType fonts to ensure that the printer is able to print  
smooth fonts. When selecting a font, look for the TrueType or OpenType icon.  
OpenType icon  
TrueType icon  
Cause: The font was a custom size.  
Some software applications offer custom fonts that have jagged edges when enlarged  
or printed. Also, if you want to print bitmapped text, it might have jagged edges when  
enlarged or printed.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 3: Align the printhead

The printer prints slowly  
Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly.  
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting  
Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best  
quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.  
Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 2: Check the ink levels  
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.  
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes  
only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge  
available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink  
cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.  
For more information, see:  
Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Insufficient ink may cause the  
printhead to overheat. When the printhead overheats, the printer slows down to allow  
it to cool.  
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.  
Solution 3: Contact HP support  
Solution: Contact HP support for service.  
If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information  
on calling for technical support.  
Cause: There was a problem with the printer.  
Printhead maintenance  
If you are experiencing problems with printing, you might have a problem with the  
printhead. You should perform the procedures in the following sections only when  
directed to do so for resolving print quality issues.  
Performing the aligning and cleaning procedures unnecessarily can waste ink and  
shorten the life of the cartridges.  
Print quality troubleshooting

Chapter 8  
This section contains the following topics:  
Clean the printhead  
If your printed output is streaked or has any incorrect or missing colors, the printhead  
might need to be cleaned.  
There are two stages of cleaning. Each stage lasts about two minutes, uses one sheet  
of paper, and uses an increasing amount of ink. After each stage, review the quality of  
the printed page. You should only initiate the next phase of cleaning if the print quality is  
poor.  
If print quality still seems poor after you complete both stages of cleaning, try aligning the  
printer. If print quality problems persist after cleaning and aligning, contact HP support.  
NOTE: Cleaning uses ink, so clean the printheads only when necessary. The  
cleaning process takes a few minutes. Some noise might be generated in the process.  
Before cleaning the printheads, make sure you load paper. For more information, see  
Not turning the printer off correctly can cause print quality problems. For more  
information, see Turn off the printer.  
To clean the printhead from the control panel  
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the main input tray.  
2. Touch right arrow , and then select Setup.  
3. Touch Tools, and then select Clean Printhead.  
Align the printhead  
The printer automatically aligns the printhead during the initial setup.  
You might want to use this feature when the printer status page shows streaking or white  
lines through any of the blocks of color or if you are having print quality issues with your  
printouts.  
To align the printhead from the control panel  
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the main input tray.  
2. On the printer control panel, touch right arrow , and then touch Setup.  
3. Touch Tools, and then select Align Printer.  
Print and evaluate a print quality report  
Print quality problems can have many causes: software settings, a poor image file, or the  
printing system itself. If you are unhappy with the quality of your prints, a Print Quality  
Diagnostic page can help you determine if the printing system is working correctly.

Ink Levels  
Look at the Ink Level indicators in Line 21. If any of the bar level indicators are low,  
you may need to replace that ink cartridge.  
NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning  
purposes only. When you receive an ink alert message, consider having a  
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need  
to replace cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.  
Good color bars  
Example of Good Color Bars All seven bars are solid, sharp-edged, and extend with uniform  
color all the way across the page - the printer is operating correctly.  
Look at the color bars in the middle of the page. There should be seven color bars.  
The color bars should have sharp edges. They should be solid (not streaked with  
white or other colors). They should be uniform in color throughout.  
The bars correspond to the ink cartridges in the printer as follows:

Example of Bad Color Bars The top bar is irregularly streaked or fading.  
Example of Bad Color Bars The top black bar is ragged on one end.  
If any of the bars are ragged, irregularly streaked, or faded, follow these steps:  
1. Make sure the ink cartridges have ink.  
2. Remove the cartridge corresponding to the streaked bar and make sure it is correctly  
vented. For more information, see Replace the ink cartridges.  
3. Reinstall the cartridge and make sure all the cartridges are correctly latched. For more  
4. Clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead  
5. Try another print or reprint the Print Quality Diagnostic report. If the problem still  
occurs, but cleaning seems to have helped, clean again.  
6. If cleaning does not solve the problem, replace the cartridge that corresponds to the  
ragged bar.  
7. If replacing the ink cartridge does not help, contact HP - the printhead may need to  
be replaced.  
Preventing the problem that causes ragged bars on the Print Quality Diagnostic  
report:  
Avoid leaving opened ink cartridges outside of the printer for an extended period of  
time.  
Wait until a new cartridge is ready to be installed before removing an old ink cartridge.

1. If the Print Quality Diagnostic report reads PHA TTOE = 0, align the printer. For more  
information, see Align the printhead.  
2. "If PHA TTOE is not 0," or aligning does not help, clean the printhead. For more  
information, see Clean the printhead.  
3. Print another Print Quality Diagnostic report. If the streaking is still there, but seems  
better, try another cleaning. If the streaking gets worse, contact HP - the printhead  
may need to be replaced.  
Bar colors are not uniform  
Print quality bars are not uniform The bars have lighter or darker portions in them.  
If the color of any of the bars is not uniform, follow these steps:  
1. If the printer was recently transported at a high altitude, try a printhead cleaning.  
2. If the printer was not recently transported, try printing another Print Quality Diagnostic  
report. This uses less ink than a printhead cleaning, but if it is not effective, try a  
cleaning.  
3. Retry the Print Quality Diagnostic report. If the colors seem to be improving, continue  
cleaning. If the colors get worse, contact HP - the printhead may need to be replaced.

Large Black Font Text  
Look at the large-font text above the color blocks. I ABCDEFG abcdefg The type should  
be sharp and clear. If the type is jagged, try aligning the printer. If there are streaks or  
smears of ink, clean the printhead.  
Example of good Large-Font Type The letters are sharp and clear - the printer is operating  
correctly.  
Example of bad Large-Font Type The letters are jagged - align the printer.  
Example of bad Large-Font Type The letters are smeared - clean the printhead and check if the  
paper is curled. To avoid curl, store all paper flat in a  
resealable bag.  
Example of bad Large-Font Type The letters are ragged on one end - clean the printhead. If this  
defect occurs right after a new black cartridge is installed, the  
printer's automatic servicing routines may solve the problem  
in a day or so, using less ink than a printhead cleaning.  
Alignment Patterns  
If the color bars and large font text look OK, and the ink cartridges are not empty, look at  
the alignment pattern directly above the color bars.  
Example of a good alignment pattern The lines are straight.

If you see no defects  
If you do not see any defects on the print quality report, then the printing system is working  
correctly. There is no reason to replace supplies or have the printer serviced, because  
they are functioning correctly. If you still have a print quality problem, here are some other  
things you can check:  
Check the paper.  
Check the print settings.  
Make sure your image has sufficient resolution.  
If the problem seems confined to a band near the edge of your printout, use the HP

When you scan the original, make sure that you select a document type that  
creates editable text. If text is classified as a graphic, it is not converted to text.  
If you are using a separate OCR (optical character recognition) program, the OCR  
program might be linked to a word-processing program that does not perform  
OCR tasks. For more information, see the documentation provided with the OCR  
program.  
Make sure you have selected an OCR language that corresponds to the language  
used for the document you are scanning. For more information, see the  
documentation provided with the OCR program.  
Check the originals  
When scanning documents as editable text from the ADF, the original must be  
loaded into the ADF with the top forward and face up. When scanning from the  
scanner glass, the original must be loaded with the top facing the right edge of  
the scanner glass. Also, make sure the document is not skewed. For more  
The software might not recognize text that is tightly spaced. For example, if the  
text that the software converts has missing or combined characters, "rn" might  
appear as "m."  
The accuracy of the software depends on the image quality, text size, and  
structure of the original and the quality of the scan itself. Make sure that your  
original has good image quality.  
Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend too much.  
Error messages appear  
"Unable to activate TWAIN source" or "An error occurred while acquiring the  
image"  
If you are acquiring an image from another device, such as a digital camera or another  
scanner, make sure that the other device is TWAIN-compliant. Devices that are not  
TWAIN-compliant do not work with the HP software.  
Make sure that you have connected the USB cable to the correct port on the back of  
your computer.  
Verify that the correct TWAIN source is selected. In the software, check the TWAIN  
source by selecting Select Scanner on the File menu.  
Scanned image quality is poor  
The original is a second-generation photo or picture  
Reprinted photographs, such as those in newspapers or magazines, are printed by using  
tiny dots of ink that make an interpretation of the original photograph, which degrades the  
quality. Often, the ink dots form unwanted patterns that can be detected when the image

Solve a problem  
           
is scanned or printed or when the image appears on a screen. If the following suggestions  
do not solve the problem, you might need to use a better-quality version of the original.  
To eliminate the patterns, try reducing the size of the image after scanning.  
Print the scanned image to see if the quality is better.  
Make sure that the resolution and color settings are correct for the type of scan job.  
Text or images on the back of a two-sided original appear in the scan  
Two-sided originals can "bleed" text or images from the back side to the scan if the  
originals are printed on media that is too thin or too transparent.  
The scanned image is skewed (crooked)  
The original might have been placed incorrectly. Be sure to use the media guides when  
you place the original on the scanner glass. For more information, see Load an original  
The image quality is better when printed  
The image that appears on the screen is not always an accurate representation of the  
quality of the scan.  
Try adjusting your computer monitor settings to use more colors (or levels of gray).  
On Windows computers, you typically make this adjustment by opening Display on  
the Windows control panel.  
Try adjusting the resolution and color settings.  
The scanned image shows blots, lines, vertical white stripes, or other defects  
If the scanner glass is dirty, the image produced does not have optimum clarity. See  
Maintain the printer for cleaning instructions.  
The defects might be on the original and not a result of the scanning process.  
Graphics look different from the original  
The graphics settings might not be suitable for the type of scan job that you are  
performing. Try changing the graphics settings.  
Take steps to improve the scan quality  
Use high-quality originals.  
Place the media correctly. If the media is placed incorrectly on the scanner glass, it  
might skew, which causes unclear images. For more information, see Load an original  
Adjust the software settings according to how you plan to use the scanned page.  
Use or make a carrier sheet to protect your originals.  
Clean the scanner glass. See Clean the scanner glass for more information.  
Scan defects are apparent

Solution:  
Turn off the printer by using the Power button located on the printer control panel  
and then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. After a few seconds,  
plug the power cord in again, and then turn the power on. Run the test again. If  
the test fails again, continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this  
section.  
Try to send or receive a test fax. If you can send or receive a fax successfully,  
there might not be a problem.  
If you are running the test from the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Setup  
Assistant (Mac OS X), make sure the printer is not busy completing another task,  
such as receiving a fax or making a copy. Check the display for a message  
indicating that the printer is busy. If it is busy, wait until it is finished and in the idle  
state before running the test.  
Make sure you use the phone cord that came with the printer. If you do not use  
the supplied phone cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer,  
you might not be able to send or receive faxes. After you plug in the phone cord  
that came with the printer, run the fax test again.  
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a  
two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter  
and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.  
After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes  
and the printer is ready for faxing. If the Fax Hardware Test continues to fail and you

two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter  
and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.  
If your telephone system is not using a standard dial tone, such as some PBX  
systems, this might cause the test to fail. This does not cause a problem sending  
or receiving faxes. Try sending or receiving a test fax.  
Check to make sure the country/region setting is set appropriately for your  
country/region. If the country/region setting is not set or is set incorrectly, the test  
might fail and you might have problems sending and receiving faxes.  
Make sure you connect the printer to an analog phone line or you cannot send or  
receive faxes. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular analog  
phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal sounding

Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be in use.  
For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if an extension phone is off the  
hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access  
the Internet.  
Check to see if another process has caused an error. Check the display or your  
computer for an error message providing information about the problem and how  
to solve it. If there is an error, the printer does not send or receive a fax until the  
error condition is resolved.  
The phone line connection might be noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality  
(noise) can cause faxing problems. Check the sound quality of the phone line by  
plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise.  
If you hear noise, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing again.  
For more information, see Send a fax in Error Correction Mode.  
If you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service, make sure that you have  
a DSL filter connected or you cannot fax successfully. For more information, see  
Make sure the printer is not connected to a telephone wall jack that is set up for  
digital phones. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular analog  
phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal sounding  
dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones.  
If you are using either a private branch exchange (PBX) or an integrated services  
digital network (ISDN) converter/terminal adapter, make sure the printer is  
connected to the correct port and the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch  
type for your country/region, if possible. For more information, see Case C: Set  
If the printer shares the same phone line with a DSL service, the DSL modem  
might not be correctly grounded. If the DSL modem is not correctly grounded, it  
can create noise on the phone line. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise)  
can cause faxing problems. You can check the sound quality of the phone line by  
plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise.  
If you hear noise, turn off your DSL modem and completely remove power for at  
least 15 minutes. Turn the DSL modem back on and listen to the dial tone again.  
NOTE: You might notice static on the phone line again in the future. If the  
printer stops sending and receiving faxes, repeat this process.  
If the phone line is still noisy, contact your telephone company. For information  
on turning your DSL modem off, contact your DSL provider for support.  
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a

The printer cannot receive faxes, but can send faxes  
Solution:  
If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to make sure that the  
Distinctive Ring feature on the printer is set to All Rings. For more information,  
If Auto Answer is set to Off, you need to receive faxes manually; otherwise, the  
printer does not receive the fax. For information on receiving faxes manually, see  
If you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls,  
you must receive faxes manually, not automatically. This means that you must be  
available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. For information on setting up  
the printer when you have a voice mail service, see Case F: Shared voice/fax line  
with voice mail. For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax  
If you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line with the printer,  
check to make sure that the software that came with your modem is not set to  
receive faxes automatically. Modems that are set up to receive faxes  
automatically take over the phone line to receive all incoming faxes, which  
prevents the printer from receiving fax calls.  
If you have an answering machine on the same phone line with the printer, you  
might have one of the following problems:  
Your answering machine might not be set up correctly with the printer.  
Your outgoing message might be too long or too loud to allow the printer to  
detect fax tones, and the sending fax machine might disconnect.  
Your answering machine might not have enough quiet time after your outgoing  
message to allow the printer to detect fax tones. This problem is most common  
with digital answering machines.  
The following actions might help solve these problems:  
When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for  
fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the printer as  
Make sure the printer is set to receive faxes automatically. For information on

Solve fax problems  
145  
   
Chapter 8  
Disconnect the answering machine and then try receiving a fax. If faxing is  
successful without the answering machine, the answering machine might be  
causing the problem.  
Reconnect the answering machine and record your outgoing message again.  
Record a message that is approximately 10 seconds in duration. Speak slowly  
and at a low volume when recording your message. Leave at least 5 seconds  
of silence at the end of the voice message. There should be no background  
noise when recording this silent time. Try to receive a fax again.  
NOTE: Some digital answering machines might not retain the recorded  
silence at the end of your outgoing message. Play back your outgoing  
message to check.  
If the printer shares the same phone line with other types of phone equipment,  
such as an answering machine, a computer dial-up modem, or a multi-port switch  
box, the fax signal level might be reduced. The signal level can also be reduced  
if you use a splitter or connect extra cables to extend the length of your phone. A  
reduced fax signal can cause problems during fax reception.  
To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything except  
the printer from the phone line, and then try to receive a fax. If you can receive  
faxes successfully without the other equipment, one or more pieces of the other  
equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and receiving  
a fax each time, until you identify which equipment is causing the problem.  
If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using a distinctive  
ring service through your telephone company), make sure that the Distinctive  
Ring feature on the printer is set to match. For more information, see Change the  
The printer cannot send faxes, but can receive faxes  
Solution:  
The printer might be dialing too fast or too soon. You might need to insert some  
pauses in the number sequence. For example, if you need to access an outside  
line before dialing the phone number, insert a pause following the access number.  
If your number is 95555555, and 9 accesses an outside line, you might insert  
pauses as follows: 9-555-5555. To enter a pause in the fax number you are typing,  
touch Space (#) repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.  
You can also send the fax using monitor dialing. This enables you to listen to the  
phone line as you dial. You can set the pace of your dialing and respond to  
prompts as you dial. For more information, see Send a fax using monitor  
The number you entered when sending the fax is not in the correct format or the  
receiving fax machine is having problems. To check this, try calling the fax number  
from a telephone and listen for fax tones. If you cannot hear fax tones, the  
receiving fax machine might not be turned on or connected, or a voice mail service  
could be interfering with the recipient's phone line. You can also ask the recipient  
to check the receiving fax machine for any problems.

Solve a problem  
   
Fax tones are recorded on my answering machine  
Solution:  
When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for fax  
calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the printer as described in  
answering machine as recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your  
answering machine.  
Make sure the printer is set to receive faxes automatically and that the Rings to  
Answer setting is correct. The number of rings to answer for the printer should  
be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine. If the  
answering machine and the printer are set to the same number of rings to answer,  
both devices answer the call and fax tones are recorded on the answering  
machine.  
Set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to answer  
in the maximum number of rings supported. (The maximum number of rings varies  
by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the  
printer monitors the line. If the printer detects fax tones, the printer receives the  
fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming  
message. For more information, see Set the number of rings before answering.  
The phone cord that came with my printer is not long enough  
Solution: If the phone cord that came with the printer is not long enough, you can  
use a coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler at an electronics store  
that carries phone accessories. You also need another phone cord, which can be a  
standard phone cord that you might already have in your home or office.  
TIP: If the printer came with a 2-wire phone cord adaptor, you can use it with a  
4-wire phone cord to extend the length. For information on using the 2-wire phone  
cord adaptor, see the documentation that came with it.  
To extend your phone cord  
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to the  
coupler, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the  
printer.

Chapter 8  
Step 1: Make sure your computer is connected to your network  
To check a wired (Ethernet) connection  
Many computers have indicator lights beside the port where the Ethernet cable from  
the router connects to your computer. Usually there are two indicator lights, one that  
is on and another that blinks. If your computer has indicator lights, check to see if the  
indicator lights are on. If the lights are not on, try reconnecting the Ethernet cable to  
the computer and the router. If you still do not see lights, there might be a problem  
with the router, the Ethernet cable, or your computer.  
NOTE: Macintosh computers do not have indicator lights. To check the Ethernet  
connection on a Macintosh computer, click System Preferences in the Dock, and  
then click Network. If the Ethernet connection is working correctly, Built-in  
Ethernet appears in the list of connections, along with the IP address and other  
status information. If Built-in Ethernet does not appear in the list, there might be  
a problem with the router, the Ethernet cable, or your computer. For more  
information, click Help in the window.  
To check a wireless connection  
1. Make sure that your computer's wireless has been turned on. (For more information,  
see the documentation that came with your computer.)  
2. If you are not using a unique network name (SSID), then it is possible that your  
wireless computer could be connected to a nearby network that is not yours.

can also access HP Network Assistant at www.hp.com/sbso/wireless/tools-setup.html?  
jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN for help in setting up a network. (This Web site is only  
available in English.)  
Step 2: Make sure that the printer is connected to your network  
If your printer is not connected to the same network as your computer, you cannot use  
the printer over the network. Follow the steps described in this section to find out if your  
printer is actively connected to the correct network.  
NOTE: If your wireless router or Apple AirPort Base Station is using a hidden SSID,  
your printer does not automatically detect the network.  
A: Make sure the printer is on the network  
1. If the printer supports Ethernet networking and is connected to an Ethernet network,  
make sure an Ethernet cable is not plugged into the back of the printer. If an Ethernet  
cable is plugged into the back, then wireless connectivity is disabled.  
2. If the printer is connected to a wireless network, print the printer's Wireless  
Configuration page. For more information, see Understand the network configuration  
page.  
After the page has been printed, check the Network Status and URL:  
Network Status  
If the Network Status is Ready, the  
printer is actively connected to a  
network.  
If the Network Status is Offline, the  
printer is not connected to a network.  
Run the Wireless Network Test (using  
the instructions at the beginning of this  
section) and follow any  
recommendations.  
URL  
The URL shown here is the network  
address assigned to the printer by your

Chapter 8  
B: Check to see if you can access the EWS  
After you establish that the computer and the printer both have active connections to  
a network, you can verify if they are on the same network by accessing the printer's  
embedded Web server (EWS). For more information, see Embedded Web server.  
To access the EWS  
a. On your computer, open the Web browser you typically use to access the Internet  
(for example, Internet Explorer or Safari). In the address box, type the URL of the  
printer as it was shown on the network configuration page (for example, http://  
192.168.1.101).  
NOTE: If you are using a proxy server in your browser, you might need to  
disable it to access the EWS.  
b. If you can access the EWS, try using the printer over the network (such as to print)  
to see if your network setup was successful.  
c. If you cannot access the EWS or are still having problems using the printer over  
the network, continue to the next section regarding firewalls.  
Step 3: Check to see if the firewall software is blocking communication  
If you cannot access the EWS and are sure both the computer and printer have active  
connections to the same network, the firewall security software might be blocking  
communication. Temporarily turn off any firewall security software running on your  
computer and then try to access the EWS again. If you can access the EWS, try using  
the printer (for printing).  
If you are able to access the EWS and use your printer with the firewall turned off, you  
will need to reconfigure your firewall settings to allow the computer and printer to  
communicate with each other over the network. For more information, see Configure your  
If you are able to access the EWS, but are still unable to use the printer even with the  
firewall turned off, try enabling the firewall software to recognize the printer.  
Step 4: Make sure the printer is online and ready  
If you have the HP software installed, you can check the printer’s status from your  
computer to see if the printer is paused or offline, preventing you from using it.  
To check the printer’s status, complete the following steps:  
Windows  
1. On the computer desktop, click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers or  
Printers and Faxes.  
- Or -  
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.  
2. If the printers on your computer are not being displayed in Details view, click the  
View menu, and then click Details.  
154  
Solve a problem  
   
3. Do one of the following, depending on the printer status:  
a. If the printer is Offline, right-click the printer, and click Use Printer Online.  
b. If the printer is Paused, right-click the printer, and click Resume Printing.  
4. Try using the printer over the network.  
Mac OS X  
1. Click System Preferences in the Dock, and then click Print & Fax.  
2. Select the printer, and then click Print Queue.  
3. If Jobs Stopped appears in the dialog box, click Start Jobs.  
If you can use the printer after performing the steps above but find that the symptoms  
persist as you continue to use the printer, your firewall might be interfering. If you still  
cannot use the printer over the network, continue to the next section for additional  
troubleshooting help.  
Step 5: Make sure the wireless version of the printer is set as the default printer  
driver (Windows only)  
If you install the HP software again, the installer might create a second version of the  
printer driver in your Printers or Printers and Faxes folder. If you have difficulties printing  
or connecting to the printer, make sure the correct version of the printer driver is set as  
the default.  
1. On the computer desktop, click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers or  
Printers and Faxes.  
- Or -  
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.  
2. Determine if the version of the printer driver in the Printers or Printers and Faxes  
folder is connected wirelessly:  
a. Right-click the printer icon, and then click Properties, Document Defaults, or  
Printing Preferences.  
b. On the Ports tab, look for a port in the list with a checkmark. The version of the  
printer driver that is connected wirelessly has Standard TCP/IP Port as the Port  
description, next to the checkmark.  
3. Right-click the printer icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected  
wirelessly, and then click Set as Default Printer.  
NOTE: If there is more than one icon in the folder for the printer, right-click the printer  
icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly, and then click  
Set as Default Printer.  
Step 6: Make sure the HP Network Devices Support service is running (Windows  
only)  
To restart the HP Network Device Support service  
1. Delete any print jobs currently in the print queue.  
2. On the computer desktop, right-click My Computer or Computer, and then click  
Manage.  
3. Double-click Services and Applications, and then click Services.  
Solve wireless problems  
155  
   
Chapter 8  
4. Scroll down the list of services, right click HP Network Devices Support, and then  
click Restart.  
5. After the service restarts, try using the printer over the network again.  
If you are able to use the printer over the network, your network setup was successful.  
If you still cannot use the printer over the network or if you have to periodically perform  
this step in order to use your printer over the network, your firewall might be interfering.  
If this still does not work, there might be a problem with your network configuration or  
router. Contact the person who set up your network or the router manufacturer for help.  
Step 7: Add hardware addresses to a wireless access point (WAP)  
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a wireless access point (WAP) is configured  
with a list of MAC addresses (also called “hardware addresses”) of devices that are  
allowed to gain access to the network through the WAP. If the WAP does not have the  
hardware address of a device attempting to access the network, the WAP denies the  
device access to the network. If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the printer’s MAC  
address must be added to the WAP’s list of accepted MAC addresses.  
Print the network configuration page. For more information, see Understand the  
Open the WAP’s configuration utility, and add the printer’s hardware address to the  
list of accepted MAC addresses.  
Configure your firewall to work with printers  
A personal firewall, which is security software running on your computer, can block  
network communication between your printer and your computer.  
If you are having problems such as:  
Printer not found when installing HP software  
Unable to print, print job stuck in queue or printer goes offline  
Scan communication errors or scanner busy messages  
Unable to see printer status on your computer  
The firewall might be preventing your printer from notifying computers on your network  
where it can be found. If the HP software cannot find the printer during installation (and  
you know the printer is on the network), or you have already successfully installed HP  
software and experience problems, try the following:  
1. If you are using a computer running Windows, in the firewall configuration utility, look  
for an option to trust computers on the local subnet (sometimes called the “scope“ or  
“zone“). By trusting all computers on the local subnet, computers and devices in your  
home or office can communicate with each other while still being protected from the  
internet. This is the easiest approach to use.  
2. If you do not have the option to trust computers on the local subnet, add incoming  
UDP port 427 to your firewall’s list of allowed ports.  
NOTE: Not all firewalls require you to differentiate between incoming and  
outgoing ports, but some do.  
156  
Solve a problem  
     
Another common problem is that HP software is not set as a trusted software by your  
firewall to access the network. This can happen if you answered “block“ to any firewall  
dialog boxes that appeared when you installed the HP software.  
If this occurs, and if you are using a computer running Windows, check that the following  
programs are in your firewall’s list of trusted applications; add any that are missing.  
hpqkygrp.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\ digital imaging\bin  
hpqscnvw.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\ digital imaging\bin  
- or -  
hpiscnapp.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\ digital imaging\bin  
hpqste08.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\ digital imaging\bin  
hpqtra08.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\ digital imaging\bin  
hpqthb08.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\ digital imaging\bin  
NOTE: Refer to your firewall documentation on how to configure the firewall port  
settings and how to add HP files to the “trusted“ list.  
Some firewalls continue to cause interference even after you disable them. If you  
continue to have problems after configuring the firewall as described above and if you  
are using a computer running Windows, you might need to uninstall the firewall  
software in order to use the printer over the network.  
Advanced firewall information  
The following ports are also used by your printer and might need to be opened on your  
firewall configuration. Incoming ports (UDP) are destination ports on the computer while  
outgoing ports (TCP) are destination ports on the printer.  
Incoming (UDP) ports: 137, 138, 161, 427  
Outgoing (TCP) ports: 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500  
The ports are used for the following functions:

Clear jams  
Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a job. Try the following remedies to reduce  
jams.  
Make sure that you are printing with media that meets specifications. For more  
information, see Media specifications.  
Make sure that you are printing with media that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.  
Make sure that the printer is clean. For more information, see Maintain the printer.  
Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more  
information, see Load media.  
This section contains the following topics:  
Clear paper jams  
If the paper was loaded in the main tray, you might need to clear the paper jam from the  
rear door.  
Paper can also jam in the automatic document feeder (ADF). Several common actions  
can cause paper to jam the ADF:  
Placing too much paper in the ADF tray. For information on the maximum number of  
sheets allowed in the ADF, see Load an original on the scanner glass.  
Using paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.  
Trying to add paper to the ADF tray while the printer is feeding pages.  
164  
Solve a problem  
       
To clear a paper jam from the rear door  
Use these steps to clear a paper jam.  
1. Press in the tab on the left side of the rear door to release the door. Remove the door  
by pulling it away from the printer.  
CAUTION: Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the printer can damage  
the print mechanism. Always access and clear paper jams through the rear door.  
2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.  
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check  
the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the  
printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper  
jams are likely to occur.  
3. Replace the rear door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place.  
4. Touch OK to continue the current job.  
Clear jams  
165  
Chapter 8  
To clear a paper jam in the automatic document feeder (ADF)  
1. Lift the cover of the ADF.  
2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.  
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check  
the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the  
printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper  
jams are likely to occur.  
3. Close the cover of the ADF.  
Avoid paper jams  
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.  
Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.  
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.  
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.  
Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack  
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.  
Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure  
the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.  
Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.  
Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see  
NOTE: Humidity may cause paper to curl and hence paper jam.

Guidelines for two-sided (duplex) printing  
Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications. For more information, see Media  
Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper  
lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/m2). Jams might occur with  
these media types.  
Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page.  
These include letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes.  
When you print from a computer running Windows, the printer prints the first side of the media  
first. Load the media with the print side facing down.

Notice to users of the U.S. telephone network: FCC requirements  
Notice to users of the U.S. telephone network: FCC requirements  
This equipment complies with FCC rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label that  
contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalent  
Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone  
company.  
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This  
equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using  
a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. This equipment connects to the  
telephone network through the following standard network interface jack: USOC  
RJ-11C.  
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone  
line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices  
on one line might result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not  
all, areas the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the  
number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call  
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.  
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company might  
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance  
notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of  
your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company might make changes  
in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation  
of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so you will have the  
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service. If you experience trouble with this equipment,  
please contact the manufacturer, or look elsewhere in this manual, for warranty or repair  
information. Your telephone company might ask you to disconnect this equipment from the  
network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not  
malfunctioning.  
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.  
Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact your state public utility commis-  
sion, public service commission, or corporation commission for more information.  
This equipment includes automatic dialing capability. When programming and/or making  
test calls to emergency numbers:  
Remain on the line and explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.  
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.  
Note The FCC hearing aid compatibility rules for telephones are not applicable  
to this equipment.  
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a  
computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message unless  
such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page  
or on the first page of transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the  
business, other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number  
of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number  
provided might not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local  
or long-distance transmission charges.) In order to program this information into your fax  
machine, you should complete the steps described in the software.

Notice to users of the Canadian telephone network  
Note à l’attention des utilisateurs du réseau téléphonique  
canadien/Notice to users of the Canadian telephone network  
Cet appareil est conforme aux spécifications techniques des équipements terminaux  
d’Industrie Canada. Le numéro d’enregistrement atteste de la conformité de l’appareil.  
L’abréviation IC qui précède le numéro d’enregistrement indique que l’enregistrement a été  
effectué dans le cadre d’une Déclaration de conformité stipulant que les spécifications  
techniques d’Industrie Canada ont été respectées. Néanmoins, cette abréviation ne signifie  
en aucun cas que l’appareil a été validé par Industrie Canada.  
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs doivent s’assurer que les prises électriques reliées  
à la terre de la source d’alimentation, des lignes téléphoniques et du circuit métallique  
d’alimentation en eau sont, le cas échéant, branchées les unes aux autres. Cette précaution  
est particulièrement importante dans les zones rurales.  
Remarque Le numéro REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) attribué à chaque  
appareil terminal fournit une indication sur le nombre maximal de terminaux qui  
peuvent être connectés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une  
interface peut se composer de n’importe quelle combinaison d’appareils, à  
condition que le total des numéros REN ne dépasse pas 5.  
Basé sur les résultats de tests FCC Partie 68, le numéro REN de ce produit est 0.0B.  
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical  
Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation IC before the  
registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of  
Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not  
imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the  
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are  
connected together. This precaution might be particularly important in rural areas.  
Note The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) assigned to each terminal device  
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be  
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface might consist  
of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the  
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.  
The REN for this product is 0.0B, based on FCC Part 68 test results.

C Additional fax setup  
After completing all the steps in the getting started guide, use the instructions in this section to  
complete your fax setup. Keep your getting started guide for later use.  
In this section, you learn how to set up the printer so that faxing works successfully with equipment  
and services you might already have on the same phone line.  
TIP: You can also use the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Setup Assistant (Mac OS X) to  
help you quickly set up some important fax settings such as the answer mode and fax header  
information. You can access these tools through the HP software you installed with the printer.  
After you run these tools, follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.  
This section contains the following topics:  
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)  
Before you begin setting up the printer for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/  
region uses. The instructions for fax setup differ depending on whether you have a serial- or parallel-  
type phone system.  
If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you might have a serial-type phone  
system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your shared telephone equipment  
(modems, phones, and answering machines) does not allow a physical connection to the "2-  
EXT" port on the printer. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.  
NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone cord that  
came with the printer might have an additional wall plug attached to it. This enables you to  
connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug in the printer.  
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/  
region.  
If your country/region is listed in the table below, you might have a parallel-type telephone  
system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared telephone equipment  
to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of the printer.  
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire  
phone cord supplied with the printer to connect it to the telephone wall jack.

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your  
telephone company.  
This section contains the following topics:  
Choose the correct fax setup for your home or office  
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same  
phone line with the printer. This is important because you might need to connect some of your  
existing office equipment directly to the printer, and you might also need to change some fax settings  
before you can fax successfully.  
1. Determine if your telephone system is serial or parallel (see Set up faxing (parallel phone  
a. Serial-type telephone system — See Serial-type fax setup.  
b. Parallel-type telephone system — Go to step 2.  
2. Select the combination of equipment and services sharing your fax line.  
DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL might  
be called ADSL in your country/region.)  
PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital  
network (ISDN) system.  
Distinctive ring service: A distinctive ring service through your telephone company provides  
multiple telephone numbers with different ring patterns.  
Voice calls: Voice calls are received at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the  
printer.  
Computer dial-up modem: A computer dial-up modem is on the same phone line as the  
printer. If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial-  
up modem:  
Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software applications  
through a dial-up connection?  
Do you send and receive e-mail messages on your computer through a dial-up  
connection?  
Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection?  
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)

Appendix C  
Answering machine: An answering machine that answers voice calls at the same phone  
number you use for fax calls on the printer.  
Voice mail service: A voice mail subscription through your telephone company at the same  
number you use for fax calls on the printer.  
3. From the following table, choose the combination of equipment and services applicable to your  
home or office setting. Then look up the recommended fax setup. Step-by-step instructions are  
included for each case in the sections that follow.  
NOTE: If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the printer as you  
would a regular analog phone. Make sure you use the phone cord supplied in the box to connect  
one end to your telephone wall jack and the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of  
the printer. If you use another phone cord, you might experience problems sending and receiving  
faxes.  
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/  
region.

Appendix C  
To set up the printer with a separate fax line  
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone  
wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.  
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for  
your country/region.  
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer,  
you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone  
cords you might already have in your home or office.  
2. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.  
3. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).  
4. Run a fax test.  
When the phone rings, the printer answers automatically after the number of rings you set in the  
Rings to Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine  
and receives the fax.  
Case B: Set up the printer with DSL  
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any equipment to  
the printer, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall  
jack and the printer. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the printer, so  
the printer can communicate correctly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your  
country/region.)  
NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you cannot send and  
receive faxes with the printer.

provided for your country/region.  
204  
Additional fax setup  
   
To set up the printer with DSL  
1. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.  
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to the open port on  
the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the  
printer.  
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for  
your country/region.  
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the printer, you might  
not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords  
you might already have in your home or office.  
As only one phone cord is supplied, you might need to obtain additional phone cords for this  
setup.  
3. Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.  
4. Run a fax test.  
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service  
provider or vendor for further assistance.  
Case C: Set up the printer with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line  
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter, make sure you  
do the following:  
If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the printer to the  
port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make sure that the terminal adapter is set  
to the correct switch type for your country/region, if possible.  
NOTE: Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific phone equipment.  
For example, you might have assigned one port for telephone and Group 3 fax and another  
port for multiple purposes. If you have problems when connected to the fax/phone port of  
your ISDN converter, try using the port designated for multiple purposes; it might be labeled  
"multi-combi" or something similar.  
If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to "off."  
NOTE: Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to "on" by default.  
The call waiting tone interferes with any fax transmission, and you cannot send or receive  
faxes with the printer. Refer to the documentation that came with your PBX phone system  
for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting tone.  
If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before dialing the fax  
number.  
Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer. If  
you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from  
the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is  
too short, you can purchase a coupler from your local electronics store and extend it.  
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/  
region.  
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service  
provider or vendor for further assistance.

Appendix C  
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line  
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that allows you to  
have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern, set up the printer  
as described in this section.

answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.  
TIP: You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer’s control panel to  
set distinctive ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of  
an incoming call and, based on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern  
assigned by your telephone company to fax calls. For more information, see Change the

3. Now you need to decide how you want the printer to answer calls, automatically or manually:  
If you set up the printer to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and  
receives faxes. The printer cannot distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if  
you suspect the call is a voice call, you must answer it before the printer answers the call.  
To set up the printer to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.  
If you set up the printer to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in  
person to incoming fax calls or the printer cannot receive faxes. To set up the printer to  
answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.  
4. Run a fax test.  
If you pick up the phone before the printer answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax  
machine, you need to answer the fax call manually.  
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service  
provider or vendor for further assistance.  
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail  
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also subscribe to  
a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the printer as described in this section.  
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same  
phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be  
available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically  
instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain  
a separate phone line for faxing.

You may set up the printer for wireless communication.  
Set up the printer for wireless communication  
225  
               
Appendix D  
NOTE: If you encounter problems, see Solve wireless problems.  
Make sure the printer is not connected to the network using a network cable.  
The sending device must have built-in 802.11 capabilities or an 802.11 wireless card installed.  
The printer and the computers that use it must be on the same subnet.  
Before installing the HP software, you might want to find out the settings of your network. Obtain the  
information from your system administrators, or complete the following tasks:  
Obtain your network's network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) and communication mode  
(infrastructure or ad hoc) from the configuration utility for the network's wireless access point  
(WAP) or the computer's network card.  
Find out the type of encryption your network uses, such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).  
Find out the security password or encryption key of the wireless device.  
This section contains the following topics:  
To set up a wireless communication using the Wireless Setup Wizard  
The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to set up and manage a wireless connection (both  
infrastructure and ad hoc connections) to your printer.  
NOTE: To connect to an infrastructure network, you must have a wireless network set up and  
running.  
1. Set up the printer hardware. See the getting started guide or the setup poster that came with  
your printer.  
2. On the printer control panel, touch right arrow , and then select Network.  
3. Touch Wireless, select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch OK.  
4. Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.  
NOTE: If you cannot find the network name (SSID) and WPA key or WEP passphrase, contact  
your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless network..  
NOTE: If you want to connect the printer using an ad hoc connection, connect your computer  
to the network name (SSID) “hpsetup“. (This network name is the default, ad hoc network created  
by the printer.)  
If your printer was previously configured for a different network, you can restore the network  
defaults to enable the printer to use “hpsetup“. To restore the network defaults complete the  
following steps:  
Understand 802.11 wireless network settings  
Network name (SSID)  
By default, the printer looks for the wireless network name or SSID named "hpsetup." Your network  
may have a different SSID.  
Communication mode  
226  
Network setup  
       
There are two communication mode options:  
Ad hoc: On an ad hoc network, the printer is set to ad hoc communication mode and  
communicates directly with other wireless devices without the use of a WAP.  
All devices on the ad hoc network must:  
Be 802.11 compatible  
Have ad hoc as the communication mode  
Have the same network name (SSID)  
Be on the same subnet and same channel  
Have the same 802.11 security settings  
Infrastructure (recommended): On an infrastructure network, the printer is set to infrastructure  
communication mode and communicates with other devices on the network, whether the devices  
are wired or wireless, through a WAP. WAPs commonly act as routers or gateways on small  
networks.  
Security settings  
Network authentication: The printer's factory default setting is 'Open,' which does not require  
security for authorization or encryption. The other possible values are 'OpenThenShared,'  
'Shared,' and 'WPA-PSK' (Wi-Fi® Protected Access Pre-Shared Key).  
WPA increases the level of over-the-air data protection and access control on existing and future  
Wi-Fi networks. It addresses all known weaknesses of WEP, the original native security  
mechanism in the 802.11 standard.  
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security; it provides enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi  
users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless  
networks.  
Data encryption:  
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves  
from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-enabled network  
use WEP keys to encode data. If your network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s)  
it uses.  
NOTE: Shared WEP key encryption is not supported.  
WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for encryption and employs 802.1X  
authentication with one of the standard Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types  
available today.  
WPA2 provides a new encryption scheme, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES  
is defined in counter cipher-block chaining mode (CCM) and supports the Independent  
Basic Service Set (IBSS) to enable security between client workstations operating in ad hoc  
mode.  
Test the wireless connection  
Print the wireless test page for information about the printer's wireless connection. The wireless test  
page provides information about the printer's status, MAC address, and IP address. If the printer is  
connected to a network, the test page displays details about the network settings.  
Printer control panel: Touch right arrow , select Network, select Wireless, and then select  
Wireless Network Test.  
Change the connection method  
To change the connection method (Windows)  
NOTE: If you are changing to a wireless connection, make sure that an Ethernet cable has not  
been connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns off the printer's wireless  
capabilities.

Guidelines for ensuring wireless network security  
This section contains the following topics:  
To add hardware addresses to a WAP  
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a WAP is configured with a list of MAC addresses (also  
called "hardware addresses") of devices that are allowed to gain access to the network through the  
WAP.  
If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device attempting to access the network, the  
WAP denies the device access to the network.  
If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the printer's MAC address must be added to the WAP's list  
of accepted MAC addresses.  
1. Print the network configuration page. For information on the network configuration page, see  
2. Open the WAP's configuration utility, and add the printer's hardware address to the list of  
accepted MAC addresses.  
Other guidelines  
To keep the wireless network secure, follow these guidelines:  
Use a password with at least 20 random characters. You can use up to 64 characters in a WPA  
password.  
Avoid any common words or phrases, easy sequences of characters (such as all 1s), and  
personally-identifiable information for passwords. Always use random strings composed of  
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and if allowed, special characters such as  
punctuation.  
Change the password periodically.  
Change the default password provided by the manufacturer for administrator access to the  
access point or wireless router. Some routers let you change the administrator name as well.  
Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do this, you need to connect to  
the router with a wired Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes.  
Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router, if possible. You can use  
Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router  
and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.  
To avoid accidentally connecting to another party's wireless network, turn off the setting to  
automatically connect to non-preferred networks. This is disabled by default in Windows XP.  
228  
Network setup  
       
Guidelines for reducing interference on a wireless network  
The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:  
Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other  
electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can  
disrupt radio signals.  
Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures as  
these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.  
For an infrastructure network, position the WAP in a central location in line of sight with the  
wireless devices on the network.  
Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.

Previously used ink cartridge installed  
The ink cartridge identified in the message was previously used in a different printer.  
You can use ink cartridges in different printers, but if the cartridge was left outside of a printer for an  
extended period of time, the print quality of your documents might be affected. Also, if you use ink  
cartridges that have been used in a different printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or  
unavailable.  
If the print quality is unsatisfactory, try cleaning the printheads. For more information, see Clean the  
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways,  
including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and  
in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition,  
some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/  
For more information about storing ink cartridges, see Store printing supplies.
