Introduction
This introduction presents an overview of each of the components that make up the HP
OfficeJet LX. Afterwards, this chapter will show you how to install the hardware and
the software.
Features Overview
The HP OfficeJet LX is not just a facsimile machine. With it, you can:
x
x
x
Print, fax, copy, and scan.
Send faxes on paper or directly from the PC (without printing).
Receive faxes either to paper or to the PC, where they can be viewed, filed, or printed.
Software Programs
The HP OfficeJet LX includes two Windows software programs.
x
x
Eclipse FAX SE from Phoenix lets you send high-quality faxes directly from your PC,
receive faxes to your PC, and scan images into PC-based files. Using Eclipse FAX SE
will reduce the amount of paper you have to handle and file.
The HP OfficeJet LX Manager lets you set up your HP OfficeJet from your PC, using
Windows-based menus, rather than from the device's front panel. You will find the PC
method much faster and easier than setting up using the device's front panel menus. The
manager also tells you whether or not your HP OfficeJet is properly connected and
ready to use, and displays error and informational messages.
x
The HP OfficeJet LX also includes a Windows printer driver, printer fonts, and a
scanner driver. A separate disk is included with DOS printer drivers.

2`5
Monitoring the Status of Your HP OfficeJet LX
When the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window is
open, it monitors the status of your device. The
messages displayed in the status area (the upper left
corner) are the same as the messages displayed on
the device's front panel. This allows you to know
when errors occur without waiting for a job to fail
or checking the front panel.
To test this, with your HP OfficeJet LX Manager
window open, lift up the front cover of the device.
You will see the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window
change, as shown in this illustration. Note that the
message in the status area ("Close cover") matches
the message on the front panel.
When the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is minimized, the bottom line of the icon displays the
device status, as shown here. In some cases, these status messages will be briefer than the
front-panel display.
Using the Alert Options
You can also choose to have the HP OfficeJet LX Manager
window pop to the foreground whenever an error and/or
warning occurs. The window will appear regardless of
whether the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is open or minimized.
You can change this setting at any time.
From the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar, choose
File/Alert Options. The Alert Options dialog box appears.
You can choose to have the window appear when Errors
Occur, when Warnings and Errors Occur, or Never. The
factory setting is Errors Occur.
Chapter 7 of this manual includes a listing of all the HP OfficeJet LX error messages that require response
from the user, together with recovery information. The same material is provided in the online help, which
also includes the messages that don't require response from the user.

2`9
Selecting Tone or Pulse Dialing Mode
In the Dialing Mode box:
:
:
Choose Tone if your telephone has touch-tone capability (factory setting).
Choose Pulse if it does not.
Switching from Pulse to Tone Dialing
There may be times when you want to switch your Dialing Mode from Pulse to Tone while dialing a fax
number`for example, if you want to enter a credit card number after dialing the fax number. You can do this
by entering an asterisk (*) in the fax number. For example, if you wanted to send a fax to the number (111)
222-3333, and then switch to Tone dialing to enter a credit card number, you would enter the fax number as
"111 222 3333 *."
You can use the "*" switch in Speed Dial entries and numbers you dial from the front panel (for paper faxes),
and in Eclipse FAX SE phonebook entries and fax numbers you type in the Send Fax dialog box (for PC
faxes).
This feature works only if your Dialing Mode has been set to Pulse (see "Selecting Tone or Pulse Dialing
Mode," above). You cannot switch the other way around, from Tone to Pulse dialing.
Setting Automatic Redial
The Automatic Redial setting controls whether or not your fax numbers are automatically redialed in the event
of a busy signal. The factory setting is that your fax numbers are redialed automatically (Automatic
Redial=On), up to a maximum number of times that varies by country (for the U.S., five times). The first
redial occurs after a 1-minute wait; the next four redials occur after 5-minute waits. The Automatic Redial
setting is also applied to faxes sent from your PC with Eclipse FAX SE.
Note: During the wait periods, the redial timer is shown on the front-panel display as a countdown. To
make the next redial take place immediately, press the Redial/Pause button on the front panel while
the automatic redial timer is displayed. (This applies only to paper faxes, not to PC faxes.)
2`10
Using Speed Dial Setup (for Paper Faxes Only)
Note: You cannot use Speed Dial entries with PC faxes, only with paper faxes. To create entries for PC
faxing with Eclipse FAX SE, see "Using Phonebooks" in chapter 4.
When you choose OfficeJet Setup/Speed
Dial Setup, the Speed Dial Setup dialog box
appears. Use this dialog box to store
frequently-used fax numbers as one- or
two-digit codes (numbers from 1 through
60). After you have stored a number in this
way, you can send a fax to that number
simply by pressing the Speed Dial button on
the HP OfficeJet LX front panel, then
entering the code.
You can also define as many as five groups
of related fax numbers and identify each
group with a two-digit code and group
name. When you press the Speed Dial
button on the HP OfficeJet LX front panel
and enter a group code (any number from
61 through 65), your fax is sent to every
person in the group.
Click the OK button to save your settings and close the dialog box. Click the Cancel button to close the
dialog box without saving your settings, and the Help button to get help for this topic.
:
In the Name and Fax Number boxes across from each code, type the recipient's name (which can be a
person or a company) and fax number. (Be sure to include any necessary prefixes; for example, 1 for
long-distance numbers. See the table below.) Use the Tab key to move from code to code.
:
:
To delete an entry, click the speed dial number to the left of the entry (this highlights the entry). Then
press the Delete key.
To print a report showing all the information you have stored in speed dial codes, click the Print Speed
Dial Report button.

asterisk (*)
If the Dialing Mode is set to pulse, the first asterisk in the dial string will switch from
pulse to tone dialing. If the Dialing Mode is set to tone, the asterisk will cause a "*"
tone to be emitted. (In Eclipse FAX SE only, a capital T can be used instead of an
asterisk.)
pound or number sign (#)
If the Dialing Mode is set to tone, a pound or number sign in the dial string causes a
"#" tone to be emitted. If the Dialing Mode is set to pulse, the pound or number sign is
ignored.
hyphen (-)
Inserts a 2-second pause in the fax number. (In Eclipse FAX SE only, a comma (,) can
be used instead of a hyphen.
space or blank
Spaces and blanks are ignored.
Inserting a Pause in a Speed Dial Number
You may sometimes want your HP OfficeJet LX to pause while dialing a number; for example, if you need to
wait for an access tone, or when you're using a credit card. The way that pauses work varies from country to
country, but in general, you can enter pauses in a fax number by inserting a hyphen (-) for each pause. For
example, the entry "111- - - -2222" would cause the HP OfficeJet LX to dial "111," wait for four pauses, and
then dial "2222."
You can insert pauses in Speed Dial entries and numbers you dial from the front panel (for paper faxes), and
in Eclipse FAX SE phonebook entries and numbers you type in the Send Fax dialog box (for PC faxes). (If
you're dialing the number from the front panel, press the Redial/Pause key for each desired pause.)
2`12
Setting Up a Speed Dial Group
To define one or more groups of related fax numbers, click the Group Dial Setup button. The Group Dial
Setup dialog box appears.

:
:
Use Fine when you want the words and line drawings in your fax to be as sharp as possible.
Use Photo when you want images that contain different shades of gray (such as photographs) to be as
sharp as possible. Documents will be scanned as halftone images.
Using Receive Fax Setup
When you choose OfficeJet Setup/
Receive Fax Setup, the Receive Fax Setup
dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to
change the receive mode, rings to answer,
automatic reduction, backup reception,
distinctive ring, silent detect, and remote
service settings. When you have finished,
click the OK button to save your settings
and close the dialog box. Click the Cancel
button to close the dialog box without

the Settings box.
2`15
Changing the Number of Rings to Answer
The Rings to Answer setting determines the number of rings before the HP OfficeJet LX answers a call when
the receive mode is set to Auto (see "Changing the Receive Mode," above). The range you can choose from
varies by country (for example, 2-5 rings for the U.S. and Germany, 2-7 rings for the Netherlands), but the
factory setting is 2 rings. To change the setting, click on the arrow to the right of the Rings to Answer box,
then click on the desired number.
Answering machines also have a rings-to-answer feature. If you have an answering machine connected
(according to scenario 3 in chapter 1), be sure the number of Rings to Answer in this dialog box is set to a
lower number than your answering machine's setting. Otherwise, the answering machine may pick up all fax
calls.
Setting Automatic Reduction
The Automatic Reduction setting controls whether or not each page of your incoming faxes will be reduced to
fit on one page of the paper size you have loaded in the HP OfficeJet LX. The factory setting (Automatic
Reduction=On) specifies that your incoming faxes will be automatically reduced to fit on the loaded paper;
this setting is designed to save paper. When you don't want this reduction to take place, remove the check
from the checkbox.
Example 1: Someone sends you a fax on legal-size paper, and you have letter-size paper loaded in the HP
OfficeJet LX. With Auto Reduction=On, each page you receive is a 75% reduction of the legal-size original.
With Auto Reduction=Off, the contents of each page are the same as (or very close to) the original size, but
are split into two pages.
Example 2: Someone sends you a fax on letter-size paper, and you have letter-sized paper loaded in the HP
OfficeJet LX. With Auto Reduction=On, each page you receive may be reduced slightly. With Auto
Reduction=Off, the contents of each page are the same as (or close to) the original size, but may be split into
two pages.
Note: The HP OfficeJet LX cannot print on the bottom 1/2 inch of the page, so a fax that fills a letter-size
page may print on two pages if Automatic Reduction is turned off. We recommend that Automatic
Reduction be left on unless maintaining the size of the original is important.
2`16
Setting Backup Reception
If Backup Reception=On (the factory setting), incoming paper faxes will be received to memory in the
following circumstances:
:
:
:
:
:
The paper tray is empty.
The wrong paper size is loaded for fax reception (only Letter, Legal, and A4 paper are valid for faxes).
The print cartridge is out of ink.
The print cartridge is not installed.
There's a paper jam.
Once the error has been corrected (for example, correct paper is loaded), the faxes stored in memory will
print immediately.
If Backup Reception=Off, the HP OfficeJet LX will not answer incoming calls in any of the circumstances
listed above, and you will not receive any incoming faxes until the error is corrected.
Note: If you are printing a file from your PC or copying when a fax is received, the fax is always saved to
memory, regardless of the Backup Reception setting. When printing or copying is complete, faxes
stored in memory will print immediately.
Enabling Distinctive Ring
The Distinctive Ring setting, used in conjunction with your telephone company's distinctive ringing service,
allows the HP OfficeJet LX to distinguish between voice calls and fax calls when you receive both on the
same phone line.
What is a Distinctive Ringing Service?
A distinctive ringing service allows you to have two or three phone numbers on the same phone line, which
saves you the cost of paying for separate lines. You and the HP OfficeJet LX can tell which phone number
has been dialed because each number has a distinctive ring: the first phone number has a single ring, the
second has a double ring, and the third has a triple ring.
The factory setting is Distinctive Ring=Off. Before changing this setting, if you do not already have a
distinctive ringing service, ask your telephone company if such a service is available in your area. (At the
time of publication, distinctive ringing services, which are called by various names in different areas, are
available only in certain parts of the U.S. and in some Asian countries.)
If a distinctive ringing service is available and you want to use this feature, ask your telephone company to
assign the single ring to the phone number on which you want to receive voice calls, and the multiple rings to
the phone number(s) on which you want to receive fax calls. Then check the Distinctive Ring checkbox, so
that the HP OfficeJet LX will answer the phone and receive faxes only when it detects a multiple ring.
2`17
Enabling Silent Detect
The Silent Detect setting controls whether or not you can receive faxes from older-model fax machines that
don't emit a fax signal during fax transmissions. At the time of publication, these silent models represent
about 5% of the fax machines in use.
The factory setting is Silent Detect=Off. It should be changed only when all these conditions are true:
:
:
:
You have a telephone answering machine connected directly to the HP OfficeJet LX.
The Receive Mode is set to Fax/TAM.
You expect to receive a fax from an older-model fax machine.
Enabling Remote Service
The factory setting is Remote Service=Off. If you've contacted Hewlett-Packard for service, you may be asked
to change this setting so that a service representative can diagnose your problem from a remote location.
After the problem has been diagnosed, you can change the setting back to Remote Service=Off so your HP
OfficeJet LX cannot be remotely accessed.
2`18
Routing Received Faxes
When you choose OfficeJet Setup/Route Received Faxes, a box appears that lets you specify whether incoming
faxes should be sent to the HP OfficeJet LX printer or to your PC. You can change this setting at any time.
:
:
To Printer When this option is selected, incoming faxes are printed on the HP OfficeJet LX and
immediately removed from the device's memory.
To PC When this option is selected, incoming faxes are saved as files on your PC, where you can view,
print, or delete them, save them to other files, and send them as faxes.
For more information about how the HP OfficeJet LX routes faxes, see "If You Don't Read Anything Else" in
the Forward section of this User's Guide.
Changing the Loaded Paper Size
Use OfficeJet Setup/Loaded Paper Size whenever you change the size of the paper in the
paper tray.
Letter: 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm)
Legal: 8.5 x 14 inches (216 x 356 mm)
A4: 8.27 x 11.7 inches (210 x 297 mm)
Exec: 7.25 x 10.5 inches (184 x 267 mm)
Envelope: Either (1) U.S. No. 10 envelopes, 4.12 x 9.5 inches (105 x 241 mm), or (2) European DL
envelopes, 8.66 x 4.33 inches (220 x 110 mm)
The table below shows the paper sizes that you can use for each HP OfficeJet LX function.

Changing Copy Reduction
Use OfficeJet Setup/Copy Reduction when you want to make a reduced copy of an original
document. You can make copies at any of the percentages shown in the drop-down menu.
Note: When the resolution is set to Photo (see "Adjusting the Resolution"), and the copy
reduction is set to 100%, your copies are printed at 98% of the original size, which
provides the highest possible print quality.
Controlling Sound Settings
The HP OfficeJet LX makes several different sounds to tell you what type of operation is being carried out.
With one exception, these sounds can be controlled with the Sounds dialog box in HP OfficeJet LX Manager,
as shown in the table below.

options in this dialog box to turn the Ringer or Beeps off, or to
change the Ring and Beep Volume from soft to loud.
When you have finished, click the OK button to save your
settings and close the dialog box. Click the Cancel button to
close the dialog box without saving your settings; the Default
button to return to factory settings; and the Help button to get
help for this topic.
Controlling Outgoing Fax Tones
To adjust the volume of the fax tones that you hear when you send faxes, slide the volume control knob on
the right side of the HP OfficeJet LX. Sliding the knob toward the minus sign (-) decreases the volume;
sliding the knob toward the plus sign (+) increases the volume.
2`21
Printing Logs and Reports
The Reports menu has three choices: Automatic Log, Print Fax Log, and Print Reports.
Controlling the Printing of Fax Logs
To control the automatic printing of fax logs, choose
Reports/Automatic Log. The Automatic Fax Log dialog
box appears. You can choose to have the fax log printed
whenever errors occur, whenever you send a fax, in
either of those circumstances, or never. The factory
setting is Error Only.
Printing Fax Logs
Choose Reports/Print Fax Log when you want to print (1) a log of the last fax sent or received, or (2) a log of
the last 30 faxes sent and received.
A sample of the Last 30 Faxes report is shown below. The contents are described in the table following the

This heading:
Describes this information:
Identification
The fax number of the remote fax machine that you either sent to or received from. Only the first 20
digits are shown.
Note: If you set up a speed dial name for this fax location, the name will be displayed instead of the
fax number when you send a fax. For example, in the sample report above, "Public Images Inc." is
displayed when you send a fax, not "999 555 4783."
Result
"OK" means that the transmission was successful.
"STOP" means you pressed the STOP button and canceled the transmission (send or receive)
before it was complete.
"No answer" means that the fax machine you dialed did not answer. Contact the other party to
make sure their fax machine is ready to receive faxes.
"Busy" means that the fax machine you dialed was busy; try again later. If you have Auto Redial
set to On, the number will be redialed up to five times.
"Error" means that the transmission was incomplete due to a communication error during
transmission. If you're sending a fax, try again and/or contact the other party to make sure their fax
machine is ready to receive faxes. If you're receiving a fax, contact the other party and ask them to
send the document again.
"Jammed" means that the document you loaded for faxing jammed while being scanned. Open the
top of the front panel (pull the top ledge of the front panel toward you) and remove the jammed
document, then close the front panel and resume faxing.
"No document" means that a document you scheduled for faxing at a later time (with the Send Fax
Later feature) was not in the fax tray at the start time you scheduled.
"Power fail" means that there was a power failure during this fax transmission (send or receive).
The automatic Power Fail report tells you more information about what happened at the time the
power failed (see "Power Fail Report" later in this chapter for more information).
"Cover open" means that you opened the front panel while sending a fax. At that point your fax
transmission was canceled, so you may need to resend part or all of your document.
"No dial tone" means that the HP OfficeJet LX could not detect a dial tone on the connected
telephone line. Check your connections and try again.
Pages
Type
The number of pages successfully sent or received.
Note: If a fax was sent from memory (as with faxes scheduled for a future time and sending to
groups of fax numbers), this column will tell you how many pages out of the total were sent. For
example, "02/02" means that two out of two pages were sent.
"Sent" means that you sent this fax. "Received" means that you received this fax. "Poll-in" means
that you received this fax after polling another fax machine. "Poll-out" means that you sent this fax
to another fax machine that polled yours.
Date
The date of this transmission.
Time
The time at which this transmission began.
Duration
Diagnostic
The transmission time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
A 12- or 15-digit code that can be used by a customer service representative to diagnose fax
transmission (send and receive) problems.

If the diagonal line is not continuous (if white gaps break the line), or if the area fill is

Controlling How Your Documents Will
Look When They're Received By Another
Fax Machine
The following sections describe how to assess the quality of your original document and
how to make adjustments that will improve the appearance of your outgoing faxes when
they are received.
Use the following table to decide if you need to modify your fax document or the fax
settings before faxing.
Goal:
Do this:
Text as sharp as possible
Adjust the Resolution setting to Fine (see the
following instructions).
Graphic illustrations and
photographs as sharp as
possible
Adjust the Resolution setting to Photo (see the
following instructions).
Lighten or darken the
document while scanning
Adjust the Fax/Copy Contrast setting (see
following instructions).
Fax a document that's smaller Insert the original document into a protective
than standard sizes or a
document that's torn
document carrier before faxing. (A document
carrier is a clear plastic holder that looks
something like a page protector. It's available at
most office supply stores.)
Fax a document that's stapled
or paper-clipped
Remove staples and paper clips from the
document before faxing.
CAUTION: Failure to remove staples and paper
clips before faxing can cause permanent damage
to the scanner inside the HP OfficeJet LX.
3`2
Resolution
Adjusting the Resolution
The Resolution setting affects the quality at which your outgoing faxes are scanned.
Use this setting:
For this goal:
Standard
Words only (no photographs or graphic illustrations) and
faster transmission speed is more important than quality.
The cost of your fax call will be lowest with this setting.
Fine
Words as sharp as possible.
Photo
Art (photographs and/or graphic illustrations) as sharp as

Helpful Hints:
Note: If you dialed from a telephone connected
directly to your HP OfficeJet LX and a person
picks up the phone on the receiving end, ask them
to press the Start button on their machine to start
receiving the fax. You can replace the handset at
anytime.
If the line is busy, the fax number may be
automatically redialed several times; refer to
"Automatic Redial" later in this chapter. Or you
may choose to manually redial with the Redial
button instead; see "Redialing with the
Redial/Pause Button" later in this chapter.
If you want to send a fax to someone you're
already talking to on a telephone connected
directly to your HP OfficeJet LX, just load the
document and press Start/Copy; you don't need
to dial. Ask the person on the other end to
press the Start button on their fax machine
after hearing the fax tone.
To verify that the fax was successfully
transmitted, print the Fax Log report using the

and the two-digit speed dial code (01 through 65).
You can speed dial to single locations (codes 01 through 60) or to groups of fax
numbers (codes 61 through 65). Sending one document to a group of fax numbers is
sometimes called broadcasting.
Check your Speed Dial report before dialing for easy reference. You can print the report

Introducing Eclipse FAX SE
Your HP OfficeJet LX includes a software application, Eclipse FAX SE, that allows you to send and receive
faxes directly to your PC, rather than to the device itself, and to do PC scanning.
Note: Eclipse FAX SE is a separate application from the HP OfficeJet LX Manager. Some of the settings
that you can make with the HP OfficeJet LX Manager affect PC faxing (see "Reviewing the Device
Settings" in chapter 2 for more information). In addition, the HP OfficeJet LX Manager must be
running in order for you to use Eclipse FAX SE. It can be either open as a window or minimized.
Eclipse FAX SE makes it possible for you to perform the following tasks:
:
Set up as many as six phonebooks (lists of names and fax numbers) for use with PC faxes. (Phonebooks
are similar to the Speed Dial entries that you use for paper faxing.)
:
:
Create a document in any Windows application and then fax it directly from your PC.
Receive faxes directly to your PC. Once an incoming fax has been received, you can use Eclipse FAX
SE to view, print, and delete it.
:
:
:
Forward a fax you've received to another recipient.
Fax a document to a file in order to use it later as a fax document.
Scan a document into your PC to be sent as a fax, saved as a file, or printed.
In addition, Eclipse FAX SE's advanced features make it possible for you to modify faxes by adding text and
images, use your letterhead and second sheets with faxes, modify cover pages, and collect two or more
documents to send as a fax.
4`3
Running Eclipse FAX SE
There are two ways to run Eclipse FAX SE.
:
:
In the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar,
choose File/Run Eclipse FAX SE.
Or, double-click the Eclipse FAX SE icon in
the HP OfficeJet LX program group, which is
created during installation.
The Eclipse FAX SE window appears (see the
illustration under "Using the Eclipse FAX SE Help
System," below). Note the menu bar across the top
of the window. The menu options are explained
throughout this chapter and in a section at the end
of this chapter, "The Eclipse FAX SE Menu Bars."
The Eclipse FAX SE icon
Using the Eclipse FAX SE Help System
Eclipse FAX SE has an online help system. When
you choose Help from the Eclipse FAX SE menu
bar, a drop-down menu appears.
:
:
Choose Help/Contents to display the contents of
the online help system.
Choose Help/Search to access the Search dialog
box so that you can look for help on a specific
topic.
:
:
Choose Help/Technical Support to learn how to solve a problem and, if necessary, get customer support.
Choose Help/About to see information about your version of Eclipse FAX SE.
Help on specific topics is also available from the following Eclipse FAX SE dialog boxes: Send Setup, Send
Fax, Phonebook, Receive Setup, and HP OfficeJet LX Scanner Options. Clicking the Help button in one of
these dialog boxes will take you to the relevant Help topic.
If you haven't had much experience with Windows-based help systems, you may want to read the
documentation on the Windows Help system in your Windows User's Guide.
4`4
Sending Faxes from Your PC
With Eclipse FAX SE, you can create a document in any Windows application and then fax it from your PC.
You can also fax a document to a file in order to use it later as a fax document (see "Faxing a Document to a
File") and forward faxes you've received to other recipients (see "Forwarding a Fax").
Before sending a PC fax, you may want to create one or more Eclipse FAX SE phonebooks. You can create
as many as six phonebooks (lists of related names and fax numbers) to simplify the process of sending faxes.
Although you can create phonebooks from the Send Fax dialog box, it's easier to add phonebooks first, using
the instructions under "Using Phonebooks."
You may also want to change the fax header, which is printed on top of every page of your outgoing faxes.
The header is set up during installation, but you can change it any time by choosing OfficeJet Setup/Send Fax
Setup from the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar. For more information, see "Changing the Header for
Your Outgoing Faxes" in chapter 2.
Note: Every time you send a fax with Eclipse FAX SE, a data file of the fax contents is added to your
disk. These files can take up a considerable amount of disk space. For this reason, we recommend
that you use the Send Log frequently to delete unneeded files.
Switching from Pulse to Tone Dialing
There may be times when you want to switch your Dialing Mode from Pulse to Tone while dialing a fax number
in Eclipse FAX SE -- for example, if you want to enter a credit card number after dialing the fax number. For
instructions, see "Switching from Pulse to Tone Dialing" in chapter 2.
Inserting a Pause in a Fax Number
You may sometimes want your HP OfficeJet LX to pause while dialing a number from Eclipse FAX SE; for
example, if you need to wait for an access tone, or when you're using a credit card. For information, see "Inserting
a Pause in a Fax Number" in chapter 2.
4`5
Preparing to Send a Fax (Send Setup)
Before sending faxes from your PC, either from Windows or directly from Eclipse FAX SE, you may want to
use Send Setup to change the Resolution or to modify the Cover Page Information that was entered during
installation. Send Setup has one other setting, New Page Paper Size. For information about this setting, see
"Setting the New Page Paper Size." You don't need to use Send Setup unless you want to change one or more
of these settings.
To use Send Setup, follow these steps.
1. Open Eclipse FAX SE. (Remember that the HP OfficeJet LX Manager must be running.)
2. Choose Send/Setup from
the menu bar. The Send
Fax Setup dialog box
appears.
3. Optionally, change the
Resolution.
:
Standard resolution
(the default) is 204 x
98 dpi.
:
Best Available
resolution is 204 x 196
dpi.
Note: For faxes sent from your PC only, the resolution that you choose here will override the setting
made with the HP OfficeJet LX Manager or the control panel. It will not affect the resolution of
paper faxes.
4. Optionally, in the Cover Page Information box, change any of the entries that were made during
installation.
5. When you have completed this dialog box, click the OK button. Click the Cancel button at any time to
close the dialog box without saving your changes; click the Help button to access the online help.

The Eclipse FAX SE cover pages vary according to country. You can't view the cover pages available to you while
you're sending a fax, so you may want to do this before using the procedures in this section. From the Eclipse FAX
SE menu bar, choose File/Open File. In the List Files of Type box, choose Cover Page (.CVR). In the Directories
box, choose HPOJET\EFAX\IMAGES. Your cover pages are listed in the File Name box. You can view each one
in turn by opening and closing it. You may also want to print each cover page, write the filenames on them, and
keep them for reference.

Sending a Fax from a Windows Application
Follow these steps to fax a document from any Windows application except Eclipse FAX SE.
Note: This procedure has many options. Not all the steps are required, and the Send Fax dialog box can be
completed in different ways. You may want to read through the procedure before using it for the
first time.
1. Starting from any Windows application (Word for Windows, Lotus 1-2-3, Excel, and so on), create the
document that you want to fax. (Saving the document is optional.)
2. Make sure that the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is running.
3. If you know that E-FAX on OfficeJet LX is selected as your printer, go on to step 4.

"Adding, Changing, or Deleting a Phonebook from the Send Fax Dialog Box."
:
:
Optionally, in the Company box, type or select the recipient's company. This information isn't
required, but will be included in the cover page, if you use one.

4`9
Using the Clear Button
You can use the Clear button at any time to remove every entry you have made in the Name, Company,
Fax, Voice, and Phonebook Note boxes. The Clear button does not delete information from the selected
phonebook, only from the Send Fax dialog box.
When you have finished, go on to step 9.
8. There are several ways of searching for and selecting a name from a phonebook. Begin by selecting the
phonebook you want to use in the Phonebook box. Then do one of the following:
:
:
Click the arrow to the right of the Name box and click the recipient's name.
Or, type the first few letters of the recipient's last name and press the Tab key. Eclipse FAX SE
displays the first name in the phonebook that begins with the letters you typed.
Note: This feature is case-sensitive and finds only entries with matching case (all uppercase, all
lowercase, or initial caps). If a matching entry is not found, Eclipse FAX SE assumes that
your entry represents a new name.
Changing the Selected Phonebook
You can make changes to the selected phonebook by using the Add, Update, and Delete buttons
together with the Name, Company, Fax, Voice, and Phonebook Note boxes. Here are some examples:
To send a fax and add the recipient to the phonebook, type the person's name and other information, then
click the Add button.
To add a Company, Voice number, and/or Phonebook Note for a name that is already in the
phonebook, type the information, then click the Update button.
To delete an entry from the phonebook, select the entry and click the Delete button.
:
Or, to view the names of people associated with a company, click the arrow to the right of the
Company box and select the company. Then click the arrow to the right of the Name box. The names
that appear are the ones associated with the company.
Note: You must select the name of the company in order to use this feature; if you type the name
of the company, then click the Name box arrow, all the names in the phonebook are
displayed.
When you select a name from a phonebook, Eclipse FAX SE fills in the Fax box. It also fills in the
Company, Voice, and Phonebook Note boxes, if this informa'tion has been added to the phonebook.
If necessary, add any area code or prefix that must be included for this call.
Optionally, use the Phonebook button if you want to add, delete, or rename a phonebook.
For information about the Fax to Phonebook and Group buttons, see `Sending a Fax to More Than One
Recipient."

the box and double-click the name of the second sheet that you want to choose.
12. Under Schedule, do one of the following:
:
:
:
Skip this box if you want your fax sent at the current date and time, but after any pending faxes that
are scheduled for the same date and time. (This is the default.)
Click the Immediately checkbox if you want to send this fax before any pending faxes. The fax will
be sent when you click the Send Fax button (or, if the HP OfficeJet LX is busy, as soon as it is free).
Or, to schedule the fax, double-click the element that you want to change (hour, minute, month, day,
or year). Then either type a new time or use the arrows to set the time you want. (Eclipse FAX SE
uses a 24-hour clock`midnight is 00:00, noon is 12:00, 1:00 p.m. is 13:00, and so on.) The fax will
be sent at the scheduled time. (The Send Log will show the exact date and time sent.) If you use this
option, remember that the HP OfficeJet LX Manager must be running at the scheduled time
in order for your fax to be sent.
4`11
Using the Special Options
You may want to use one of the Special options before sending your fax. You can choose only one
option from the Send Fax dialog box, but you will have access to the others later in the process.
Fax Preview: Click this button if you want to view your fax before sending it. When you click the Send
Fax button, the fax is displayed with the Thumbnail toolbar. See "Using Menus and Toolbars to View
Faxes."
Mark Up: Click this button if you want to add text to your fax before sending it. When you click the
Send Fax button, the fax is displayed with the Edit toolbar. See "Adding Text to a Fax."
Place Image: Click this button if you want to add an image to your fax before sending it. When you
click the Send Fax button, the fax is displayed with the Place Image window open. See "Adding an
Image to a Fax."
Append Pages: Click this button if you want to add documents to your fax before sending it. When you
click the Send Fax button, the fax is displayed with the Collect Pages dialog box open. See "Collecting
Two or More Documents to Send as a Fax."'
13. When you have completed your entries in this dialog box, click the Send Fax button.
Eclipse FAX SE displays the message "Merging Image with Page" to let you know that the fax is being
processed. (If the fax includes a cover page, you'll also see the message, "Compressing Cover Sheet.")
The fax is then placed in a queue and, at the time you scheduled, is downloaded to the device for
transmission.
When transmission occurs, Eclipse FAX SE displays a message like this one. To cancel the fax, either
click the Cancel button in this message box, or press the Stop button on the front panel of the HP
OfficeJet LX.
When you finish this procedure, you return to the application you started from, with the document that
you faxed on the screen. For information about viewing, printing, deleting, or rescheduling your fax, see
"Using the Send Log to View, Print, Delete, or Reschedule Faxes."
Note: When you send a PC fax, the HP OfficeJet LX waits until 1-2 pages have been downloaded
before it tries to connect with the receiving fax machine (this minimizes fax connect time).
When transmission begins, the PC must download the rest of the fax. If the HP OfficeJet LX
finds that another PC application is interfering, it may temporarily block (or slow down) the
application in order to allow the fax to continue. (This also applies to mouse movement.)
4`12
If You Get a Busy Signal
The Automatic Redial setting in the HP OfficeJet LX Manager controls whether or not fax numbers are
redialed in the event of a busy signal, for both paper and PC faxes. The maximum number of automatic
redials, and the intervals between them, vary from country to country. The rules below apply both to PC
faxes that you send from other Windows applications, and to faxes sent directly from Eclipse FAX SE
(see "Sending a Quick Note from Eclipse FAX SE," next).
:
If a PC fax fails because of a busy signal, and Automatic Redial=Off, the fax number is not
redialed.
:
:
If a PC fax fails because of a busy signal, and Automatic Redial=On, the fax remains in the Send
Log with a status of Pending, and is redialed according to your country's regulations. If you cancel
the fax before all the redials take place, either by clicking the Cancel button in the Eclipse FAX SE
"Sending" message box, or by pressing the Stop button on the front panel, the automatic redials stop,
and the fax is placed in the Send Log with a status of Terminated.
If a PC fax fails for some reason other than a busy signal (no answer, dial tone, etc.), the fax is not
retried, and is listed in the Send Log with a status of Terminated.
If a PC fax transmission reaches a busy signal and you want to prevent redials, highlight the fax in the
Send Log (status = Pending) and click the Delete button.
4`13
Sending a Quick Note from Eclipse FAX SE
The Quick Note feature lets you add a note to a cover page. This is the easiest way to fax a short message.

Importing Names and Fax Numbers into Eclipse FAX SE
If you already have a Winfax or CAS phonebook, you can import it directly into Eclipse FAX SE. You may
also be able to import entries from an existing file that contains names, phone numbers, and fax numbers. Or,
instead of making phonebook entries in Eclipse FAX SE, you can use another application to create your
entries, and then import them into Eclipse FAX SE.
File Formats for Imported Phonebooks
Files in these formats can be imported into Eclipse FAX SE phonebooks. The filename must include the
designated extension (.DBF, .TXT, and so on).
:
:
:
:
:
Dbase format (*.DBF)
Comma-delimited text (*.TXT)
CR-delimited text (*.TXT)
Winfax Phonebook (*.PB*)
BTrieve format (*.DAT)
Importing a File of Existing Entries
1. Open the file in an application where it can be edited.
2. If necessary, edit the entries so that they have the following format:
(line 1)
(line 2)
(line 3)
(line 4)
(line 5)
Name (first, middle, last)
Company name
Fax number
Voice number
Notes (optional)
Here are two sample entries, one with a note:
Jane Bennet
Longbourn & Co.
111-2222
777-8888
Charles Bingley
Netherfield Park

Receiving Faxes on Your PC
Before you begin receiving PC faxes, you may want to change the Receive Setup options, as described
below. Once a PC fax has been received, you can use the Receive Log to view, print, and delete it. You can
also forward a fax you've received from the Receive Log.
Note: Each time you receive a fax with Eclipse FAX SE, a data file that contains the contents is added to
your disk. These files can take up a considerable amount of disk space. For this reason, we
recommend that you delete unneeded files frequently with the Receive Log.
Preparing to Receive a Fax (Receive Setup)
To access the setup options for receiving faxes, choose Receive/Setup
from the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar. The Receive Setup dialog box
appears.
:
Click the Notify on Receipt button if you want Eclipse FAX SE
to display a message whenever you receive a PC fax. (The HP
OfficeJet LX Manager and the control panel will always
display "fax received" messages.)
:
Click the Print on Receipt button if you want to receive faxes both to your PC and to the printer.
Remember that To PC must also be selected in the HP OfficeJet LX Manager.
Routing Incoming Faxes to the PC
If you need to change or check the Route Received Faxes option, follow these steps. Remember that you can
change this setting at any time.
1. Open the HP OfficeJet LX Manager by double-clicking on the HP OfficeJet LX Manager icon. The HP
OfficeJet LX Manager window appears.
2. From the menu, choose OfficeJet Setup/Route Received Faxes, then choose To PC.
4`28
Receiving a Fax to Your PC
Faxes will be received to your PC when all these conditions are true:
:
:
The HP OfficeJet LX Manager is running (as a window or minimized).
To PC is selected in the HP OfficeJet LX Manager (OfficeJet Setup/Route Received Faxes).
When a fax comes in, the HP OfficeJet LX answers the phone and begins to receive the fax. After a few
seconds, it starts sending the fax to your PC. As this happens, both the control panel of the device and the HP
OfficeJet LX Manager window display "Answering," "Connecting," and "Receiving" messages. In most
cases, the device will complete reception and hang up the phone before the fax is ready to view on your PC.
When the fax has been received, the control panel and HP OfficeJet LX Manager display "fax received"
messages. If Eclipse FAX SE is running and Notify on Receipt has been selected in the Receive Setup dialog
box, Eclipse FAX SE also displays a message. You can click the Yes button in this message box to open the
Receive Log.
If you want to try running through the procedure at this point, see "Receiving and Printing a Test Fax" for
instructions.
4`29
Using the Receive Log to View, Print, or Delete Faxes
Eclipse FAX SE keeps a log (list) of the faxes you have received. From this log, you can view, modify, print,
or delete faxes.

Using Menus and Toolbars to View Faxes
Whenever you send or receive a PC fax, a data file containing the contents is stored on your PC. (This is also
true, of course, of documents that you fax to files on your PC, to be sent as faxes later; for information about
this feature, see "Faxing a Document to a File.") These files remain on your PC until you delete them.
In the meantime, as this section explains, you can open the files in Eclipse FAX SE and view them in various
ways. You can also modify them; see "Adding Text to a Fax" and "Adding an Image to a Fax" for
information.
Note: For information about the other Eclipse FAX SE menus, see "The Eclipse FAX SE Menus" at the
end of this chapter.
Viewing a Fax
From the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, there are several ways to display faxes.
:
:
Choose Send/Log or Receive/Log. In the log, either double-click the entry for the fax you want to view, or
highlight it and click the View button.
Or, choose File/Open File to open a fax that has been saved as a file, an image faxed to a file, a document
that has been scanned to a file, or any file in one of the supported file types.
Supported File Types
File types supported by Eclipse FAX SE (that is, files you can open and view within the program) include
TIF, PCX, DCX, CVR (the five Eclipse FAX SE cover pages), LHD (letterhead files), and SND (second
sheets files). For more information, see "Managing Files."
Once the fax is displayed, you can use the View and Page menus and the View and Thumbnail toolbars to
view it in different ways. These features are explained in the following pages.
4`35
The View Menu
:
Choose Best Fit to display the fax at approximately actual size (see the
example in the screen above).
:
:
Choose Full Page to display an entire page at once.
Choose Thumbnail View to display every page of the fax in reduced size. The
more pages the fax contains, the smaller the pages in the display will be.
:
:
:
Choose Reset to return from a zoomed image to Best Fit or Full Page. For
more information, see "Zooming in on a Page." This menu option is not
available unless you have zoomed, and is therefore not available in
Thumbnail view.
Choose Invert to display the fax or file with white letters on a black
background, rather than black on white (the default). If you print with Invert
turned on, the fax or file will also be printed with colors reversed. This option
is not available in Thumbnail view.
Choose Rotate to turn the fax or file 90, 180, or 270 degrees, or back to 0 degrees. This is useful, for
example, when viewing landscape mode faxes (such as spreadsheets), or when a fax is received upside
down. These options are not available in Thumbnail view.
4`36
Zooming in on a Page
To zoom in on (magnify) a page, follow these steps.
1. Check that you're in Best Fit or Full Page view (you can't zoom in Thumbnail view).
2. Hold down the left mouse button, select the area you want to magnify, and release the mouse button. The
area you selected will be magnified.
Zooming Tip
The smaller the area you select, the greater the zoom will be. So, to decrease the amount of zoom, select a
larger area.

The Tools menu toggles between Hide Tool Bar and Show Tool Bar. When you choose Hide Tool Bar, the
toolbar is closed and there's more room to display your fax. Choose Show Tool Bar to reopen the toolbar.
Note: When the Edit toolbar is displayed, choosing Hide Tool Bar effectively closes the Edit toolbar and
returns to the View toolbar (although you won't see it until you choose Show Tool Bar). For this
reason, if you add text to a fax with the Edit toolbar and then choose Hide Tool Bar, you'll be asked
if you want to save your changes. For more information, see "Adding Text to a Fax."
4`37

4`39
Scanning
Eclipse FAX SE gives you three ways of using the HP OfficeJet LX as a scanner.
Scan and fax: You can scan a document to your PC and then fax it. You might want to do this, for example,
so you can use an Eclipse FAX SE phonebook, or to add a cover page to a scanned document. You can also
add text or images to the fax before sending it.
Scan and view: You can scan a document to a file on your PC. Later, you can send a fax from this file; use it
in any application that supports TIF format; or save it in PCX or DCX format to use in another application
(for example, Paintbrush in Windows).
Scan and print: You can scan a document to the selected printer (usually the HP OfficeJet LX); but in most
cases, it's easier to simply use the HP OfficeJet LX as a copier.
Note: The HP OfficeJet's scanning capability is offered as a convenience to users. If you need to do high-
resolution or color scanning, you'll want to supplement the HP OfficeJet LX with a more powerful
scanner, such as an HP ScanJet.
Scanning Small Documents
To scan a photograph or some other type of document that's smaller than 8 1/2" x 11", place it in a protective
document carrier (a clear plastic holder that resembles a page protector; available at most office supply stores).
Scanning and Faxing
Follow these steps to scan and fax.
1. Open Eclipse FAX SE, if it is not already open. (The HP OfficeJet LX Manager must be running.)
2. Load the document that you want to scan in the loading tray, face-down and top of page first. You can
scan up to 20 pages at one time. Adjust the document guides if necessary.
3. From the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, choose Scan/Scan and Fax. The Send Fax dialog box appears. For
the Scan and Fax feature, the Send Fax dialog box does not include the Other Sheets and Special options.
4`40
4. Complete the Send Fax dialog box as described
in "Sending a Fax from a Windows Application."
When you click the Send Fax button, the HP
OfficeJet LX Scanner Options dialog box

scanning contains text only. Only black and
white will be scanned.
:
Or, click the Photo button if the document
you're scanning is or contains a photograph,
drawing, or some other kind of graphic.
Shades of gray and colors will be scanned.
Note: In either mode, scanning takes place at
200 dpi.
:
Optionally, click the Video Mode button to switch from Normal to Inverse so that black will be
scanned as white, and vice-versa. This option is useful for some PC scanning applications other than
Eclipse FAX SE, which scan in inverse by default (the setting brings the image back to normal).
6. Optionally, change the Contrast to either Lighten or Darken the scan (the factory setting is Normal).
7. Click the OK button.
8. Your document is scanned. The HP OfficeJet LX Scanner
Status dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to monitor
the progress of the scan and, optionally, to cancel the scan
after the current page. When the scan is complete, your fax
is sent at the scheduled time.

4`45
Adding Text to a Fax
Let's start by explaining what you can't do with this feature. You can't use it to rewrite or otherwise edit the
text of a fax document: you can't delete words or insert text between words. If editing is required, you should
do it in the Windows application where the fax originated.
You can use this feature to add one or more notes to a fax before you send it. The added text appears only in
the fax document, not in the original document.
In the example below, J. Austen has used Microsoft Word to draft a memo that she wants her colleague
Edward to review. Before faxing it to him with Eclipse FAX SE, she uses the Mark Up feature (explained on

Adding an Image to a Fax
Use this procedure to add an image of any kinds`uch as a signature`to a fax. The added image appears only
in the faxed document, not in the original document.
Note: Before you can use this feature, the image that you are going to add must be saved in a file with a
file type that Eclipse FAX SE can use. Acceptable file types include TIF, PCX, and DCX. If the
image is in a file with a different type-for example, a Word for Windows graphic-you can save it in
the accepted format by faxing it to a file in Eclipse FAX SE (see "Faxing a Document to a File").
For more information about file types, see "Managing Files."
In the example below, J. Austen has written a letter in Microsoft Word. Before faxing it, she uses Eclipse
FAX SE to place her signature which she has already scanned and saved as a file at the bottom of the letter.
The signature does not appear on the letter in Word; it appears only on the faxed document.
You can add an image to a fax before you send it. The
added image does not affect the original document.

Collecting Two or More Documents to Send as a Fax
You may sometimes want to fax two or more documents together. Eclipse FAX SE makes it easy to collect
documents into one file, which you can then send as a fax or save for later transmission. The documents must
be either faxes in your Send or Receive Log, or documents that have been faxed to files in Eclipse FAX SE.
For example, if you receive a fax that you want to forward to a colleague together with a Microsoft Word
document, you must first fax the Word document to a file in Eclipse FAX SE. For more information, see
"Faxing a Document to a File."
Preparing to Collect Documents
There are several ways of starting the process.
After completing one of the methods explained
below, go on to "Using the Collect Dialog Box."
Note: With Methods 2 and 3, you can include a
cover page that shows the total number
of pages in the fax. With Method 1,
although you can include a cover page, it
will not show the total number of pages
in the fax.
Method 1: Adding Documents to a Fax
That You're Sending from a Windows
Application
1. Follow the steps under "Sending a Fax from a
Windows Application," but click the Append
Pages button in the Special box of the Send
Fax dialog box. (You may include a cover
page, but it will apply to this document only;
it will not show the total number of pages in
the fax).

want to include in the fax. The fax is displayed.
2. Choose File/Collect Pages. The Collect dialog box appears.
Using the Collect Dialog Box
Use the Collect dialog box to collect a group of documents that can be either faxed at once, or saved as a file
for later transmission.
Documents to Collect Box. The top part of the dialog box shows the files that you have added. As you add
files, they're shown in the order in which you add them, but if you close and reopen the dialog box, the files
are shown in alphabetic order, as in the example below.
Document, Page, Order Box. The bottom part of the dialog box contains one entry for each page in each
document, and shows the order in which the pages will be faxed. You can change this order, as explained
below, and when you reopen the Collect dialog box, the new page order will be reflected here. In the example
below, there are two listings in the bottom part of the dialog box for GLOSS.TIF because that document has
two pages.
These are the collected documents,
shown here in alphabetic order.
These are the pages in each
document, shown in the order in
which they will be faxed.
1. Do one or more of the following. Continue with this step until you have added all the files that you want
to collect. Don't worry if they're not in the right order; you can change the order later.

Thumbnail view, beginning with the file that you started with. In the example below, a two-page
glossary has been added to a one-page memo.
3. Optionally, use the Thumbnail toolbar to delete pages or change the order of pages. For more
information, see "The Thumbnail Toolbar."
If one or more of the documents you collected contain cover pages, the cover pages will be included in
the fax, but they will not show the new number of pages. Therefore, you may want to delete those cover
pages in this step. (If you used Method 2 or 3 under "Preparing to Collect Documents," you will have an
opportunity later in this procedure to include a cover page that shows the total number of pages in the
fax.)
4. If you want to add more documents to the file, click the Collect Pages tool. The Collect dialog
box opens. Repeat steps 1 through 4.
5. When you have finished adding documents to the file, if you want to fax it now, go on to step 6.

the Eclipse FAX SE window.
Modifying Cover Pages
Eclipse FAX SE comes with a set of cover pages. The names and designs of these cover pages vary from
country to country; for illustrations of the cover pages available to you, see "Viewing the Eclipse FAX SE
Cover Pages." For each cover page, you have two files:
:
:
Filename.CVR contains the image of the cover page.
Filename .CCF describes the placement of information on the cover page.
You can edit the .CVR files to add text and images to cover pages, but you cannot change the location of
cover page information, change a cover page name, or generate new cover pages.
When you modify an Eclipse FAX SE cover page, you should save it with its original filename. Otherwise,
Eclipse FAX SE will not recognize it as a cover page. Therefore, if you think you may want to use the
original Eclipse FAX SE cover page at some time in the future, you should save it with a different filename,
such as [name].OLD, before you begin this procedure.
The procedure below shows you how to add an image to a cover page. You can also add text to cover pages
by following the instructions under "Adding Text to a Fax."
1. If you want to save the cover page you're going to modify with a different filename, do so now.
2. If the image has been saved to a file in Eclipse FAX SE, go on to step 3. Otherwise, either fax a copy of
the image to a file in Eclipse FAX SE (see "Faxing a Document to a File"), or use your scanner to save it
to a file (see "Scanning and Viewing").
3. From the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, choose File/Open File. The Open dialog box appears.
4. Select the directory hpojet\efax\images.
5. In the List Files of Type box, select Cover Page (*.CVR). Eclipse FAX SE displays the filenames of your
five cover pages.
6. Select the cover page you want to modify and click the OK button. Eclipse FAX SE opens the cover
page.
4`57
7. Choose Special/Place Image. The Place Image dialog box appears.
8. In the Place Image dialog box, do one of the following:
:
:
Choose File/Open. The Open dialog box appears. Open the file
that contains the image you want to add.
If the image is in a fax you have received or sent, choose
File/Open Receive Log or File/Open Send Log. The Receive Log or
Send Log dialog box appears. Open the file that contains the
image you want to add.

Using Letterhead and Second Sheets in Faxes
You can use Eclipse FAX SE to send faxes on versions of your own letterhead and second sheets. (Letterhead
is used for the first page of a letter; the second sheet is used for the second and subsequent pages.)
Note: Fax documents will be electronically "printed" on top of your letterhead. If the top margin in a fax
document isn't set with this in mind, the letterhead may overlay the first part of the fax.
The top margin of this fax document is too small to accommodate the
letterhead
The top margin in this fax document has been set to leave room for the
letterhead

Managing Files
Eclipse FAX SE uses several different file types (a file type, also called a file format, is a method of
compressing and storing bits of information). Comprehensive information on file types is outside the scope of
this User's Guide, but you might find the information in the table below helpful.
Remember that every time you send or receive a PC fax, every time you fax a document to Eclipse FAX SE
and save it as a file, and every time you choose File/New Page from the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, a file is
added to your disk. Over time, these files can take up a considerable amount of disk space. Therefore, we
recommend that you delete unwanted files frequently.
Filename
Extension
File Type
Explanations
DCX
.DCX
A document file type used by Eclipse FAX SE for sent and received PC faxes. This is
also the file type created when you choose File/New Page from the Eclipse FAX SE
menu bar. This file type is also used by other applications.
PCX
.PCX
A page file type used by various applications for single-page graphic images. You can
save files in Eclipse FAX SE with a PCX file type to use or edit in other applications
that support this file type, such as Paintbrush, the graphics program that comes with
Windows. A PCX file can contain only one page, so if you save a multiple-page file
with this file type, Eclipse FAX SE will create one PCX file for each page.
A commonly-used file type for graphic images. Save files as TIF files in Eclipse FAX
SE to use in other applications that support this file type. (There are several variations of
the TIF standard, so other applications are not always able to read TIF files created in
Eclipse FAX SE.)
TIF
.TIF
Cover Page
.CVR
A file type used by Eclipse FAX SE for cover pages. (You cannot add a new cover page
by creating a file of this type, because each cover page requires an accompanying .CCF
file with specially coded information.)
Letterhead
Second
.LHD
.SND
Save files with this file type in order to use them as letterhead in Eclipse FAX SE.
Save files with this file type in order to use them as second sheets in Eclipse FAX SE.

Using the HP OfficeJet LX Printer Options
Windows software programs provide general settings (such as font sizes and types), that
you can select for any printer. The HP OfficeJet LX printer software provides specific
settings (such as print quality and page orientation), that you can select for the
HP OfficeJet LX. Settings made in your software program and in the HP OfficeJet LX
printer software override settings made with the control panel.
Printer options include the method used to print your document (Printout Mode), the print
quality of your document, the orientation of text and images on the printed page, the type
of paper or other media you are printing on, and the size that you are printing on.

If you use DOS software applications
Note: If you use DOS software applications and Windows applications, be sure to exit
Windows before runing your DOS applications. Do Not run DOS applications
from the Windows MS DOS Prompt.
For each DOS software application you use, you must use a specific printer driver. Your
DOS software application supplies printer drivers for many printer models. A printer
driver that supports your printer features may already be in your software application.
Note: Your access to some printer features, such as font selection, depends on your
software application and the printer driver installed.
1. Determine if your software application provides a printer driver that you can use.
Check the printer selection or printer setup menu in your software application for a list of
printer models. The list below identifies recommended printer driver selections you can
use and the type of support that each offers:
Use this printer driver:
HP DeskJet 520 printer
HP DeskJet 510 printer
HP DeskJet 500 printer
For this type of printer support:
All printer features
All printer features
All printer features except for some fonts and
envelope printing
2. Select the printer driver using the instructions provided by your software
application manual.
If the HP DeskJet 520 printer is not listed, use one of the alternate printer drivers listed
and contact your software company to determine if an HP DeskJet 520 printer driver is
available. The printer driver for DOS Applications shipped with your HP OfficeJet LX
contains drivers for Lotus 1-2-3 (versions 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.1+, 3.4 and 4.0) and
WordPerfect (versions 5.1, 5.1+ and 6.0.)
3. Print a few documents from your software applications to make sure documents are
printing correctly.
This ensures that you have selected an appropriate printer driver.
Note: You may need to add or change the MODE statement in your computer's
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The MODE statement tells your computer where to send
printing information. This statement is not always required. If the HP OfficeJet
LX won't print, check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to make sure the MODE
statement for a Centronics parallel connection to the LPT1 port is: MODE
LPT1:,,P. If you are not familiar with your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, see your
DOS manual for information.

Printing Envelopes With Windows Applications
When you print envelopes from Windows applications on the HP OfficeJet LX, be sure to
choose the correct Media Size in the Printer Options.
The HP OfficeJet LX automatically selects the correct Orientation when you choose an
envelope media size. The Orientation controls in the HP OfficeJet Printer Setup dialog
box are grayed out when you choose an envelope size.
You may, however, need to select printing orientation in your software program. Some
programs use a print setup dialog provided by Windows to select common printer
settings. This dialog does not automatically default to the correct orientation for
envelopes. If the Orientation settings are not disabled (grayed out) when you select
envelopes, you must select the correct orientation in the software program print setup
dialog box.
Select Landscape orientation for the HP OfficeJet LX printer.

Controlling the Appearance

Controlling How Your Copies Will Look
The following sections describe how to assess the quality of your original document and
how to make adjustments that will improve the appearance of your copies.
Use the following table to decide if you need to modify your original or the copier
settings before copying.
Goal:
Do this:
Adjust the Resolution setting to Photo.
Graphic illustrations and
photographs as sharp as possible
Adjust the Fax/Copy Contrast setting.
Lighten or darken the copy while
scanning
Insert the original document into a protective document
carrier before copying. (A document carrier is a clear
plastic holder that looks something like a page protector.
It's available at most office supply stores.)
Copy a document that's smaller
than standard sizes or a document
that's torn
Remove staples and paper clips from the document
before copying.
CAUTION: Failure to remove staples and paper clips
before copying can cause permanent damage to the
scanner inside the HP OfficeJet LX.
Copy a document that's stapled or
paper-clipped
5`14
Making Reduced Copies
of Your Original Document
Refer to "Changing Copy Reduction" in chapter 2 to set the copy reduction using the
HP OfficeJet LX Manager or to chapter 6 to use the control panel menu.
Note: When you have the resolution set to Photo and Copy Reduction to 100%, your
copies will actually be at 98% of the original size, which provides the highest
possible print quality.
Adjusting the Contrast
Refer to "Adjusting the Contrast" in chapter 2 to set the copy reduction using the
HP OfficeJet LX Manager or to chapter 6 to use the control panel menu.
Use this setting:
For these kinds of fax originals:
Normal
Documents with acceptable lightness/darkness. This is the
factory setting.
Lighten
Darken
Originals that are too dark.
Originals that are too light.
Note: You cannot make copies in Standard resolution. If the Resolution is set to
Standard, your document will be copied in Fine mode, although the display will
not change to indicate this and the setting will not be changed on the control
panel. The Standard setting can only be applied to the resolution of outgoing
faxes.

6 Using the
Front Panel
Most front panel settings can be made quickly and easily using the HP OfficeJet LX
Manager. For that reason, this chapter gives you a quick tutorial on using the front
panel and maps to each of the menu options. (Except where noted, explanations for the
front panel menu options can be found in chapter 2.)

When and How to Use the Front Panel
The primary method for making HP OfficeJet LX settings is the HP OfficeJet LX
Manager. When this is not possible, use the front panel buttons to make your way
through the menu system. To help you, the menu maps presented here are in the same
order as the option explanations in chapter 2. We've also used, as much as possible, the
same titles to help guide you.
6`3
Using the Menu Buttons
The following is a quick overview of how to use the front panel buttons with the menu
system.
Press Backspace to move back to a previous menu level, or,
during data entry, delete the character to the left of the cursor.
Press Enter/Save to select the menu
or setting shown on the bottom line of
the display. Press twice to make your
selection and return to the Ready
display.
Press Menu to
enter the menu
system.
Press Left Arrow or Right Arrow to
move to the next menu, setting, or
character (during data entry).
Press Stop to cancel an operation in progress or exit the menus
immediately (when you don't want to make a selection) and
return to the Ready display.

3. Gather some basic information if you plan to call HP for help.
If you suspect that your HP OfficeJet LX will have to be returned or exchanged, be sure
to have the following information readily available before you contact HP or your dealer:

Purchase date and proof of purchase
A valid credit card or purchase order number (required for HP's Express Exchange)
4. Call your dealer or the HP Customer Support Center. (See phone numbers on next
two pages.)

contact either your dealer or the HP Customer Support Center for further assistance.
An HP Customer Support representative will work with you to quickly determine and
solve any problems you may have, and let you know whether repair is necessary.

The connection between the print
cartridge and cradle is intermittent.
Remove the print cartridge and reinstall it.
Try printing again. You may need to repeat
this before the ink resumes a continuous flow.
OR
OR
The copper contacts of the print
cartridge are dirty.
1. Remove the print cartridge. (For help, see
the instructions in "Changing the Print
Cartridge" later in this chapter.) Use a
lint-free damp cloth to gently clean the
copper contacts on the print cartridge and the
print cartridge cradle.
OJ-61
2. Reinstall the print cartridge and try printing
again. If the print quality remains poor after
cleaning the contacts, clean the ink nozzles as
described for the next symptom in this table.
(Continued on next page)
7`19
Symptom:
Cause:
Solution:
The ink nozzles of the print cartridge are
clogged.
1. Press the Clean Pen button and wait about
15 seconds while the ink nozzles are cleaned
automatically. Then print the Self Test report
(see instructions in chapter 2). Check the two
print cartridge test patterns in the Self Test
report. If the diagonal line has white gaps in
it, or if the area fill has horizontal white lines
in it, continue with step 2; otherwise, stop
here and continue printing normally.
The print
cartridge has
dried ink on the
"nose."
2. Remove the print cartridge. (For help, see
the instructions in "Changing the Print
Cartridge" later in this chapter.) Hold the
print cartridge by the green top with the
"nose" pointed toward your waste can. Use an
index card or other rigid paper to scrape the
dried ink from the nozzles into the waste can
(see illustration below). Then use a lint-free
damp cloth to gently clean the ink nozzles.
Reinstall the print cartridge and print the Self
Test report again. Check for white gaps and
white lines again. If you find some, continue
with step 3; otherwise, stop here and continue
printing normally.

Symptom:
Cause:
Solution:
3. Remove the print cartridge. Hold the print
cartridge by the green top with the "nose"
pointed upward. Place two drops of clean
water on the gold rectangle on the "nose" of
the print cartridge. After 60 seconds, gently
remove the water from the print cartridge
with a lint-free damp cloth. Then reinstall the
print cartridge and try printing again. You
may need to print a few pages before the ink
resumes a continuous flow.
CAUTION: Do not clean the print cartridge
unnecessarily; it will shorten the life of the
print cartridge.
4. If the print quality remains poor, install a
new print cartridge. If the problem persists,
see "Getting Help" earlier in this chapter.
Use the instructions in the previous symptom,
"Print cartridge has dried ink on the "nose,"
to solve this problem.

Symptom:
Cause:
Solution:
It is possible that your PC is overloaded with
activity like sending more than one fax at a
time, or starting applications that take a long
time.
Try to reduce the activity on your PC while
faxes are being sent or received.
PC faxes quit
during sending.
If the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is not
running, faxes are printed on receipt. If your
PC is too busy, faxes are printed on receipt.

Warranty Information
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which
vary from state to state or province to province.
One-Year Limited Warranty
Hewlett-Packard warrants the HP OfficeJet LX against defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one year from receipt by the end user. During the warranty
period, Hewlett-Packard will, at its option, either repair or replace products that prove
to be defective. Replacement products will be remanufactured units.
Should Hewlett-Packard be unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable
amount of time, a refund of the purchase price may be given upon return of the product.
Exclusions
The warranty on your HP OfficeJet LX shall not apply to defects resulting from the
following:
Improper or inadequate maintenance by the customer.
Unauthorized modification or misuse.
:
:
:
Operation outside of the environmental specifications for the product.
Operation using non-supported printing media.
The warranty period begins either on the date of delivery or, where the purchase price
includes installation by Hewlett-Packard or its authorized dealer, on the date of
installation.
Warranty Limitations
The warranty set forth above is exclusive and no other warranty, whether written or
oral, is expressed or implied. Hewlett-Packard specifically disclaims the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. However, any implied
warranty of merchantability or fitness is limited to the one year duration of this written
warranty.
8`8
Regulatory Information
The following sections describe the product requirements from two different regulatory
bodies: the Federal Communications Commission (FCC, U.S. only) and the Canadian
Department of Communications (DOC, Canada only).
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
Equivalence 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 may 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
(5.0). 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 may
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 may 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.
8`9
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
may 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's public utility
commission, 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 briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
:
FCC rules prohibit the use of non-hearing aid compatible telephones in the following
locations or applications:
All public or semipublic coin-operated or credit card telephones.
:
:
Elevators, highways, tunnels (automobile, subway, railroad or pedestrian) where a
person with impaired hearing might be isolated in an emergency.
Places where telephones are specifically installed to alert emergency authorities such as
fire, police, or medical assistance personnel.
:
:
:
Hospital rooms, residential health care facilities, convalescent homes, and prisons.
Workstations for the hearing impaired.
Hotel, motel, or apartment lobbies; in stores where telephones are used by patrons to
order merchandise; in public transportation terminals where telephones are used to call
taxis, or to reserve lodging or rental cars.
:
Hotel and motel rooms. At least ten percent of the rooms must contain hearing aid
compatible telephones, jacks, or plug-in hearing aid-compatible telephones which will
be provided to hearing impaired customers upon request.
8`10
Electromagnetic or Radio Frequency Interference:
FCC Requirements
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and may cause interference
to radio and television reception. Your facsimile complies with the specifications of
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission rules for a Class B digital device.
These specifications provide reasonable protection against such interference in
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If the facsimile does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the facsimile off and on, you can try to
eliminate the interference problem by doing one or more of the following.
Reorient the receiving antenna.
:
:
:
Reorient the position of the facsimile with respect to the receiver.
Move the facsimile away from the receiver.
Plug the facsimile into a different outlet so that the facsimile and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult an authorized HP service agency or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find the following
booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, to be helpful: "How to
Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from
the US Government Printing Office, Washington DC 20402, Stock No.
004-000-00345-4.
Note: You must purchase separately the shielded Centronics parallel interface cable
recommended in this manual (or an equivalent cable) to ensure compliance
with FCC Part 15.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hewlett-Packard for compliance
could void the user's authority to use the equipment.
8`11
Notice to Users of the Canadian Telephone
Network: DOC Requirements
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
equipment. The certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective operations and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment
must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the
company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company
cause to request the user to disconnect 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 may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The connecting arrangement code for this equipment is CA11A.
The Load Number for the HP OfficeJet LX is 4.0.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to be connected to a telephone loop or circuit which is used by the device to
prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the load numbers of all devices
does not exceed 100.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la class B prescrites dans le Règlement
sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministére des Communications du Canada.
