To send a fax to a group manually (ad hoc faxing) Use the following instructions to send a fax to a group of recipients that has not been assigned a group-dial entry: 1. Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray or onto the flatbed scanner.
Using manual dial Usually, the device dials after you press S TART F AX . At times, however, you might want the device to dial each number as you press it.
Redialing manually If you want to send another document to the last fax number that was dialed, use the following procedure to redial manually. If you are trying to resend the same document that you sent the first time, wait until the automatic redial attempts have stopped or until you have stopped them yourself.
Canceling a fax job Use these instructions to cancel a single fax that is currently dialing or a fax that is being transmitted or received. To cancel the current fax job Press C ANCEL on the control panel. Any pages that have not been transmitted are canceled.
Sending faxes by using the software This section contains basic instructions for sending faxes by using the software that came with the device. All other software-related topics are covered in the software Help, which can be opened from the software-program Help menu.
To send a fax from a third-party application, such as Microsoft Word (all operating systems) 1. Open a document in a third-party program. 2. Click the File menu, and then click Print . 3. Select the fax print driver from the printer drop-down list. The fax software appears.
Receiving faxes You can receive faxes to the device or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the device are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same telephone line as the device, you must change how the device answers incoming faxes.
Sending a fax by dialing from a telephone Occasionally, you might want to dial a fax number from a telephone that is connected to the same line as the device. For example, if you are sending a fax to a person whose device is in the manual receive mode, you can precede the fax with a voice call to let that person know that the fax is coming.
Changing the default light/dark (contrast) setting The contrast affects the lightness and darkness of an outgoing fax as it is being sent. To change the default light/dark (contrast) setting The default light/dark setting is the contrast that is normally applied to items that are being faxed.
Changing the default resolution setting Resolution, in dots per inch (dpi), affects the quality of faxed documents. It also affects the transmission speed as a higher resolution produces a larger file, which requires more time to transmit. The factory-set default resolution setting is Fine .
Changing the default glass-size setting This setting determines which paper size the flatbed scanner scans when you send a fax from the scanner. The factory-set default is determined by the region/country in which you purchased the device. To change the default glass-size setting 1.
Selecting tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode Use this procedure to set the device to tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is Tone . Do not change this setting unless you know that your telephone line cannot use tone dialing. To select tone-dialing or pulse-dialing 1.
Changing the redial settings If the device was unable to send a fax because the receiving fax machine did not answer or was busy, the device attempts to redial based on the redial-on-busy, redial-on-no-ans wer, and redial-on-communicat ion-error options.
Receiving faxes to your computer To receive faxes to your computer, you must turn on the receive-to-PC setting in the software (see the device software Help).
Setting the answer mode Depending on your situation, you can set the device answer mode to Automatic or Manual . The factory-set default is Automatic . ● Automatic: In this answer mode, the device answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones.
Changing ring patterns for call answering Ring-pattern or distinctive-ring service is available through some local telephone companies. The service allows you to have more than one telephone number on a single line. Each telephone number has a unique ring pattern, so that you can answer voice calls and the device can answer fax calls.
Changing the rings-to-answer setting When the answer mode is set to Automatic , the device rings-to-answer setting determines the number of times the telephone rings before the device answers an incoming call.
Changing autoreduction settings for incoming faxes If the fit-to-page option is turned on, the device automatically reduces long faxes up to 75 percent to fit the information on the default paper size (for example, the fax is reduced from legal to letter size).
Blocking or unblocking fax numbers If you do not want to receive faxes from specific people or businesses, you can block as many as 30 fax numbers by using the control panel.
About speed-dial entries, one-touch keys, and group-dial entries You can store frequently dialed fax numbers or groups of fax numbers as one-touch keys, speed-dial entries, or group-dial entries. In the device phone book, a total of 120 entries are available for speed-dial entries and group-dial entries.

To delete an individual from a group-dial entry 1. On the device control panel, press M ENU . 2. Use the < or the > button to select Fax setup , and then press E NTER . 3. Press E NTER to select Phone Book . 4. Use the < or the > button to select Group setup , and then press E NTER .
Using dialing characters When using the control panel to enter your name in the header or to enter a name for a one- touch key, speed-dial entry, or group-dial entry, press the appropriate alphanumeric button repeatedly until the letter that you need appears.
Inserting a dial prefix A dial prefix is a number or group of numbers that are automatically added to the beginning of every fax number you enter at the control panel or from the software. The maximum number of characters for a dial prefix is 50. The default setting is Off .
Sending a delayed fax You can schedule a fax to be sent automatically at a future time to one or more people. When you complete this procedure, the device scans the document into memory and returns to the Ready state so that you can perform other tasks.
Changing the detect-dial-tone setting Normally, the device begins dialing a fax number immediately. If you are using the device on the same line as your telephone, turn on the detect-dial-tone setting. This prevents the device from sending a fax while someone is on the telephone.
Using billing codes If the billing codes feature has been turned on, the user will be asked to enter a billing code for each fax. The billing number is credited for each fax page that is sent. This includes all types of faxes except for poll-received, fax-forwarded, or computer-downloaded faxes.
Reprinting a fax If you want to reprint a fax because the print cartridge was empty or if the fax was printed on the wrong type of media, you can try to reprint it. The amount of memory that is available determines the actual number of faxes that are stored for reprinting.
Deleting faxes from memory Use this procedure only if you are concerned that someone else has access to your device and might try to reprint faxes from the memory.
Using fax forwarding You can set your device to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at your device, it is stored in the memory.
Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes With this setting turned on, you can alert the device to pick up the incoming fax call by pressing 1-2-3 sequentially on the telephone keypad (in tone-dial mode only). The default setting is On .
Using fax polling If someone else has set up a fax to be polled, you can request that the fax be sent to your device. (This is known as polling another machine). To poll (request a fax from) another fax machine 1. On the device control panel, press M ENU .
Changing the silence-detect mode This setting controls whether or not you can receive faxes from older-model fax machines that do not emit a fax signal during fax transmissions. At the time of this publication, these silent-model fax machines represented very few of the fax machines in use.
Creating stamp-received faxes The device prints the sender identification information at the top of each received fax. You can also choose to have your own header information included on each received fax to confirm the date and time that the fax was received.
Setting the fax-error-correction mode Usually, the device monitors the signals on the telephone line while it is sending or receiving a fax. If the device detects an error during the transmission and the error-correction setting is On , the device can request that the portion of the fax be resent.
Changing the V.34 setting The V.34 setting is the modem protocol that the device uses to send faxes. It is the worldwide standard for full-duplex modems that send and receive data across telephone lines at up to 33,600 bits per second (bps). The factory-set default for the V.

Identifying and correcting print defects Use the checklist and print-quality issues charts in this section to solve print-quality problems. Print-quality checklist General print-quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist: 1. Make sure that the paper or print media that you are using meets specifications.
Problem Cause Solution Print is light or faded. The media might not meet HP specifications. Use media that meets HP specifications. See Media specifications . One or more print cartridges might be low. If you are using non-HP print cartridges, no messages appear on the device control panel or in the HP Toolbox.
Problem Cause Solution Dropouts appear. A single sheet of print media might be defective. Try reprinting the job. The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try different paper, such as high-quality paper that is intended for color laser printers.
Problem Cause Solution Toner smears appear on the media. The media might not meet HP specifications. Use media that meets HP specifications. See Media specifications . If toner smears appear on the leading edge of the paper, the media guides are dirty, or debris has accumulated in the print path.
Problem Cause Solution The toner smears easily when touched. The device is not set to print on the type of media on which you want to print. In the printer driver, select the Paper tab and set Type is to match the type of media on which you are printing.
Problem Cause Solution The printed page contains misformed characters. The media might not meet HP specifications. Use a different paper, such as high-quality paper that is intended for color laser printers. See Media specifications . If characters are incorrectly formed so that they produce a wavy effect, the laser scanner might need service.
Problem Cause Solution The printed page contains wrinkles or creases. The media might be loaded incorrectly. Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray, or try rotating the paper 180° in the input tray. Verify that the media is loaded correctly and that the media guides are not too tight or too loose against the stack.
Problem Cause Solution Only black is printing when the document should be printing in color. Color mode is not selected in your program or printer driver. Select color mode instead of grayscale mode. The correct printer driver might not be selected in the program.
Problem Cause Solution The colors on the printed page do not match the colors as they appear on the screen. The colors on your computer monitor might differ from the device output. Select Screen Match in the Color tab of the printer driver. The printer driver might affect color printing.
● Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. ● The device uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (210°C or 410°F for 0.2 second).
Problem Cause Solution More than one sheet feeds at one time. The media tray might be overloaded. Remove some of the media from the tray. See Loading trays . The media might be wrinkled, folded, or damaged. Verify that the media is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
Problem Cause Solution Pages did not print. The device might not be pulling media correctly. See Media-handling problems . The media is jamming in the device. Clear the jam. See Clearing jams . The USB cable might be defective or incorrectly connected.
Scan problems This section helps you identify and resolve scanning problems. Solving scanned image problems Use the table below to solve image-scan issues. Problem Cause Solution The scanned image is of poor quality. The original might be a second- generation photo or picture.
Problem Cause Solution Part of the image did not scan. The original might have been loaded incorrectly. Use the media guides when you load the originals into the ADF. See To load originals into the automatic document feeder (ADF) . A colored background might be causing images in the foreground to blend into the background.
Problem Cause Solution The scan takes too long The resolution or color level is set too high. Change the resolution and color level settings to the correct settings for your job. See Scanner resolution and color . The software is set to scan in color.
Solving scan-quality problems Problem Cause Solution Blank pages The original might have been loaded upside down. In the automatic document feeder (ADF), put the top end of the stack of originals into the ADF input tray, with the media stack face-up and the first page to be scanned on top of the stack.
Copy problems This section helps you identify and resolve copying problems. Preventing problems The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy quality: ● Copy from the flatbed scanner. This will produce a higher quality copy than copying from the automatic document feeder (ADF).
Problem Cause Solution Vertical white or faded stripes appear on the copy. The media might not meet HP specifications. Use media that meets HP specifications. See Media specifications . One or more print cartridges might be low. Replace any low print cartridges.
Problem Cause Solution Dropouts, jamming, or curl The paper has been stored incorrectly. Store paper flat in its moisture- proof wrapping. The paper has variability from one side to the other.
Problem Cause Solution Device does not pull media from the media input tray. The device might be in manual feed mode. ● If Manual feed appears on the device control-panel display, press E NTER to print the job. ● Verify that the device is not in manual feed mode and print your job again.
