Load full-size paper  
You can load full-size letter, A4, or legal paper into the input tray of the HP Fax.  
CAUTION: Make sure that the HP Fax is idle and silent when you load paper into  
the input tray. If it is servicing the print cartridges or otherwise engaged in a task, the  
paper stop inside the HP Fax might not be in place. You could push the paper too far  
forward, causing the HP Fax to eject blank pages.  
TIP: To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in  
a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature  
and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP Fax.

down. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead, refer to the diagram  
engraved in the base of the input tray.  
5. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.  
Do not overload the input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the input tray  
and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.  
Load originals  
You can copy or fax a single or multiple-page A4-, letter-, or legal-size document by  
placing it in the document feeder tray.  
The document feeder tray holds a maximum of 20 sheets of letter- or A4-size paper, or  
it holds 15 sheets of legal-size paper.  
To load an original in the document feeder tray  
1. Load your original, with the print side down, into the document feeder tray. Place the  
pages so that the top edge of the document goes in first. Slide the media into the  
automatic document feeder until you hear a beep or see a message on the display  
indicating that the loaded pages were detected.  
TIP: For more help on loading originals in the automatic document feeder, refer  
to the diagram engraved in the document feeder tray.

To send a basic fax from the control panel  
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see Load originals.

Set the answer mode  
The answer mode determines how the HP Fax answers incoming calls.  
Select Fax mode if you want to receive faxes automatically. The HP Fax will answer  
the telephone, automatically detect fax tones, and receive a fax.  
Select Tel mode if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to  
respond in person to the incoming fax call or the HP Fax does not receive faxes. Press  
START FAX Black or START FAX Color to begin receiving the fax.  
Select FaxTel mode if you want the HP Fax to answer faxes automatically after a  
certain number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. If the HP  
Fax does not sense a fax signal, it will ring 5 times in a different tone to tell you it may  
be a regular telephone call. If you do not pick up the handset, it will try again to receive  
a fax after several more rings.  
Select AnswerMachine mode if you have an answering machine connected directly  
to the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of your HP Fax. When a call comes in, the  
answering machine answers and listens. If it detects fax tones, it receives the fax;  
otherwise, the answering machine records the caller's message. If the answering  
machine is switched off or not connected to your HP Fax, the HP Fax will automatically  
attempt to receive a fax after several rings.  
To select the answer mode via the control panel  
Press Answer Mode button until the desired mode displays.  
Set up faxing for the HP Fax  
After completing all the steps in the setup poster, use the instructions in this section to  
complete your fax setup. Keep your setup poster for later use.

Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)  
Before you begin setting up the HP Fax for faxing, determine which kind of phone system  
your country/region uses. The instructions for fax setup differ depending on whether you  
have a serial- or parallel-type phone system.  
If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a  
serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your  
shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines) does not  
allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the HP Fax. Instead, all equipment  
must be connected at the telephone wall jack.  
NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone  
cord that came with the HP Fax might have an additional wall plug attached to it.  
This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug  
in the HP Fax.  
If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a parallel-type  
telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared  
telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of the  
HP Fax.  
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the  
2-wire phone cord supplied with the HP Fax to connect it to the telephone wall  
jack.

Description  
Status messages  
Status messages reflect the current state of the HP Fax.  
They inform you of normal operation and require no action  
to clear them. They change as the state of the HP Fax  
changes. Whenever the HP Fax is ready, not busy, and  
has no pending warning messages, the display shows  
date, time, and the answer mode.  
Warning messages  
Error messages  
Warning messages inform you of events that require your  
attention, but they do not prevent the HP Fax from  
operating. An example of a warning message is a low ink  
warning. These messages appear until you resolve the  
condition.  
Error messages communicate that some action must be  
performed, such as adding media or clearing a media jam.  
These messages are usually accompanied by a blinking  
red Attention light. Take the appropriate action to continue  
printing.  
If the error message shows an error code, unplug the HP  
Fax, and then plug it in again. In most situations, this  
action solves the problem. If the message persists, your  
HP Fax might need service. For more information, see  
NOTE: The faxes stored in memory are not deleted  
when you unplug the power cord.

Description  
Critical error messages  
Critical error messages inform you of a HP Fax failure.  
Some of these messages can be cleared by unplugging  
the power cord, and plugging it back in again. If a critical  
error persists, service is required. For more information,  
NOTE: The faxes stored in memory are not deleted  
when you unplug the power cord.  
Text and symbols  
You can use the keypad on the control panel to enter text and symbols.  
You can also enter symbols from the keypad when you dial a fax or phone number. When  
the HP Fax dials the number, it interprets the symbol and responds accordingly. For  
example, if you enter a dash in the fax number, the HP Fax will pause before dialing the  
remainder of the number. A pause is useful if you need to gain access to an outside line  
before dialing the fax number.  
NOTE: If you want to enter a symbol in your fax number, such as a dash, you need  
to enter the symbol by using the keypad.  
Type numbers and text on the control-panel keypad  
You can enter text or symbols by using the keypad on the control panel.  
After you are done entering text, press OK to store your entry.  
To enter text  
1. Press the keypad numbers that correspond to the letters of a name. For example, the  
letters a, b, and c correspond to the number 2, as shown on the button below.  
TIP: Press a button multiple times to see the available characters. Depending  
on your language and country/region setting, other characters might be available  
in addition to the ones shown on the keypad.  
2. After the correct letter appears, wait for the cursor to advance automatically to the  
right, or press the right arrow button. Press the number that corresponds to the next  
letter in the name. Press the button multiple times until the correct letter appears. The  
first letter of a word is automatically set to uppercase.

Select print media  
The HP Fax is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a  
variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum  
print quality. Visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com for more information about HP media.  
Tips for selecting and using print media  
For the best results, observe the following guidelines.  
Always use media that conforms to the HP Fax specifications. For more information,  
Load only one type of media at a time into a tray.  
Load media print-side down and aligned against the right and back edges of the tray.  
For more information, see Load full-size paper.  
Do not overload the tray. For more information, see Understand specifications for  
To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following  
media:  
Multipart forms  
Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled  
Media with cutouts or perforations  
Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well  
Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily  
Photo media  
Use the Best mode to copy images/embedded pictures. Note that in this mode,  
copying takes longer.  
Remove each sheet as it copies and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack  
up may cause smearing.  
Transparencies  
Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing  
towards the back of the device.  
Use the Normal mode to copy transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time  
and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the  
output tray.

3 Fax  
You can use the HP Fax to send and receive faxes, including color faxes. You can  
schedule faxes to be sent at a later time and set up speed-dials to send faxes quickly and  
easily to frequently used numbers. From the control panel, you can also set a number of  
fax options, such as resolution and the contrast between lightness and darkness on the  
faxes you send.  
NOTE: Before you begin faxing, make sure you have set up the HP Fax properly for  
faxing.  
You can verify the fax is set up correctly by running the fax setup test from the control  
panel. To run the fax test, press Setup, select Tools, select Run fax test, and then press  
OK.  
Send a fax  
You can send a fax in a variety of ways. Using the control panel, you can send a black-  
and-white or color fax. You can also initiate a fax manually from an external phone. This  
allows you to speak with the recipient before sending the fax.  
Send a fax manually from a phone  
Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient before  
you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are going to  
send them a fax before sending it. When you send a fax manually, you can hear the dial  
tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your telephone. This  
makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.  
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might answer  
the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the phone, you  
can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine answers the call,  
22

you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the fax tones from the  
receiving fax machine.  
To initiate a fax manually from an external phone  
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see Load originals.  
2. Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the HP Fax.  
NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the HP Fax when manually  
sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the recipient's  
number.  
3. If the recipient answers the telephone, you can engage in a conversation before  
sending your fax.  
NOTE: If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax tones from the  
receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to transmit the fax.  
4. When you are ready to send the fax, press START FAX Black or START FAX  
Color.  
NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax, and then press START FAX Black or  
START FAX Color again.  
If you were speaking with the recipient before sending the fax, inform the recipient  
that they should press Start on their fax machine after they hear fax tones.  
The telephone line is silent while the fax is transmitting. At this point, you can hang  
up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient, remain on the  
line until the fax transmission is complete.  
To send a fax manually using the attached handset  
1. Load your originals print side down and top first in the center of the document feeder  
tray.  
2. Pick up the handset that is attached to the HP Fax and dial the number by using the  
keypad on the control panel.  
3. If the recipient answers the telephone, you can engage in a conversation before  
sending your fax.  
NOTE: If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax tones from the  
receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to transmit the fax.  
4. Once you are ready to send the fax, press START FAX Black or START FAX  
Color.  
NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax, and then press START FAX Black or  
START FAX Color again.

Send a fax using monitor dialing  
Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the control panel as you would dial a  
regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the dial tones,  
telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the HP Fax. This enables  
you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing.  
TIP: If you do not enter your calling card PIN fast enough, the HP Fax might start  
sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling  
card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN for  
your calling card.  
NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on, or you will not hear a dial tone.  
To send a fax using monitor dialing from the control panel  
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see Load originals.  
2. Press START FAX Black or START FAX Color.

hear a dial tone.  
3. When you hear the dial tone, enter the number by using the keypad on the control  
panel.  
4. Follow any prompts that might occur.  
TIP: If you are using a calling card to send a fax and you have your calling card  
PIN stored as a speed dial, when prompted to enter your PIN, press Speed  
Dial or a one-touch speed dial button to select the speed dial entry where you  
have your PIN stored.  
Your fax is sent when the receiving fax machine answers.  
Send a fax from memory  
You can scan a black-and-white fax into memory and then send the fax from memory.  
This feature is useful if the fax number you are trying to reach is busy or temporarily  
unavailable. The HP Fax scans the originals into memory and sends them once it is able  
to connect to the receiving fax machine. After the HP Fax scans the pages into memory,  
you can immediately remove the originals from the document feeder tray.  
NOTE: You can only send a black-and-white fax from memory.

Change the fax resolution and Lighter/Darker settings  
You can change the Resolution and Lighter / Darker settings for documents that you  
are faxing.  
NOTE: These settings do not affect copy settings. Copy resolution and lightness/  
darkness are set independently from fax resolution and lightness/darkness.  
Change the fax resolution  
The Resolution setting affects the transmission speed and quality of faxed black-and-  
white documents. If the receiving fax machine does not support the resolution you have  
chosen, the HP Fax sends faxes at the highest resolution supported by the receiving fax  
machine.  
NOTE: You can only change the resolution for faxes that you are sending in black  
and white. The HP Fax sends all color faxes using Fine resolution.  
The following resolution settings are available for sending faxes: Fine, Very Fine,  
Photo, and Standard.  
Fine: provides high-quality text suitable for faxing most documents. This is the default  
setting. When sending faxes in color, the HP Fax always uses the Fine setting.  
Very Fine: provides the best quality fax when you are faxing documents with very  
fine detail. If you choose Very Fine, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to  
complete and you can only send black-and-white faxes using this resolution. If you  
send a color fax, it will be sent using Fine resolution instead.  
Photo: provides the best quality fax when sending images/embedded pictures in  
black and white. If you choose Photo, be aware that the faxing process takes longer  
to complete. When faxing images/embedded pictures in black and white, HP  
recommends that you choose Photo.  
Standard: provides the fastest possible fax transmission with the lowest quality.  
When you exit the Fax menu, this option returns to the default setting unless you set your  
changes as the default.

Send a fax in Error Correction Mode  
Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by detecting  
errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the  
erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even be reduced, on good  
phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but  
sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is On. Turn ECM off only if it  
increases phone charges substantially, and you can accept poorer quality in exchange  
for reduced charges.  
Before turning the ECM setting off, consider the following. If you turn ECM off  
The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.  
The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.  
You will no longer be able to send or receive faxes in color.  
To change the ECM setting from the control panel  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Select Advanced Fax Setup and then select Error Correction Mode.  
3. Press to select On or Off.  
4. Press OK.  
Receive a fax  
You can receive faxes automatically or manually. Press the Answer Mode button to  
select the desired mode. If you select Tel mode, you must receive faxes manually. If you  
select FaxTel mode, the HP Fax automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes  
after the number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. If you select  
Fax or AnswerMachine modes, the HP Fax will answer the telephone, automatically  
detect fax tones, and receive a fax. You must have an answering machine connected  
directly to the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of your HP Fax for AnswerMachine mode.  
If you receive a legal-size fax and the HP Fax is not currently set to use legal-size paper,  
the HP Fax reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled  
the Automatic Reduction feature, the HP Fax prints the fax on two pages.  
Receive a fax manually  
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking with can send you a fax while  
you are still connected. This is referred to as manual faxing. Use the instructions in this  
section to receive a manual fax.

a. Press START FAX Black or START FAX Color on the control panel.  
b. When prompted, select Fax Receive.  
c. After the HP Fax begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone or remain  
on the line. The phone line is silent during fax transmission.  
Set up backup fax reception  
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP Fax to  
store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the HP Fax is in an error  
condition, or none of the faxes it receives.  
The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available:  
On  
The default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the HP Fax stores  
all received faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint the most recently  
printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.  
NOTE: When HP Fax memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes  
as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the  
HP Fax stops answering incoming fax calls.  
NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color  
image/embedded picture, it might not be stored in memory due to memory  
limitations.  
On Error Only  
Causes the HP Fax to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists  
that prevents the HP Fax from printing the faxes (for example, if the HP Fax  
runs out of paper). The HP Fax continues to store incoming faxes as long  
as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the HP Fax stops  
answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the  
faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from  
memory.  
Off  
Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn off  
Backup Fax Reception for security purposes. If an error condition occurs  
that prevents the HP Fax from printing (for example, the HP Fax runs out  
of paper), the HP Fax stops answering incoming fax calls.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten as  
new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the HP Fax does not  
receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also  
want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.  
You can reprint the most recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example,

1. Press Setup.  
2. Select Tools, and then select Clear Fax Log.  
NOTE: All faxes stored in memory, including all unprinted or unsent faxes, are  
deleted.  
Poll to receive a fax  
Polling allows the HP Fax to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its queue.  
When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the HP Fax calls the designated fax machine  
and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for polling and have  
a fax ready to send.  
NOTE: The HP Fax does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass codes are a  
security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a pass code to the  
HP Fax it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the HP Fax you are polling  
does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the default pass code) or the  
HP Fax will not be able to receive the fax.

Block junk fax numbers  
If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block specific  
fax numbers so the HP Fax does not print faxes received from those numbers. When an  
incoming fax call is received, the HP Fax compares the number to the list of junk fax  
numbers to determine if the call should be blocked. If the number matches a number in  
the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not printed. (The maximum number of fax numbers  
you can block varies by model.)  
NOTE: This feature is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not supported in  
your country/region, Junk Fax Blocker Set Up does not appear in the Basic Fax  
Setup menu.  
NOTE: If no phone numbers are added in the Caller ID list, it is assumed that the  
user has not signed up for the Caller ID service with the phone company.  
Set the junk fax mode  
By default, Block Junk Fax mode is turned On. If you do not subscribe to a caller ID  
service through your phone provider, or do not want to use this feature, you can turn off  
this setting.

Change fax settings  
After completing the steps in the setup poster that came with the HP Fax, use the following  
steps to change the initial settings or to configure other options for faxing.  
Configure the fax header  
The fax header prints your name and fax number on the top of every fax you send. You  
can set up the fax header from the control panel, as described here.  
NOTE: In some countries/regions, the fax header information is a legal requirement.  
To set or change the fax header  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press Basic Fax Setup, and then press Fax Header.  
3. Enter your personal or company name using the numeric keypad, and then press  
OK.  
4. Enter your fax number by using the numeric keypad, and then press OK.  
Set the number of rings before answering  
You can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are automatically answered.  
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same  
phone line as the HP Fax, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone  
before the HP Fax does. The number of rings to answer for the HP Fax should be greater  
than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.  
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the HP Fax to  
answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by  
country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the HP Fax  
monitors the line. If the HP Fax detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a voice  
call, the answering machine records the incoming message.  
To set the number of rings before answering via the control panel  
1. Press Setup.  
2. Press Basic Fax Setup, and then press Rings to Answer.  
3. Enter the appropriate number of rings by using the keypad, or press or to change  
the number of rings.  
4. Press OK to accept the setting.

Chapter 3  
Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring  
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several  
phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is  
assigned a different ring pattern. You can set up the HP Fax to answer incoming calls  
that have a specific ring pattern.  
If you connect the HP Fax to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company  
assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP  
recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the HP Fax  
detects the specified ring pattern, it answers the call and receives the fax.  
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All  
Rings.  
NOTE: The HP Fax cannot receive faxes when the main phone number is off the  
hook.  
To change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring via the control panel  
1. Verify that the HP Fax is set to answer fax calls automatically.  
2. Press Setup.  
3. Press Advanced Fax Setup, and then press Distinctive Ring.  
4. Press to select an option, and then press OK.  
When the phone rings with the ring pattern assigned to your fax line, the HP Fax  
answers the call and receives the fax.  
Set the fax error correction mode  
Typically, the HP Fax monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or receiving  
a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the error-correction setting  
is on, the HP Fax can request that a portion of the fax be resent.  
Turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and you  
want to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be useful when  
you are trying to send a fax to another country/region or receive a fax from another  
country/region, or if you are using a satellite phone connection.  
To set the fax error-correction mode  
Control panel: Press Fax Menu, open the Advanced Fax Setup menu, and then  
use the Error correction mode option.  
Set the dial type  
Use this procedure to set tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is  
Tone. Do not change the setting unless you know that your phone line cannot use tone  
dialing.  
NOTE: The pulse-dialing option is not available in all countries/regions.

To set the dial type  
Control panel: Press Setup, press Basic Fax Setup, and then use the Tone or  
Pulse Dialing option.  
Set the redial options  
If the HP Fax was unable to send a fax because the receiving fax machine did not answer  
or was busy, the HP Fax attempts to redial based on the settings for the busy-redial and  
no-answer-redial options. Use the following procedure to turn the options on or off.  
Busy redial: If this option is turned on, the HP Fax redials automatically if it receives  
a busy signal. The factory-set default for this option is ON.  
No answer redial: If this option is turned on, the HP Fax redials automatically if the  
receiving fax machine does not answer. The factory-set default for this option is  
OFF.  
To set the redial options  
Control panel: Press Setup, press Advanced Fax Setup, and then use the Busy  
Redial or No Answer Redial options.  
Set the fax speed  
You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your HP Fax and other fax  
machines when sending and receiving faxes. The default fax speed is Fast.  
If you use one of the following, setting the fax speed to a slower speed might be required:  
An Internet phone service  
A PBX system  
Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)  
An integrated services digital network (ISDN) service  
If you experience problems sending and receiving faxes, you might want to try setting the  
Fax Speed setting to Medium or Slow. The following table provides the available fax  
speed settings.

Chapter 3  
Fax over the Internet  
You may subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes  
with your HP Fax by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol  
(FoIP). You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) if you:  
Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or  
Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone  
ports for the fax connection.  
NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port  
labeled "1-LINE" on the HP Fax. This means that your connection to the Internet must  
be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks  
for fax connections) or your telephone company.  
Some Internet faxing services do not work properly when the HP Fax is sending and  
receiving faxes at high speed (v.34, 33600bps). If you experience problems sending and  
receiving faxes while using an Internet fax service, use a slower fax speed. You can do  
this by changing the Fax Speed setting from High (the default) to Medium. For  
information on changing this setting, see Set the fax speed.  
If you have questions about internet faxing, contact your internet faxing services support  
department.  
Cancel a fax  
You can cancel a fax you are sending or receiving at any time.  
To cancel a fax  
Press Cancel on the control panel to stop a fax you are sending or receiving. If the  
HP Fax does not stop faxing, press Cancel again.  
The HP Fax prints any pages it has already started printing and then cancels the  
remainder of the fax. This can take a few moments.  
To cancel a number you are dialing  
Press Cancel to cancel a number you are currently dialing.

Change copy speed or quality  
The HP Fax provides three options that affect copy speed and quality:  
Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping)  
effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the other quality  
settings.  
Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of your  
copying. Normal copies faster than Best and is the default setting.  
Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of  
the Normal setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The Fast setting uses  
less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.

The "Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax" test failed  
Solution:  
Make sure you used the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Fax to connect  
to the telephone wall jack. One end of the phone cord should be connected to the  
port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Fax, and the other end to your telephone  
wall jack. If you do not use the supplied phone cord to connect from the telephone  
wall jack to the HP Fax, you might not be able to send or receive faxes.  
If the phone cord that came with the HP Fax is not long enough, you can use a  
coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler at an electronics store  
that carries phone accessories. You will also need another phone cord, which can  
be a standard phone cord that you might already have in your home or office.  
Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the HP Fax to make  
sure the phone cord is secure.  
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a  
two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter  
and connecting the HP Fax directly to the telephone wall jack.  
The "Dial Tone Detection" test failed  
Solution:  
Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the HP Fax, might be  
causing the test to fail. To find out if other equipment is causing a problem,  
disconnect the other equipment from the phone line, and then run the test again.  
If the Dial Tone Detection Test passes without the other equipment, then one  
or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one  
at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece of  
equipment is causing the problem.  
Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that  
you are using for the HP Fax and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial  
tone, contact your telephone company and have them check the line.  
Make sure you have correctly connected the HP Fax to the telephone wall jack.  
Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Fax, connect one end to  
your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE  
on the back of the HP Fax. If you do not use the supplied phone cord to connect  
from the telephone wall jack to the HP Fax, you might not be able to send or  
receive faxes.  
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a  
two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter  
and connecting the HP Fax directly to the telephone wall jack.  
If your telephone system is not using a standard dial tone, such as some PBX  
systems, this might cause the test to fail. This will not cause a problem sending  
or receiving faxes. Try sending or receiving a test fax.

Check to make sure the country/region setting is set appropriately for your  
country/region. If the country/region setting is not set or is set incorrectly, the test  
might fail and you might have problems sending and receiving faxes.  
Make sure you connect the HP Fax to an analog phone line or you will not be able  
to send or receive faxes. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular  
analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal  
sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones. Connect the  
HP Fax to an analog phone line and try sending or receiving a fax.  
The "Fax Line Condition" test failed  
Solution:  
Make sure you connect the HP Fax to an analog phone line or you will not be able  
to send or receive faxes. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular  
analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal

or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back  
one at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece  
of equipment is causing the problem.  
If the Fax Line Condition Test fails without the other equipment, connect the  
HP Fax to a working phone line and continue reviewing the troubleshooting  
information in this section.  
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a  
two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter

Print cartridges  
You can find the cartridge number on the label of the print cartridge you are replacing.  
The HP Fax uses the following print cartridges:  
HP 21 black inkjet print cartridge  
HP 22 tri-color inkjet print cartridge  
HP 54 black inkjet print cartridge  
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different  
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the HP Fax and cartridges  
for printing. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For  
more information see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.  
NOTE: Ordering print cartridges online is not supported in all countries/regions. If it  
is not supported in your country/region, contact a local HP reseller for information  
about purchasing print cartridges.

Align the print cartridges  
The HP Fax prompts you to align cartridges every time you install or replace a print  
cartridge. You can also align the print cartridges at any time from the control panel.  
Aligning the print cartridges ensures high-quality output.  
NOTE: If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP Fax will not  
prompt you to align the print cartridges. It remembers the alignment values for that  
print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.  
To align the print cartridges from the control panel when prompted  
1. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray,  
and then press OK. The HP Fax prints a test page.  
2. Load the test page print side down in the ADF, and press OK. Recycle or discard the  
page after the alignment is completed.  
NOTE: If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the print  
cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper into the input  
tray, and then try the alignment again.  
If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor or print cartridge.  
Contact HP Support. Go to www.hp.com/support. If prompted, choose your  
country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical  
support.  
To align the cartridges from the control panel at any time  
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.  
2. Press Setup.  
3. Select Tools and then select Align Print Cartridge. The HP Fax prints a test page.  
4. Load the test page print side down in the ADF, and press OK. Recycle or discard the  
page after the alignment is completed.

Use this feature when there is streaking, white lines through any of the lines of color or  
when a color is muddy after installing a print cartridge for the first time.  
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different  
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the HP Fax and cartridges  
for printing. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For  
more information see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.

Clean the print cartridge contacts  
Clean the print cartridge contacts only if you get repeated messages on the display  
prompting you to check a print cartridge after you already have cleaned or aligned the  
print cartridges.  
Before cleaning the print cartridge contacts, remove the print cartridge and verify that  
nothing is covering the print cartridge contacts, then reinstall the print cartridge. If you  
continue to get messages to check the print cartridges, clean the print cartridge contacts.  
Make sure you have the following materials available:  
Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or  
leave fibers.  
TIP: Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning print cartridges.  
Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can  
damage the print cartridges).  
CAUTION: Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the print cartridge  
contacts. These can damage the print cartridge or the HP Fax.  
To clean the print cartridge contacts  
1. Plug in the HP Fax and open the print cartridge door.  
The print carriage moves to the far right side of the HP Fax.  
2. Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then unplug the power cord from

Clean the area around the ink nozzles  
If the HP Fax is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might accumulate  
inside the HP Fax. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers. When  
debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges on printed pages.  
Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles as described here.  
NOTE: Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks  
and smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the print  
cartridges by using the control panel.  
Make sure you have the following materials available:  
Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or  
leave fibers.  
TIP: Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning print cartridges.

extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a  
computer dial-up modem to send e-mail or access the  
Internet.  
The HP Fax is having problems  
sending and receiving faxes  
Make sure the HP Fax is plugged in. Look at the display  
on the HP Fax. If the display is blank the HP Fax is  
unplugged. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected  
to the HP Fax and plugged into a power outlet.  
After plugging in the power cord, HP recommends you  
wait five minutes before sending or receiving a fax. The  
HP Fax cannot send or receive faxes while it is initializing  
after being plugged in.  
Check to see if another process has caused an error.  
Check the display for an error message providing  
information about the problem and how to solve it. If  
there is an error, the HP Fax will not send or receive  
a fax until the error condition is resolved.  
The phone line connection might be noisy. Phone  
lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing  
problems. Check the sound quality of the phone line  
by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and  
listening for static or other noise. If you hear noise,  
turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing  
again. For information about changing ECM, see  
persists, contact your telephone company.  
If you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service,  
make sure that you have a DSL filter connected or  
you will not be able to fax successfully.  
If you are using either a private branch exchange  
(PBX) or an integrated services digital network  
(ISDN) converter/terminal adapter, make sure the HP  
Fax is connected to the correct port and the terminal  
adapter is set to the correct switch type for your  
country/region, if possible.  
If the HP Fax shares the same phone line with a DSL  
service, the DSL modem might not be properly  
grounded. If the DSL modem is not properly  
grounded, it can create noise on the phone line.  
Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can  
cause faxing problems. You can check the sound  
quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the  
telephone wall jack and listening for static or other  
noise. If you hear noise, turn off your DSL modem and  
completely remove power for at least 15 minutes.  
Turn the DSL modem back on and listen to the dial  
tone again.  
NOTE: You might notice static on the phone line  
again in the future. If the HP Fax stops sending and  
receiving faxes, repeat this process.  
If the phone line is still noisy, contact your telephone  
company. For information on turning your DSL  
modem off, contact your DSL provider for support.

Problem  
Possible solution  
The HP Fax is having problems  
sending a manual fax  
NOTE: This possible solution applies only in the  
countries/regions that receive a 2-wire phone cord in the  
box with the HP Fax, including: Argentina, Australia,  
Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Greece, India,  
Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latin America,  
Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia,  
Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, USA,  
Venezuela, and Vietnam.  
Make sure the telephone you use to initiate the fax  
call is connected directly to the HP Fax. To send a fax  
manually, the telephone must be connected directly  
to the port labeled 2-EXT on the HP Fax.  
If you are sending a fax manually from your phone  
that is connected directly to the HP Fax, you must use  
the keypad on the telephone to send the fax. You  
cannot use the keypad on the control panel of the HP  
Fax.  
NOTE: If using a serial-type phone system, please  
connect your phone directly on top of the HP Fax  
cable which has a wall plug attached to it.  
The HP Fax cannot receive faxes, but If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to

make sure that the Distinctive Ring feature on the HP  
Fax is set to All Rings. For more information, see Change  
If you select Tel mode, you will need to receive faxes  
manually; otherwise, the HP Fax will not receive the fax.  
For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive  
If you have a voice mail service at the same phone  
number you use for fax calls, you must receive faxes  
manually, not automatically. This means that you must be  
available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you  
want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your  
telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring  
service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.  
If you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone  
line with the HP Fax, check to make sure that the software  
that came with your modem is not set to receive faxes  
automatically. Modems that are set up to receive faxes  
automatically take over the phone line to receive all  
incoming faxes, which prevents the HP Fax from receiving  
fax calls.

Problem  
Possible solution  
If you have an answering machine on the same phone line  
with the HP Fax, you might have one of the following  
problems:  
Your answering machine might not be set up properly  
with the HP Fax.  
Your outgoing message might be too long or too loud  
to allow the HP Fax to detect fax tones, and the  
sending fax machine might disconnect.  
Your answering machine might not have enough  
quiet time after your outgoing message to allow the  
HP Fax to detect fax tones. This problem is most  
common with digital answering machines.  
The following actions might help solve these problems:  
When you have an answering machine on the same  
phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the  
answering machine directly to the port labeled 2-EXT  
on the back of the HP Fax.  
Make sure the HP Fax is set to receive faxes  
automatically. For information on setting up the HP  
Fax to receive faxes automatically, see Receive a  
fax.  
Make sure the Rings to Answer setting is set to a  
greater number of rings than the answering machine.  
For more information, see Set the number of rings  
Disconnect the answering machine and then try  
receiving a fax. If faxing is successful without the  
answering machine, the answering machine might be  
causing the problem.  
Reconnect the answering machine and record your  
outgoing message again. Record a message that is  
approximately 10 seconds in duration. Speak slowly  
and at a low volume when recording your message.  
Leave at least 5 seconds of silence at the end of the  
voice message. There should be no background  
noise when recording this silent time. Try to receive  
a fax again.  
NOTE: Some digital answering machines might not  
retain the recorded silence at the end of your outgoing  
message. Play back your outgoing message to  
check.  
If the HP Fax shares the same phone line with other types  
of phone equipment, such as an answering machine, a  
computer dial-up modem, or a multi-port switch box, the  
fax signal level might be reduced. The signal level can  
also be reduced if you use a splitter or connect extra  
cables to extend the length of your phone. A reduced fax  
signal can cause problems during fax reception.  
If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone  
number (using a distinctive ring service through your  
telephone company), make sure that the Distinctive  
Ring feature on the HP Fax is set to match. For more

Problem  
Possible solution  
The HP Fax cannot send faxes, but  
can receive faxes  
The HP Fax might be dialing too fast or too soon. You  
might need to insert some pauses in the number  
sequence. For example, if you need to access an outside  
line before dialing the phone number, insert a pause  
following the access number. If your number is 95555555,  
and 9 accesses an outside line, you might insert pauses  
as follows: 9-555-5555. To enter a pause in the fax  
number you are typing, press Redial/Pause, or press the  
Symbols button repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on  
the display.  
You can also send the fax using monitor dialing. This  
enables you to listen to the phone line as you dial. You  
can set the pace of your dialing and respond to prompts  
as you dial. For more information, see Send a fax using  
The number you entered when sending the fax is not in  
the proper format or the receiving fax machine is having  
problems. To check this, try calling the fax number from  
a telephone and listen for fax tones. If you cannot hear fax  
tones, the receiving fax machine might not be turned on  
or connected, or a voice mail service could be interfering  
with the recipient's phone line. You can also ask the  
recipient to check the receiving fax machine for any  
problems.  
Fax tones are recorded on my  
answering machine  
When you have an answering machine on the same  
phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the  
answering machine directly to the port labeled 2-EXT on  
the back of the HP Fax. If you do not connect the  
answering machine as recommended, fax tones might be  
recorded on your answering machine.  
Make sure the HP Fax is set to receive faxes automatically  
and that the Rings to Answer setting is correct. The  
number of rings to answer for the HP Fax should be  
greater than the number of rings to answer for the  
answering machine. If the answering machine and the HP  
Fax are set to the same number of rings to answer, both  
devices answer the call and fax tones are recorded on the  
answering machine.  
Set your answering machine to a low number of rings and  
the HP Fax to answer in the maximum number of rings  
supported. (The maximum number of rings varies by  
country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine  
answers the call and the HP Fax monitors the line. If the  
HP Fax detects fax tones, the HP Fax receives the fax. If  
the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the  
incoming message. For more information, see Set the

cord, which can be a standard phone cord that you might  
already have in your home or office.

Clear paper jams  
If the paper was loaded in the input tray, you might need to clear the paper jam from the  
rear door.  
Paper can also jam in the automatic document feeder. Several common actions can  
cause paper to jam the automatic document feeder:  
Placing too much paper in the document feeder tray.  
Using paper that is too thick or too thin for the HP Fax.  
Trying to add paper to the document feeder tray while the HP Fax is feeding pages.  
To clear a paper jam from the rear door  
1. Unplug the power cord.  
2. Press in the tab on the left side of the rear door to release the door. Remove the door  
by pulling it away from the HP Fax.

Notice to users of the U.S. telephone network: FCC requirements  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.  
On the back of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier  
in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone  
company.  
The HP 3100 Fax series is provided with a RJ11C connector for connecting this product to the  
telephone network. An additional RJ11C connector is provided for connecting an additional device  
to the telephone network from the HP 3100 Fax series.  
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must  
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant  
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a  
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.  
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.  
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming  
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the  
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the  
local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part  
of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are  
the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately  
shown on the label.  
If the HP 3100 Fax series causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify  
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't  
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be  
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.  
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures  
that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide  
advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.  
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the HP 3100 Fax series. If trouble is experienced  
with the HP 3100 Fax series, for repair or warranty information, please contact Hewlett-Packard  
technical support by calling 866-331-9600. If you have Internet access, you can go to www.hp.com/  
support for more information on the HP 3100 Fax series.  
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that  
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.  
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,  
public service commission or corporation commission for information.  
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the  
installation of HP 3100 Fax series does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions  
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.  
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.  
HP recommends the use of a Surge Suppressor when connecting the HP 3100 Fax series to AC  
power. Use of a Surge Suppressor will help protect the HP 3100 Fax series and the telephone  
network from abnormal surges on the AC powerline.
