photo editing features instead of the standard set that is included on the full
installation of HP Image Zone.
Any mention of the HP Image Zone software in this guide and in the onscreen
HP Image Zone Help refers to both versions of HP Image Zone unless
otherwise noted.
You can quickly and easily expand the functionality of your HP All-in-One by using the
HP Image Zone software. Look for boxes like this throughout the guide that provide
topic-specific tips and helpful information for your projects.
Access to the HP Image Zone software differs by operating system (OS). For
example, if you have a Windows computer, the HP Image Zone software entry point
is the HP Solution Center. If you have a Mac, the HP Image Zone software entry
point is the HP Image Zone window. Regardless, the entry point serves as the
launching pad for the HP Image Zone software and services.
To open the HP Image Zone software on a Windows computer
1. Do one of the following:
–
–
On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Solution Center icon.
In the system tray at the far right of the Windows taskbar, double-click the
HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon.
–
On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, select HP,
and then click HP Solution Center.
2. If you have more than one HP device installed, select the HP All-in-One tab.
Note On a Windows computer, the features available in the HP Solution
Center vary depending on the devices you have installed. The HP Solution
Center is customized to display icons associated with the selected device. If
the selected device is not equipped with a particular feature, then the icon for
that feature does not display in the HP Solution Center.
Tip If the HP Solution Center on your computer does not contain any icons,
an error might have occurred during the software installation. To correct this,
use the Control Panel in Windows to completely uninstall the HP Image Zone
software; then reinstall the software. For more information, see the Setup
Guide that came with your HP All-in-One.
To open the HP Image Zone software on a Mac
➔
Click the HP Image Zone icon in the Dock, and then choose a device.
The HP Image Zone window appears.
Note On a Mac, the features available in the HP Image Zone software
vary depending on the chosen device.

●
Search
The Search tab enables you to search the entire Help system for specific words,
such as "borderless print".
Tip If any of the words you are entering are fairly common (such as
"print", in the "borderless print" example), you might want to place
quotation marks around the combination of words for which you are
searching. This limits your search so that the results are more relevant to
the information you need. Instead of returning all topics that contain either
the word "borderless" or the word "print", the search will only return topics
that contain the phrase "borderless print".
After entering your search criteria, click List
Topics to view all the Help topics that contain
the words or phrases you entered. The results
are listed in a three-column table. Each row
contains the topic Title, the Location in the Help
where the topic is contained, and the Rank,
assigned based on its relevance to your search
criteria.
By default, the results are sorted by Rank, so that the topic containing the most
instances of your search criteria is at the top of the list. You can also sort the
results by the topic's Title or Location, by clicking the table heading for that
column. To view the contents of a topic, double-click that row in the results table.
The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.

top right side of the page. If these words are visible, it means there is additional
information hidden on the page. The hidden information is indicated by dark blue
text with an arrow. You can view the hidden information by clicking the dark blue
text.
Some topics include animated videos that show you how to use a particular

Fax setup
After completing all the steps in the Setup Guide, use the instructions in this section to
complete your fax setup. Please keep your Setup Guide for later use.
In this section, you will learn how to set up your HP All-in-One so that faxing works
successfully with equipment and services you might already have on the same phone
line as your HP All-in-One.
Tip You can also use the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or Fax Setup Utility
(Mac) to help you quickly set up some important fax settings such as the
answer mode and fax header information. You can access the Fax Setup
Wizard (Windows) or Fax Setup Utility (Mac) through the HP Image Zone

software. After you run the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or Fax Setup Utility
(Mac), follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.
Set up the HP All-in-One for faxing
Before you begin setting up your HP All-in-One for faxing, determine which kind of
phone system your country/region uses. The instructions for setting up your HP All-in-
One for faxing 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 your HP All-in-One.
Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.
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 All-in-One.
●
Note If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use
the 2-wire phone cord supplied with your HP All-in-One to connect the
HP All-in-One to the telephone wall jack.

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check
with your telephone company.
Choose the right fax setup for your home or office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any)
share the same phone line with your HP All-in-One. This is important because you
might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to your HP All-

in-One, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax
successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP All-in-One in your home or office, first
read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the
table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your
answers.
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.
1. Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone
company? (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
❑
❑
Yes, I have DSL.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up your HP All-in-One with
DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
2. Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated
services digital network (ISDN) system?
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up your HP All-in-One with
a PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering
questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
3. Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company
that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?
❑
❑
Yes, I have distinctive ring.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring
service on the same line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
Are you unsure if you have 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 phone number will have a different ring
pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the
different numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your
voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This
allows you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.
4. Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on
your HP All-in-One?
❑
❑
Yes, I receive voice calls.
No.
Please continue answering questions.
5. Do you have a computer modem on the same phone line as your HP All-in-One?
❑
❑
Yes, I have a computer modem.
No.
20

programs through a dial-up connection?
Do you send and receive e-mail messages on your computer through a dial-
up connection?
Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection?
Please continue answering questions.
6. Do you have an answering machine that answers voice calls at the same phone
number you will use for fax calls on your HP All-in-One?
❑
❑
Yes, I have an answering machine.
No.
Please continue answering questions.
7. Do you subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company at the
same phone number you will use for fax calls on your HP All-in-One?
❑
❑
Yes, I have a voice mail service.
No.
After you have completed answering the questions, proceed to the next section to
select your fax setup case.
Select your fax setup case

When the phone rings, your HP All-in-One will answer automatically after the number
of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax
reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
Case B: Set up your HP All-in-One with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in
this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and your HP All-in-
One. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with your HP All-in-
One, so the HP All-in-One can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might
be called ADSL in your country/region.)
Note If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will
not be able to send and receive faxes with your HP All-in-One.

guidelines.
Case C: Set up your HP All-in-One with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter,
make sure you do the following:
●
If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the
HP All-in-One to the port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make
sure that the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/
region, if possible.
Note Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific
phone equipment. For example, you might have assigned one port for
telephone and Group 3 fax and another port for multiple purposes. If you
have problems when connected to the fax/phone port of your ISDN
converter, try using the port designated for multiple purposes; it might be
labeled "multi-combi" or something similar.
●
If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to "off".
Note Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to
"on" by default. The call waiting tone will interfere with any fax
transmission, and you will not be able to send or receive faxes with your
HP All-in-One. Refer to the documentation that came with your PBX
phone system for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting tone.
●
●
If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before
dialing the fax number.
Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to
your HP All-in-One. If you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This
special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in
your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see The phone cord
that came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough for information on extending it.
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that
allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different
ring pattern, set up your HP All-in-One as described in this section.

If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel
splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11
port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2-line phone

To set up your HP All-in-One to a computer with two phone ports
1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP All-
in-One.
2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your
computer modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the
telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your
HP All-in-One.
3. Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to
the "OUT" port on the back of your computer modem.
This allows a direct connection between the HP All-in-One and your answering
machine, even though the computer modem is connected first in line.
Note If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax
tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering
machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with your HP All-in-
One.

enough for information on extending it.
5. (Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for
convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering
machine at the "OUT" port.
Note If your answering machine does not let you connect an external
phone, you can purchase and use a parallel splitter (also known as a
coupler) to connect both the answering machine and telephone to your
HP All-in-One. You can use standard phone cords for these connections.
6. If your computer modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer
automatically, turn off that setting.
Note If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your
computer modem software, your HP All-in-One will not be able to receive
faxes.
7. Set the Auto Answer setting to On.
8. Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.
9. Change the Rings to Answer setting on your HP All-in-One to the maximum
number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies
by country/region.)
For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings
you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP All-in-One monitors the
call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the
HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax
tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can
record a voice message.
Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a
computer modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service
through your telephone company, set up your HP All-in-One as described in this
section.
Note You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service
at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes
manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming
fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your
telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a
separate phone line for faxing.
Since your computer modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will
not be able to use both your computer modem and your HP All-in-One
36
HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP All-in-One for faxing if you are
using your computer modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
There are two different ways to set up your HP All-in-One with your computer based
on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your
computer to see if it has one or two phone ports.
●
If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel
splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11
port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2-line phone
splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the
front and a plug on the back.) For additional details, see the 5600 series

Change the answer ring pattern (distinctive ringing)
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have
several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each
number will have a different ring pattern. You can set up your HP All-in-One to answer
incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect your HP All-in-One to a line with distinctive ringing, 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 All-in-One detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the call and
receive the fax.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All
Rings.

One answers the call and receives the fax.
Set the number of rings before answering
If you set the Auto Answer setting to On, you can specify how many rings should
occur before your HP All-in-One automatically answers the incoming call.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the
same phone line as your HP All-in-One, because you want the answering machine to
answer the phone before the HP All-in-One does. The number of rings to answer for
the HP All-in-One should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the
answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to answer in four rings or fewer and your
HP All-in-One to answer in the maximum number of rings supported by your device.
(The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering
machine will answer the call and the HP All-in-One will monitor the line. If the HP All-

The HP All-in-One enables you to produce high-quality color and black-and-white
copies on a variety of paper types, including transparencies. You can enlarge or
reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the darkness of the
copy, and use special features to make high-quality copies of photos, including
borderless copies.
This chapter provides instructions for increasing copy speed, enhancing copy quality,
setting the number of copies to print, and guidelines for choosing the best paper type
and size for your job.
Tip For the best copy performance on standard copy projects, set the paper
size to Letter or A4, the paper type to Plain Paper, and the copy quality to Fast.
This User Guide provides just a sampling of the copy features available to help you
get started using your HP All-in-One to make copies. Explore the onscreen HP Image
Zone Help that came with your HP All-in-One software for information on all of the
copy settings that your HP All-in-One supports. For example, the onscreen HP Image
Zone Help provides information on copying multiple-page documents, enhancing light
areas of your copy, and more. For more information on the HP Image Zone Help, see

This chapter contains information on scanning to an application on your computer or
to an HP Instant Share destination.
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
your computer. You can scan almost anything (photos, magazine articles and text
documents), as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass on your HP All-in-One.
Note On a Mac, you can change the HP Scan Pro default scan settings. For
more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
Scan an image
You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP All-in-One. This section
explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.
For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize,
rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that
came with your software.
To use the scan features, your HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a
Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows
system tray. On a Mac, the HP All-in-One software is always running.
Note Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system
tray can cause your HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan functionality and
result in the No Connection error message. If this happens, you can restore
full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the HP Image Zone
software.
Scan an original to a computer
You can scan originals placed on the glass directly from the control panel, or from the
document feeder tray.

Edit a scanned document
Scanning text (also known as optical character recognition or OCR) enables you to
bring the content of magazine articles, books, and other printed matter into your
favorite word processor and many other programs as fully editable text. Learning to do
OCR right is important if you want to obtain the best results. Do not expect scanned
text documents to be letter-perfect the first time you use your OCR software. Using
OCR software is an art that takes time and practice to master. For more information
about scanning documents, especially documents containing both text and graphics,
see the documentation that came with your OCR software.

Send a fax manually from a phone
You can initiate a fax call from a telephone on the same phone line as your HP All-in-
One if you are more comfortable using the keypad on your phone, rather than using
the keypad on the control panel of your HP All-in-One. This method of sending a fax is
called manually sending a fax. 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, you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the
fax tones from the receiving fax machine.

The telephone line is silent while the fax is transmitting. At this point, you can
hang up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient,
remain on the line until the fax transmission is complete.
Send a fax using monitor dialing
Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the 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 your HP All-in-
One. This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace
of your dialing.
Tip If you want to use monitor dialing to send a fax with a calling card, HP
recommends you create a speed dial entry to store the personal identification
number (PIN) for your calling card. If you do not store the PIN in a speed dial
entry, you might not be able to enter the PIN fast enough. The HP All-in-One
might begin transmitting fax tones before you are able to finish entering your
PIN, and the call will fail.

The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available: On, On Error Only, and
Off.
●
On is the default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the HP All-in-One
stores all faxes it receives in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of
the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory. For more
Note After the memory becomes full, the HP All-in-One overwrites the
oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full
of unprinted faxes, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
●
●
On Error Only causes the HP All-in-One to store faxes in memory only if there is
an error condition that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing the faxes (for
example, if the HP All-in-One runs out of paper). The HP All-in-One will continue
to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory
becomes full, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.) When the
error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically and are
then deleted from memory.
Off means that faxes are never stored in memory. (You might want to turn off
Backup Fax Reception for security purposes, for example.) If an error condition
occurs that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing (for example, the HP All-in-
One runs out of paper), the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
Note If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and you turn off the HP All-in-
One, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that
you might have received while the HP All-in-One was in an error condition.
You will need to contact the senders to ask them to resend any unprinted
faxes. (For a list of the faxes you have received, print the fax log. The fax log,
containing a list of the numbers from which you have received faxes, is not
deleted when the HP All-in-One is turned off. For more information on the fax
log, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.)

10 Maintain your HP All-in-One
The HP All-in-One requires little maintenance. Sometimes you might want to clean the
glass and lid backing to remove surface dust and ensure that your copies and scans
remain clear. You will also need to replace, align, or clean your print cartridges
occasionally. This chapter provides instructions for keeping your HP All-in-One in top
working condition. Perform these simple maintenance procedures as necessary.
Clean the HP All-in-One
To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, you might need to clean the glass
and lid backing. You might also want to dust the exterior of the HP All-in-One.
Clean the glass
Glass that is dirty from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and dust on the main glass surface
slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Fit to Page.
To clean the glass
1. Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
Note When you unplug the power cord, the date and time are erased.
You will need to reset the date and time later, when you plug the power
stored in memory are also erased.
2. Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive
glass cleaner.
Caution Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon
tetrachloride on the glass, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray
liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and
damage the device.
3. Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
To clean the glass strip inside the automatic document feeder
1. Lift the cover of the automatic document feeder.
2. Raise the lid, as if you were loading an original on the glass.

2. Clean the white document backing with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened
with a mild soap and warm water.
Wash the backing gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub the backing.
3. Dry the backing with a chamois or soft cloth.
Caution Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the
backing.
4. If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing)
alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any
residual alcohol.
Caution Be careful not to spill alcohol on the glass or painted parts of the
HP All-in-One, as this might damage the device.
Clean the exterior
Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off
the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.
Caution To avoid damage to painted parts of the HP All-in-One, do not use
alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the control panel, document
feeder tray, lid, or other painted parts of the device.
Print a self-test report
If you are experiencing problems with printing, print a self-test report before you
replace the print cartridges. This report provides useful information on several aspects
of your device, including your print cartridges.
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
2. Press Setup.
3. Press 2, then press 6.
This selects Print Report and then selects Self-Test Report.
The HP All-in-One prints a self-test report, which might indicate the source of the
printing problem.

If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate a
problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot.
If any of the remaining three lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this
might indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot.
If the color bars do not appear as black, cyan, magenta and yellow, you might
need to clean the print cartridges. For more information, see Clean the print
cartridges. If the problem is not resolved, you might need to replace the print
cartridge. For more information on replacing print cartridges, see Replace the

protector comes in the box with your HP All-in-One. If neither your print cartridge nor
your HP All-in-One came with a print cartridge protector, you can order one from HP
The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it
from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from
the HP All-in-One with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge
protector. For example, store the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector if
you are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color
print cartridges.

cartridges ensures high-quality output.
Note If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One
will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers

If your HP All-in-One shares the same phone line with other types of phone
equipment, such as an answering machine, a computer modem, or multi-port
switch box, the fax signal level might be reduced. This can cause problems
during fax reception.
To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything
except the HP All-in-One from the phone line, and then try to receive a fax. If
you can receive faxes successfully without the other equipment, one or more
pieces of the other equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one
at a time and receiving a fax each time, until you identify which equipment is
causing the problem.

If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using a
distinctive ring service through your telephone company), make sure that the
Answer Ring Pattern feature on your HP All-in-One is set to match. For
The HP All-in-One cannot send faxes, but can receive faxes
Solution
●
The HP All-in-One 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 insert a
pause during dialing, press Redial/Pause, or press the Space (#) button
repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the control panel display.
You can also use monitor dialing to send the fax. 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
Solution
●
When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for
fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the HP All-in-One
recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your answering machine.
Make sure your HP All-in-One is set to receive faxes automatically. If your
HP All-in-One is set up to receive faxes manually, the HP All-in-One will not
answer incoming calls. You must be available to respond in person to
incoming fax calls, or the HP All-in-One will not receive the fax and your
answering machine will record the fax tones. For information on setting up

The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough
Solution If the phone cord that came with your HP All-in-One 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.
Tip If your HP All-in-One came with a 2-wire phone cord adaptor, you
can use it with a 4-wire phone cord to extend the length. For information
on using the 2-wire phone cord adaptor, see the documentation that came
with it.
To extend your phone cord
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in-One, connect
one end to the coupler, then connect the other end to the port labeled "1-
LINE" on the back of your HP All-in-One.
2. Connect another phone cord to the open port on the coupler and to the
telephone wall jack, as shown below.

Paper has jammed the HP All-in-One
Solution
1. Press in the tab on the left side of the rear clean-out door to release the door.
Remove the door by pulling it away from the HP All-in-One.
Caution Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the HP All-in-
One can damage the print mechanism. Always access and clear
paper jams through the rear clean-out door.
2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.
Caution If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers,
check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be
remaining inside the device. If you do not remove all the pieces of
paper from the HP All-in-One, more paper jams are likely to occur.
3. Replace the rear clean-out door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps
into place.

Paper has jammed the automatic document feeder
Solution
1. Lift the cover of the automatic document feeder.
2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.
Caution If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers,
check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be
remaining inside the device. If you do not remove all the pieces of
paper from the HP All-in-One, more paper jams are likely to occur.
3. Close the cover of the automatic document feeder.
The automatic document feeder picks up too many pages or none at all
Cause You need to clean the separator pad or rollers inside the automatic
document feeder. Pencil lead, wax, or ink can build up on the rollers and
separator pad after extensive use, or if you copy handwritten originals or originals
that are heavy with ink.
●
If the automatic document feeder does not pick up any pages at all, the
rollers inside the automatic document feeder need to be cleaned.
If the automatic document feeder picks up multiple pages instead of single
sheets, the separator pad inside the automatic document feeder needs to be
cleaned.
●
Solution Load one or two sheets of unused plain white full-size paper into the
document feeder tray, and then press Start Black to pull the pages through the
automatic document feeder. The plain paper releases and absorbs residue from
the rollers and separator pad.
If the problem persists, or the automatic document feeder does not pick up the
plain paper, you can clean the rollers and separator pad manually.
To clean the rollers or separator pad
1. Lift the cover of the automatic document feeder.
The rollers and separator pad are identified in the following illustration.

2. Lightly dampen a clean lint-free cloth with distilled water, then squeeze any
excess liquid from the cloth.
3. Use the damp cloth to wipe any residue off the rollers or separator pad.
4. If the residue does not come off using distilled water, try using isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol.
5. Close the cover of the automatic document feeder.
Print cartridge troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems with printing, you might have a problem with one of
the print cartridges.
1. Remove the print cartridges and check that the protective tape has been
completely removed.
2. Reinsert the print cartridges and verify that they are fully inserted and locked in
place.
3. If the problem persists, print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem
with the print cartridges.
This report provides useful information about your print cartridges, including
status information.
4. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges.
5. If the problem persists, clean the copper-colored contacts of the print cartridges.
6. If you are still experiencing problems with printing, determine which print cartridge
is experiencing the problem and replace it.

Notice to users of the U.S. telephone network: FCC requirements
This equipment complies with FCC rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label that contains,
among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalent Number (REN)
for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This
equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a
compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. This equipment connects to the telephone
network through the following standard network interface jack: USOC RJ-11C.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on one line
might result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum
of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company 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.

Note à l’attention des utilisateurs du réseau téléphonique Canadien/notice to users
of the Canadian telephone network
Cet appareil est conforme aux spécifications techniques des équipements terminaux d’Industrie
Canada. Le numéro d’enregistrement atteste de la conformité de l’appareil. L’abréviation IC qui
précède le numéro d’enregistrement indique que l’enregistrement a été effectué dans le cadre
d’une Déclaration de conformité stipulant que les spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada
ont été respectées. Néanmoins, cette abréviation ne signifie en aucun cas que l’appareil a été
validé par Industrie Canada.
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs doivent s’assurer que les prises électriques reliées à la
terre de la source d’alimentation, des lignes téléphoniques et du circuit métallique d’alimentation
en eau sont, le cas échéant, branchées les unes aux autres. Cette précaution est
particulièrement importante dans les zones rurales.
Le numéro REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) attribué à chaque appareil terminal fournit une
indication sur le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être connectés à une interface
téléphonique. La terminaison d’une interface peut se composer de n’importe quelle combinaison
d’appareils, à condition que le total des numéros REN ne dépasse pas 5.
Basé sur les résultats de tests FCC Partie 68, le numéro REN de ce produit est 0.1B.
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical
Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation IC before the
registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of
Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply
that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution might be particularly important in rural areas.
Note The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a
telephone interface. The termination on an interface might consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed 5.
The REN for this product is 0.1B, based on FCC Part 68 test results.
Notice to users in the European Economic Area
This product is designed to be connected to the analog Switched Telecommunication Networks
(PSTN) of the European Economic Area (EEA) countries/regions.
Network compatibility depends on customer selected settings, which must be reset to use the
equipment on a telephone network in a country/region other than where the product was
purchased. Contact the vendor or Hewlett-Packard Company if additional product support is
necessary.
This equipment has been certified by the manufacturer in accordance with Directive 1999/5/EC
(annex II) for Pan-European single-terminal connection to the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different
countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful
operation on every PSTN network termination point.
