Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.
NOTE:
For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or refilled toner cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.

Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP toner cartridge and the control-panel message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.
Your toner cartridge might not be a genuine HP toner cartridge if you notice the following:
●
The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.
●
You are experiencing a high number of problems with the cartridge.
●
The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from

Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you replace the cartridge.
●
Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) and prompt you to replace the cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing.
●
Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, but to continue printing.
NOTE:
Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer interaction and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
NOTE:
To avoid damage to the product, when the toner-collection unit is full, the product stops printing.
If you select the Stop or Prompt to continue option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very
Low threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.
When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the product is waiting.
The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the
Continue option for color and black cartridges, but print quality might degrade.

Color printing
Use the HP EasyColor option
If you are using the HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically improves mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Office programs. This technology scans documents and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format. The
HP EasyColor technology enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several pieces, which results in improved color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.
If you are using the HP Postscript print driver for Mac, the HP EasyColor technology scans all documents and automatically adjusts all photographic images with the same improved photographic results.
In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option.
The images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.
The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in the print driver, so you do not need to make manual color adjustments. To disable the option so you can manually adjust the color settings, open the
Color tab in the Windows driver or the Color/Quality Options tab in the Mac driver, and then click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it.

Manual color options
Use manual color options to adjust the Neutral Grays, Halftone, and Edge Control options for text, graphics, and photographs.
Setting description
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines the rendering of edges. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.
Halftone
Halftone options affect color output clarity and resolution.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.
Setting options
●
Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
●
Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are important.
●
Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp edges and small details are important.
●
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs.
●
4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.
Match colors
The process of matching product output color to a computer screen is quite complex because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence the ability to match printed colors to those on a monitor. These factors include:
●
Paper
●
Printer colorants (inks or toners for example)
108 Chapter 5 Print ENWW
●
Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology for example)
●
Overhead lighting
●
Personal differences in perception of color
●
Software programs
●
Print drivers
●
Computer operating system
●
Monitors and monitor settings
●
Video cards and drivers
●
Operating environment (humidity for example)
For most situations, the best method for matching colors on the screen to the printed page is to print sRGB colors.
Sample book color matching
The process for matching product output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to create the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as process color sample books.
Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many of these spot colors are outside of the range of the product. Most spot color sample books have companion process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.
Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book. In most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process sample book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the product menu. If you cannot identify the process standard, use SWOP ink emulation.
Print color samples
To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use the sample’s color value in the software program to describe the object you wish to match. Printed colors vary depending on the paper type and the software program.
Use the following procedure to print color samples at the product using the control panel:
1.
From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the Administration button.
2.
Open the following menus:
●
Reports
●

As a result of this error condition, the fax accessory performs three automatic redial attempts regardless of the redial settings. During this redial operation, a message displays on the control panel to indicate that a redial is in progress.
The Redial on error feature sets the number of times a fax number will be redialed when an error occurs during a fax transmission.
The Redial On Busy setting selects the number of times (0 through 9) the fax accessory redials a number when the number is busy. The interval between retries is set by the Redial Interval setting.
The Redial On No Answer setting selects the number of times the fax accessory redials if the number dialed does not answer. The number of retries is either 0 to 1
(used in the U.S.) or 0 to 2, depending on the country/region setting. The interval between retries is set by the redial interval setting.

Error Correction Mode
Description
When the Fax Number Confirmation feature is enabled, the fax number must be entered twice to ensure that it was entered correctly. The feature is disabled by default.
Use the PC Fax Send feature to send faxes from a PC. This feature is enabled by default.
Use the Fax Header feature to control whether the header is appended to the top, and content is shifted down, or if the header is overlayed on top of the previous header.
Enabling the JBIG Compression feature can reduce phone-call charges by reducing fax transmission time and might be the preferred setting. However, using the JBIG
Compression feature might cause compatibility problems when communicating with some older fax machines, in which case you might need to disable it.
NOTE:
The JBIG Compression feature works only when both the sending and receiving machines have this setting.
Normally, the fax accessory monitors the signals on the telephone line while it is sending or receiving a fax. If the fax accessory detects an error during the transmission and the Error Correction Mode setting is on, the fax accessory can request that the error portion of the fax be sent again.
The Error Correction Mode feature is enabled by default. You should turn it off only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax and if you are willing to accept the errors in the transmission and a probable quality reduction in the image.
Turning off the setting might be useful when you are trying to send a fax overseas or receive one from overseas, or if you are using a satellite telephone connection.
NOTE:
Some VoIP providers might suggest turning off the Error Correction Mode setting. However, this is not usually necessary.

The outgoing fax resolution setting determines the maximum resolution supported by the receiving fax. The fax accessory uses the highest possible resolution common to the sending and receiving fax machines (as limited by this setting).
NOTE:
To reduce phone time, faxes wider than 21.25 cm (8.5 in) are automatically sent by using standard or fine resolution.

4.
Check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life.
The supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low threshold, HP’s premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.
5.
Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the words “HP” or “Hewlett-Packard” on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/ learnaboutsupplies .
Hewlett Packard cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured.
Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. If you are using a refilled or remanufactured toner cartridge and are not satisfied with the print quality, replace the toner cartridge with a genuine HP toner cartridge.

Checklist for solving fax problems
Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter:
●
Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with the supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specifications. Do not substitute another fax cable; the analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.
●
Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the outlet on the fax accessory? Make sure that the phone jack is correctly seated in the outlet. Insert the connector into the outlet until it
"clicks."
●
Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to the wall jack. Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make or receive a phone call?
What type of phone line are you using?
●
Dedicated line: A standard analog fax/phone line assigned to receive or send faxes.
NOTE:
The phone line should be for product fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notifications to a monitoring company.
●
PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax accessory use an analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible with the fax accessory. If you are using the product with a digital PBX system, contact the phone network supplier and ask for an appropriate adapter to convert the digital PBX connection to an analog one.
●
Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line when the first incoming line is busy. Try attaching the product to the first incoming phone line. The fax accessory answers the phone after it rings the number of times set in the rings-to-answer setting.
NOTE:
Roll-over lines can cause problems with receiving faxes. Using roll-over lines with this product is not recommended.
Are you using a surge-protection device?
A surge-protection device can be used between the wall jack and the fax accessory to protect the fax accessory against electrical power passed through the phone lines. These devices can cause some fax communication problems by degrading the quality of the phone signal. If you are having problems sending or receiving faxes and are using one of these devices, connect the product directly to the phone jack on the wall to determine whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.
310 Chapter 10 Solve problems ENWW
Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?
If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the fax accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes. If the rings-to-answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory answers all calls.
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax telephone line.

Use Fax over VoIP networks
VoIP technology converts the analog phone signal into digital bits. These are then assembled into packets which travel on the Internet. The packets are converted and transmitted back to analog signals at or near the destination.
Transmission of information on the Internet is digital instead of analog. Therefore, there are different constraints on the fax transmission that might require different fax settings than the analog Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Fax is very dependent upon timing and signal quality, so a fax transmission is more sensitive to a VoIP environment.
The following are suggested changes in settings for the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory
500 when it is connected to a VoIP service:
●
Begin with the fax speed set in Fast (V.34) mode and with Error Correction Mode (ECM) turned on. The V.34 protocol handles any changes in transmission speed needed to accommodate VoIP networks.
●
If numerous errors or retries occur with the fax speed set to Fast, set it to Medium (V.17).
●
If errors and retries persist, set the fax speed to Slow (V.29) because some VoIP systems cannot handle the higher signal rates associated with fax.
●
In rare cases, if errors persist, turn off ECM on the product. The image quality might decrease.
Ensure that the image quality is acceptable with ECM off before using this setting.
●
If the preceding setting changes have not improved the VoIP fax reliability, contact your VoIP provider for help.

Problems with receiving faxes
Problem
Incoming fax calls are not being answered by the fax accessory (no fax detected).
Faxes are being received very slowly.
Faxes are not printing on the product.
Cause
The rings-to-answer setting might not be set correctly.
Solution
Check the rings-to-answer setting.
The fax cable might not be connected correctly, or the fax cable is not working.
The phone line might not be working.
Check the installation. Make sure you are using the fax cable that came with the product or with the fax accessory.
Disconnect the fax accessory from the phone jack, and then connect a phone.
Try to make a phone call to ensure the phone line is working.
Check the ring-signal configuration on the PBX system.
If you are using a PBX system, the ring signals might not be configured correctly.
A voice-messaging service might be interfering with incoming faxes.
Do one of the following:
●
Use a phone line dedicated to fax calls.
●
Decrease the rings-to-answer for the fax accessory to a number less than the rings-to-answer for the voice mail.
Complex faxes take longer to transmit.

Problem Cause Solution
The product is either low on toner or has run out of toner.
The incoming call might be a voice call.
Incoming voice calls usually show up in the call report as a No Fax Detected error. Because these are voice calls and not a fax error, no action is necessary.
The incoming fax was interrupted.
If configured, the product stops printing as soon as it is low on toner or runs out of toner. Any faxes received are stored in memory and print after the toner has been replaced.
Verify that the fax telephone line does not have an activated call-waiting feature. A call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error.

Problems with sending faxes
Problem
Faxes are transmitting very slowly.
Faxes quit during sending.
The fax accessory is receiving faxes but is not sending them.
Cause
You might be sending a complex fax, such as one with many graphics.
The receiving fax machine might have a slow modem speed.
If the fax accessory is on a PBX system, the PBX system might be generating a dial tone the fax accessory cannot detect.
There might be a poor phone connection.
The receiving fax machine might be malfunctioning.
The phone line might not be working.
Solution
Complex faxes take longer to transmit.
The resolution at which the fax was sent or is being received is very high. A higher resolution typically results in better quality, but also requires a longer transmission time.
If there is a poor phone-line connection, the fax accessory and the receiving fax machine slow down the transmission to adjust for errors.
The document might have a gray background, which can increase fax transmission time.
The receiving fax machine might be malfunctioning.
The phone line might not be working.
The phone line might be noisy or poor quality.
A call-waiting feature might be active.
The fax accessory only sends the fax at the fastest modem speed the receiving fax machine can use. Wait for the fax transmission to complete.
Decrease the resolution and change the
Optimize Text/Picture option.
Cancel and resend the fax. Ask the phone company to check the phone line.
Use the Image Adjustment feature to clean up the background shading.
Try sending to another fax machine.
Disconnect the fax accessory from the phone jack, and connect a phone. Try to make a phone call to ensure the phone line is working.
Try using a slower fax speed to improve the reliability of transmission. Use the
Fax Dialing Settings menu to set the fax speed for sending faxes.
Verify that the fax telephone line does not have an activated call-waiting feature. A call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error.
Disable the detect-dial-tone setting.
Try again later.
Try sending to another fax machine.
Disconnect the fax accessory from the phone jack, and connect a phone. Try to make a phone call to ensure the phone line is working.

Problem
Outgoing fax calls keep dialing.
Faxes you send are not arriving at the receiving fax machine.
Cause
The fax accessory automatically redials a fax number if the Redial On Busy option is on or if the Redial On No
Answer option is on.
The receiving fax machine might be turned off or might have an error condition, such as being out of paper.
A fax might be in memory because it is waiting to redial a busy number, or there are other jobs ahead of it waiting to be sent.
Solution
This is normal operation. If you do not want the fax to retry, set the Redial On
Busy option to 0, set the Redial On No
Answer option to 0, and set the Redial on error option to 0.
Ask the recipient to make sure the fax machine is turned on and ready to receive faxes.
If a fax job is in memory for either of these reasons, an entry for the job displays in the fax log. Print the fax activity log, and check the Result column for jobs with a Pending designation.
Fax error messages on the product control panel
If the fax process is interrupted or an error occurs during a fax transmission or reception, a two-part status/error description is generated by the fax subsystem on the product. Normal or successful faxes also generate messages indicating success. The message information consists of a text description and a numeric code (a few messages do not include numeric codes). Only the text part of the message is displayed on the product control panel; however, both the text message and numeric code are listed in the Fax Activity Report, Fax Call Report, and the Fax T.30 Trace. The numeric code is shown in parentheses after the text part of the message in the reports.
The fax modem generates the numeric code. Usually a numeric code of (0) indicates a normal modem response. Some messages always display a numeric code of (0), other messages can have a range of numeric codes, and a few messages have no numeric code. Usually a numeric code of (0) indicates an error was not associated with the fax modem, but occurred in another part of the fax system or other product sytem such as the printing system. Non-zero error codes give further detail into the particular action or process that the modem is executing, and they do not necessarily indicate that there is a problem with the modem.
Persistent error messages with numeric codes different than those listed here require assistance of customer support. Print a Fax T.30 Trace report before contacting customer support to help identify the problem. This report contains details of the last fax call.

This is a printed report of all the communications between the sending and receiving fax machines for the last Fax transmission or reception. The report contains detailed error codes and other information that might be useful in troubleshooting a particular problem related to sending or receiving a fax. Print this report before contacting HP customer support.
This setting controls the modem's method of transmission. The Normal setting allows the modem to select any of the supported fax speeds up to 33,600 bps. The Off setting sets the fax speed to 14,400 bps or lower, depending on the speed settings for sending and receiving.
In Normal mode, the modem speaker is turned on during dialing, through the initial connection, and then it turns off. In Diagnostic mode, the speaker is turned on and remains on for all fax communications until the setting is returned to Normal mode.
The Standard fax log includes basic information such as the time and whether the fax was successful. The Detailed fax log shows the intermediate results of the redial process not shown in the Standard fax log.
