Introduction
The printer has a feature that enables it to scan a document and send it to one or more email addresses. To
use this scan feature, the printer must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it
has been configured by using the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS). There are two methods in the EWS for
configuring Scan to Email. Use the E-mail Setup page for complete setup, or use the Scan to Email Setup
Wizard for basic setup.
Before you begin
To set up the Scan to Email feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following information before beginning the configuration process.
●
Administrative access to the printer
●
DNS suffix (e.g., companyname.com)
●
SMTP server (e.g., smtp.mycompany.com)
NOTE: If you do not know the SMTP server name, SMTP port number, or authentication information,
contact the email/Internet service provider or system administrator for the information. SMTP server
names and port names are typically easy to find by doing an Internet search. For example, use terms like
"gmail smtp server name" or "yahoo smtp server name" to search.
●
SMTP server authentication requirements for outgoing email messages, including the user name and
password used for authentication, if applicable.
Use the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) to set up the Scan to E-mail feature. Before continuing, use this
procedure to open the EWS, and then set up the Scan to E-mail feature by using one of the two methods

Document File Type
Save a scanned document as one of several types of files.
The following standard file types are available:
●
PDF: This file type provides the best overall image and text quality. PDF files require
Adobe® Acrobat® Reader software for viewing.
●
JPEG: This file type is a good choice for most graphics. Most computers have a browser
that can view .JPEG files. This file type produces one file per page.
●
TIFF: This is a standard file type that many graphics programs support. This file type
produces one file per page.
●
MTIFF: MTIFF stands for multi-page TIFF. This file type saves multiple scanned pages in a
single file.
●
XPS: XPS (XML Paper Specification) creates an XAML file that preserves the original
formatting of the document and supports color graphics and embedded fonts.
●
PDF/A: PDF/A is a type of PDF designed for long-term archival of electronic documents. All
format information in the document is self-contained.
HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP printers also support the following OCR file types:
●
Text (OCR): Text (OCR) creates a text file by using optical character recognition (OCR) to
scan the original. A text file can be opened in any word processing program. The
formatting of the original will not be saved using this option.
●
Unicode Text (OCR): Unicode Text (OCR) is an industry standard used to consistently
represent and manipulate text. This file type is useful for internationalization and
localization.
●
RTF (OCR): RTF (OCR) creates a rich text format (RTF) file by using optical character
recognition (OCR) to scan the original. RTF is an alternative text format that can be
opened by most word processing programs. Some of the formatting of the original will be
saved using this option.
●
Searchable PDF (OCR): Searchable PDF (OCR) creates a searchable PDF file by using optical
character recognition (OCR) to scan the original. When a document is scanned in this way,
use Adobe Acrobat® Reader's search tools to search for specific words or phrases within
the PDF.
●
Searchable PDF/A (OCR): Searchable PDF/A (OCR) is a type of PDF/A file that includes
information about the document structure, which allows content to be searched.
●
HTML (OCR): HTML (OCR) creates a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file containing the
contents of the original document. HTML is used to display files on Web sites.
●
CSV (OCR): CSV (OCR) is common text file format that contains comma-separated values.
This type of file can be opened by most word processing, spreadsheet, or database
programs.

Scan Mode
Standard Document: Scan a page or stack of pages through the document feeder, or
individually on the flatbed glass.
Book Mode: Scan an open book and output each page of the book onto different pages.
2-sided ID Copy: Scan each side of an identification card on the flatbed glass and output them
onto one page. After scanning the first side, the printer prompts to place the second side in the
correct position on the glass.
Resolution
Specify the resolution of scanned images. Select a higher resolution to increase the clarity of
the image. However, as the resolution increases, the file size also increases.
Original Size
Specify the paper size for the original document.
Content Orientation
Specify whether the original document is printed in Portrait or Landscape orientation.
Image Adjustment
Sharpness: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text
appear crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother.
Darkness: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned
images.
Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and the darkest color on the
page.
Background Cleanup: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For
example, if the original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the
background without affecting the darkness of the image.
Automatic Tone: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100
characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it
orients the scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to
the other pages, the resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages
have a landscape orientation, the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the
top of the image.
Optimize Text/Picture
Optimize the job for the type of image being scanned: text, graphics, or photos.
Erase Edges
Remove blemishes, such as dark borders or staple marks, by cleaning the edges of the scanned
image.
Cropping options
Crop to original size: Crop the image to match the paper size of the original document.
Crop to content: Crop the image to the size of the detectable content in the original document.
Blank Page Suppression
Exclude blank pages in the original document from scanned images. This feature is useful for
scanning pages printed on both sides to eliminate blank pages in the resulting scanned
document.
Multi-feed Detection
Enable or disable multi-feed detection. When enabled, scanning stops when the printer detects
more than one page at a time being fed in the document feeder. When disabled, scanning
continues when a multi-feed is detected, to allow scanning pages that are stuck together,
originals with self-adhesive notes on them, or thick paper.
Notification
Select whether to send notifications of the status of scan jobs. The printer can print the
notification, or it can send the notification in an email.

Problems with sending email
●
Make sure the Enable Scan to E-mail check box is checked on the Scan/Digital Send tab on the Scan to
E-mail page.
●
If the feature is enabled, but the printer is still unable to send emails, the SMTP server might not be set
up correctly. The cause could be any of the following reasons:
●
◦
Authentication is required for the server, but no authentication information is sent.
◦
The network address or hostname for the SMTP server is incorrect.
◦
The SMTP server is not accepting email (port 25 is not open).
Check the SMTP server settings to identify the problem.
Check the SMTP server setup
NOTE: This procedure is for Windows operating systems. The following steps show examples of responses
from the server. The text portion of the response can vary from server to server.
1.
Open a Windows command prompt: click Start, click Run, and then enter cmd.
2.
Enter telnet followed by the SMTP gateway hostname and then the number 25, which is the port over
which the printer is communicating. For example, enter telnet example.com 25
3.
Press Enter. If the SMTP gateway hostname is not valid, the response contains the following message:
Could not open connection to the host on port 25: Connect Failed.
4.
If the SMTP gateway hostname is not valid, reconfigure the server.
●
For the email digital-send feature, use the Scan/Digital Sending tab in the embedded Web server
to configure the printer to use a different SMTP server.
If you receive a reply such as 220 smtp.hostname, the SMTP gateway hostname is valid. Continue with
the next step.
82
5.
Identify yourself to the SMTP server. At the prompt, enter HELO followed by your host name. Press
Enter. You should receive a reply.
6.
Attempt to authorize to the SMTP server. At the prompt, enter AUTH. Press Enter.
Chapter 6 Scan
ENWW
7.
If the reply is 503.5.3.3 AUTH not available, then the SMTP server does not require
authentication.
If the reply is 250 AUTH or 334, the SMTP server requires authentication. Use the Scan to E-mail page
on the Scan/Digital Sending tab of the HP Embedded Web Server to configure the correct
authentication information.
8.
Verify that the server recognizes the email account that is sending the message. At the prompt, enter
MAIL FROM: <[email protected]> where “<[email protected]>” is the email address for
testing.
If the response is 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable, then the
server cannot find the mailbox for that address.
If the response is 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox name not allowed,
then the email address is not valid.
9.
Verify that the server has sent the email to the recipient. At the prompt enter RCPT TO:
<[email protected]> where “<[email protected]>” is the email address for the
recipient.
If the response is 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable, then the
server cannot find the mailbox for that address. The recipient email account might be configured so that
it cannot receive messages from the printer.
If the response is 551 User not local: please try <forward-path>, where “<forward-path>” is a different
email address, then the email account is not active.

Problems with sending to a network folder
Introduction
This document explains how to enable and configure the scan to network folder function. The printer has a
feature that enables it to scan a document and save it to a network folder. To use this scan feature, the
printer must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been configured by
using the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS). There are two methods in the EWS for configuring Scan to network
folder. Use the Save to Network Folder Setup page for advanced configuration, or use the Scan to Network
Folder Setup Wizard for basic configuration.
Before you begin
NOTE: To set up the Scan to Network Folder feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the configuration process.

Document File Type
Save a scanned document as one of several types of files.
The following standard file types are available:
●
PDF: This file type provides the best overall image and text quality. PDF files require Adobe®
Acrobat® Reader software for viewing.
●
JPEG: This file type is a good choice for most graphics. Most computers have a browser that can
view .JPEG files. This file type produces one file per page.
●
TIFF: This is a standard file type that many graphics programs support. This file type produces
one file per page.
●
MTIFF: MTIFF stands for multi-page TIFF. This file type saves multiple scanned pages in a single
file.
●
XPS: XPS (XML Paper Specification) creates an XAML file that preserves the original formatting
of the document and supports color graphics and embedded fonts.
●
PDF/A: PDF/A is a type of PDF designed for long-term archival of electronic documents. All
format information in the document is self-contained.
HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP printers also support the following OCR file types:
●
Text (OCR): Text (OCR) creates a text file by using optical character recognition (OCR) to scan
the original. A text file can be opened in any word processing program. The formatting of the
original will not be saved using this option.
●
Unicode Text (OCR): Unicode Text (OCR) is an industry standard used to consistently represent
and manipulate text. This file type is useful for internationalization and localization.
●
RTF (OCR): RTF (OCR) creates a rich text format (RTF) file by using optical character recognition
(OCR) to scan the original. RTF is an alternative text format that can be opened by most word
processing programs. Some of the formatting of the original will be saved using this option.
●
Searchable PDF (OCR): Searchable PDF (OCR) creates a searchable PDF file by using optical
character recognition (OCR) to scan the original. When a document is scanned in this way, use
Adobe Acrobat® Reader's search tools to search for specific words or phrases within the PDF.
●
Searchable PDF/A (OCR): Searchable PDF/A (OCR) is a type of PDF/A file that includes
information about the document structure, which allows content to be searched.
●
HTML (OCR): HTML (OCR) creates a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file containing the
contents of the original document. HTML is used to display files on Web sites.
●
CSV (OCR): CSV (OCR) is common text file format that contains comma-separated values. This
type of file can be opened by most word processing, spreadsheet, or database programs.
Output Quality
Specify the output quality of scanned images, which affects the file size of the resulting file.
Original Sides
Specify whether the original document is printed on one side or both sides.
Color/Black
Specify whether the scanned image will be in color, black and gray, or black only.
For color printers only.
Scan Mode
Standard Document: Scan a page or stack of pages through the document feeder, or individually on
the flatbed glass.
Book Mode: Scan an open book and output each page of the book onto different pages.
2-sided ID Copy: Scan each side of an identification card on the flatbed glass and output them onto
one page. After scanning the first side, the printer prompts to place the second side in the correct
position on the glass.
Resolution

Specify the resolution of scanned images. Select a higher resolution to increase the clarity of the
image. However, as the resolution increases, the file size also increases.
Set up Scan to Network Folder
87
Original Size
Specify the paper size for the original document.
Content Orientation
Specify whether the original document is printed in Portrait or Landscape orientation.
Image Adjustment
Sharpness: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text
appear crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother.
Darkness: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned images.
Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and the darkest color on the
page.
Background Cleanup: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For example, if
the original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the background without
affecting the darkness of the image.
Automatic Tone: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100
characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it
orients the scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to the
other pages, the resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages have a
landscape orientation, the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the top of the
image.
Optimize Text/Picture
Optimize the job for the type of image being scanned: text, graphics, or photos.
Erase Edges
Remove blemishes, such as dark borders or staple marks, by cleaning the edges of the scanned
image.
Cropping options
Crop to original size: Crop the image to match the paper size of the original document.
Crop to content: Crop the image to the size of the detectable content in the original document.
Blank Page Suppression
Exclude blank pages in the original document from scanned images. This feature is useful for
scanning pages printed on both sides to eliminate blank pages in the resulting scanned document.
Multi-feed Detection
Enable or disable multi-feed detection. When enabled, scanning stops when the printer detects
more than one page at a time being fed in the document feeder. When disabled, scanning continues
when a multi-feed is detected, to allow scanning pages that are stuck together, originals with selfadhesive notes on them, or thick paper.

\16.88.20.20\scans). Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP
address.
NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address
via DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be
faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.
3.
To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a

NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be
entered in the corresponding fields.
6.
In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain.
TIP: To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click
System.
To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and
then click System.
The domain is listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.
NOTE: If a shared folder is set to be accessed by everyone, values for a workgroup name
(default is “Workgroup”), a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding
fields. However, if the folder is within a particular user’s folders and not Public, the user name
and password of that user must be used.
NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers
do not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case,
it is best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP
assigning a new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP
address that is on the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.

Document File Type
Save a scanned document as one of several types of files.
The following standard file types are available:
●
PDF: This file type provides the best overall image and text quality. PDF files require Adobe®
Acrobat® Reader software for viewing.
●
JPEG: This file type is a good choice for most graphics. Most computers have a browser that can
view .JPEG files. This file type produces one file per page.
●
TIFF: This is a standard file type that many graphics programs support. This file type produces
one file per page.
●
MTIFF: MTIFF stands for multi-page TIFF. This file type saves multiple scanned pages in a single
file.
●
XPS: XPS (XML Paper Specification) creates an XAML file that preserves the original formatting
of the document and supports color graphics and embedded fonts.
●
PDF/A: PDF/A is a type of PDF designed for long-term archival of electronic documents. All
format information in the document is self-contained.
HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP printers also support the following OCR file types:
●
Text (OCR): Text (OCR) creates a text file by using optical character recognition (OCR) to scan
the original. A text file can be opened in any word processing program. The formatting of the
original will not be saved using this option.
●
Unicode Text (OCR): Unicode Text (OCR) is an industry standard used to consistently represent
and manipulate text. This file type is useful for internationalization and localization.
●
RTF (OCR): RTF (OCR) creates a rich text format (RTF) file by using optical character recognition
(OCR) to scan the original. RTF is an alternative text format that can be opened by most word
processing programs. Some of the formatting of the original will be saved using this option.
●
Searchable PDF (OCR): Searchable PDF (OCR) creates a searchable PDF file by using optical
character recognition (OCR) to scan the original. When a document is scanned in this way, use
Adobe Acrobat® Reader's search tools to search for specific words or phrases within the PDF.
●
Searchable PDF/A (OCR): Searchable PDF/A (OCR) is a type of PDF/A file that includes
information about the document structure, which allows content to be searched.
●
HTML (OCR): HTML (OCR) creates a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file containing the
contents of the original document. HTML is used to display files on Web sites.
●
CSV (OCR): CSV (OCR) is common text file format that contains comma-separated values. This
type of file can be opened by most word processing, spreadsheet, or database programs.
Output Quality
Specify the output quality of scanned images, which affects the file size of the resulting file.
Original Sides
Specify whether the original document is printed on one side or both sides.
Color/Black
Specify whether the scanned image will be in color, black and gray, or black only.
For color printers only.

Scan Mode
Standard Document: Scan a page or stack of pages through the document feeder, or individually on
the flatbed glass.
Book Mode: Scan an open book and output each page of the book onto different pages.
2-sided ID Copy: Scan each side of an identification card on the flatbed glass and output them onto
one page. After scanning the first side, the printer prompts to place the second side in the correct
position on the glass.
Resolution
Specify the resolution of scanned images. Select a higher resolution to increase the clarity of the
image. However, as the resolution increases, the file size also increases.
Original Size
Specify the paper size for the original document.
Content Orientation
Specify whether the original document is printed in Portrait or Landscape orientation.
Image Adjustment
Sharpness: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text
appear crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother.
Darkness: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned images.
Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and the darkest color on the
page.
Background Cleanup: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For example, if
the original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the background without
affecting the darkness of the image.
Automatic Tone: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100
characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it
orients the scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to the
other pages, the resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages have a
landscape orientation, the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the top of the
image.
Optimize Text/Picture
Optimize the job for the type of image being scanned: text, graphics, or photos.
Erase Edges
Remove blemishes, such as dark borders or staple marks, by cleaning the edges of the scanned
image.
Cropping options
Crop to original size: Crop the image to match the paper size of the original document.
Crop to content: Crop the image to the size of the detectable content in the original document.
Blank Page Suppression
Exclude blank pages in the original document from scanned images. This feature is useful for
scanning pages printed on both sides to eliminate blank pages in the resulting scanned document.
Multi-feed Detection
Enable or disable multi-feed detection. When enabled, scanning stops when the printer detects
more than one page at a time being fed in the document feeder. When disabled, scanning continues
when a multi-feed is detected, to allow scanning pages that are stuck together, originals with selfadhesive notes on them, or thick paper.
Notification
Select whether to send notifications of the status of scan jobs. The printer can print the notification,
or it can send the notification in an email.

Fast (default) — v.34/max 33,600 bps
●
Medium — v.17/max 14,400 bps
●
Slow — v.29/max 9,600 bps
The Redial Interval setting selects the number of minutes between retries if the number
dialed is busy or not answering, or if an error occurs.
NOTE: You might observe a redial message on the control panel when both the Redial
On Busy and Redial On No Answer settings are set to off. This occurs when the fax
accessory dials a number, establishes a connection, and then loses the connection. 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.

Description
Error Correction Mode
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.
Fax Number Speed Dial Matching
Enabling the Fax Number Speed Dial Matching can help when dialing faxes.
When you dial a fax number manually, this feature checks the stored speed dial entries
for a number that matches the number you enter. This can speed the dialing process and
help you if you do not remember the speed dial entry number for a given fax number.
If the product finds a matching speed dial entry for the fax number entered manually,
you can touch Yes to send the fax to that number or have the number added to the fax
distribution list.

Some features on the printer control panel can be secured so that unauthorized people cannot use them.
When a feature is secured, the printer prompts you to sign in before you can use it. You can also sign in
without waiting for a prompt by selecting Sign In from the printer control panel.
Typically, the credentials for signing in to the printer are the same as for signing in to the network. Consult the
network administrator for this printer if you have questions about which credentials to use.

NOTE: To maintain security for the printer, select Sign Out when you have finished using the printer.
IP Security
IP Security (IPsec) is a set of protocols that control IP-based network traffic to and from the printer. IPsec
provides host-to-host authentication, data integrity, and encryption of network communications.
For printers that are connected to the network and have an HP Jetdirect print server, you can configure IPsec
by using the Networking tab in the HP Embedded Web Server.
Lock the formatter
The formatter has a slot that you can use to attach a security cable. Locking the formatter prevents someone
from removing valuable components from it.
Encryption support: HP High Performance Secure Hard Disks
The hard disk provides hardware-based encryption so you can securely store sensitive data without impacting
printer performance. This hard disk uses the latest Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and has versatile
time-saving features and robust functionality.
Use the Security menu in the HP Embedded Web Server to configure the disk.

the Very Low threshold. You can acknowledge the prompt or replace the cartridge to resume
printing.
●
Select the Continue option to set the printer to alert you that the cartridge is very low, and to
continue printing beyond the Very Low setting without interaction. This can result in
unsatisfactory print quality.
For products with fax capability
When the printer is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print
when the printer resumes printing. This can occur if the printer has received more faxes than the memory can
hold while the printer is waiting.
The printer can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the
Continue option for the toner cartridge, but print quality might degrade.

Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds
Introduction
The following solutions can help solve problems if the printer is not picking up paper from the tray or is
picking up multiple sheets of paper at one time. Either of these situations can result in paper jams.
●
The printer does not pick up paper
●
The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
●

1.
Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain
inside the printer.
2.
Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.
3.
Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.
Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 145
4.
Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the
marking on the tray.
NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations
or markings in the tray.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers.
Most HP printers have markings similar to these.

5.
Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer and that paper is being
stored in unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper
dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it
might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from
the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If
this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing
the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side
of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without
introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,
and continue.
7.
The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the
cloth in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.

3.
The status of all supply items is listed on the screen.
4.
To print a report of the status of all supply items, including the genuine HP part number for reordering
the supply, select Manage Supplies, and then select Print Supplies Status.
Step two: Check supplies status
1.
Look at the supplies status report to 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.
2.
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.
Clean the printer

Check paper and the printing environment
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.
●
Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
●
Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles,
voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
●
Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
●
Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
180 Chapter 9 Solve problems
ENWW
●
Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in
Inkjet printers.
●
Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:
●
Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
●
Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.
●
Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
●
Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
●
Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides,
including the top.
●
Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.

Check the image-adjustment settings
Adjust these additional settings to improve send-fax quality:
●
Sharpness: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text appear
crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother.
●
Darkness: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned images.
●
Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and the darkest color on the page.
●
Background Cleanup: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For example, if the
original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the background without
affecting the darkness of the image.
●
Automatic Tone: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100
characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it orients the
scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to the other pages, the
resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages have a landscape orientation,
the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the top of the image.

Send to a different fax machine
Try sending the fax to a different fax machine. If the fax quality is better, the problem is related to the initial
recipient's fax machine settings or supplies status.
Check the sender's fax machine
Ask the sender to try sending from a different fax machine. If the fax quality is better, the problem is with the
sender's fax machine. If a different fax machine is unavailable, ask the sender to consider making the
following changes:

Solve wired network problems
Introduction
Check the following items to verify that the printer is communicating with the network. Before beginning,
print a configuration page from the printer control panel and locate the printer IP address that is listed on this
page.
●
Poor physical connection
●
The computer is using the incorrect IP address for the printer
●
The computer is unable to communicate with the printer
●
The printer is using incorrect link and duplex settings for the network
●
New software programs might be causing compatibility problems
●
The computer or workstation might be set up incorrectly
●
The printer is disabled, or other network settings are incorrect
NOTE: HP does not support peer-to-peer networking, as the feature is a function of Microsoft operating
systems and not of the HP print drivers. For more information, go to Microsoft at www.microsoft.com.
Poor physical connection
1.
Verify that the printer is attached to the correct network port using a cable of the correct length.
2.
Verify that cable connections are secure.
3.
Look at the network port connection on the back of the printer, and verify that the amber activity light
and the green link-status light are lit.
4.
If the problem continues, try a different cable or port on the hub.
The computer is using the incorrect IP address for the printer
1.
Open the printer properties and click the Ports tab. Verify that the current IP address for the printer is
selected. The printer IP address is listed on the printer configuration page.
2.
If you installed the printer using the HP standard TCP/IP port, select the box labeled Always print to this
printer, even if its IP address changes.
3.
If you installed the printer using a Microsoft standard TCP/IP port, use the hostname instead of the IP
address.
4.
If the IP address is correct, delete the printer and then add it again.
The computer is unable to communicate with the printer
1.
Test network communication by pinging the network.
a.
Open a command-line prompt on your computer.
204 Chapter 9 Solve problems
ENWW
2.
●
For Windows, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
●
For OS X, go to Applications, then Utilities, and open Terminal.
b.
Type ping followed by the IP address for your printer.
c.
If the window displays round-trip times, the network is working.
If the ping command failed, verify that the network hubs are on, and then verify that the network
settings, the printer, and the computer are all configured for the same network.
The printer is using incorrect link and duplex settings for the network
HP recommends leaving these settings in automatic mode (the default setting). If you change these settings,
you must also change them for your network.
New software programs might be causing compatibility problems
Verify that any new software programs are correctly installed and that they use the correct print driver.
The computer or workstation might be set up incorrectly
1.
Check the network drivers, print drivers, and the network redirection settings.
2.
Verify that the operating system is configured correctly.
The printer is disabled, or other network settings are incorrect
ENWW
1.
Review the configuration page to check the status of the network protocol. Enable it if necessary.
2.
Reconfigure the network settings if necessary.

Checklist for solving fax problems
●
General fax problems
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."
NOTE: Verify that the phone jack is connected to the fax port rather than to the network port. The
ports are similar.
●
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 printer 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. You might need an interfacing Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) to connect the fax machine to
digital PBX systems.
●
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 printer 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.
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 printer directly to the phone jack on the wall
to determine whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.
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-toanswer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory answers
all calls.
206 Chapter 9 Solve problems
ENWW
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.
Check fax accessory status
If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to check the
status.
1.
From the Home screen, scroll to and touch the Administration button.
2.
Open the following menus:
3.
●
Reports
●
Configuration/Status Pages
●
Configuration Page
Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen. The
report consists of several pages.
NOTE: The printer IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.
On the Fax Accessory Page of the Configuration Page, under the Hardware Information heading, check the
Modem Status. The following table identifies the status conditions and possible solutions.
NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax accessory. If
you are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those configurations could be disabling the feature.
Operational / Enabled1
The analog-fax accessory is installed and ready.
Operational / Disabled1
The fax accessory is installed, but you have not configured the
required fax settings yet.
The fax accessory is installed and operational; however, the
HP Digital Sending utility has either disabled the printer fax
feature or has enabled LAN fax. When LAN fax is enabled, the
analog-fax feature is disabled. Only one fax feature, either LAN
fax or analog fax, can be enabled at a time.
NOTE: If LAN fax is enabled, the Scan to Fax feature is
unavailable on the printer control panel.
1
ENWW
Non-Operational / Enabled/Disabled1
The printer has detected a firmware failure. Upgrade the
firmware.
Damaged / Enabled/Disabled1
The fax accessory has failed. Reseat the fax accessory card and
check for bent pins. If the status is still DAMAGED, replace the
analog-fax accessory card.
ENABLED indicates that the analog-fax accessory is enabled and turned on; DISABLED indicates that LAN fax is enabled (analog fax is
turned off).

If the job is too far along in the sending process, you cannot cancel the job.
This is normal operation.
No fax address book button displays
None of the contacts in the selected contacts list have fax information associated with them.
Not able to locate the Fax settings in HP Web Jetadmin
Fax settings in HP Web Jetadmin are located under the device's status page drop-down menu.
Select Digital Sending and Fax from the drop-down menu.
The header is appended to the top of the page when the overlay option is enabled
For all forwarded faxes, the printer appends the overlay header to the top of a page.
This is normal operation.
A mix of names and numbers is in the recipients box
Names and numbers can both display, depending on where they are from. The fax address book lists names,
and all other databases list numbers.
This is normal operation.
A one-page fax prints as two pages
The fax header is being appended to the top of the fax, pushing text to a second page.
208 Chapter 9 Solve problems
ENWW
To print a one page fax on one page, set the overlay header to overlay mode, or adjust the fit-to-page setting.
A document stops in the document feeder in the middle of faxing
A jam is in the document feeder.
Clear the jam, and send the fax again.
The volume for sounds coming from the fax accessory is too high or too low
The volume setting needs to be adjusted.
Adjust the volume in the Fax Send Settings menu and the Fax Receive Settings menu.
