Wireless

By following the instructions on the printer control panel and installing the HP printer software, you should have

successfully connected the printer to the wireless network.

With HP wireless direct, you can print wirelessly from a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other wireless-capable

device—without connecting to an existing wireless network. For more information, see the help file (see “Learn

more” on page 1).

Solve wireless problems

Make sure the wireless (802.11) light is turned on

If the blue light on the printer control panel is not lit, wireless might be turned off. To turn on wireless, touch

(Wireless), touch

(Wireless Setup), touch Wireless Settings, and then touch On in the Wireless field.

If the blue wireless light is blinking, it means the printer is not connected to a network. Use the Wireless Setup

Wizard available from the printer control panel to make a wireless connection. On the Home screen, touch

(Wireless), touch

(Wireless Setup), touch Wireless Settings, touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then follow the

on-screen instructions.

Make sure the computer is connected to the wireless network

1

English

Make sure your computer is connected to your wireless network. If you cannot connect the computer to the network,

contact the person who set up your network or the router manufacturer; there might be a hardware issue with the

router or computer.

Run the wireless test

To check that the wireless connection is working properly, print the wireless test report.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded in the tray.
2. On the Home screen, touch

(Wireless), and then touch

(Wireless Setup).

3. Touch Print Reports.
4. Touch Wireless Test Report.

If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix the problem and run the test again.
If the wireless signal is weak, try moving the printer closer to the wireless router.

Restart components of the wireless network

Turn off the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first and then printer. Sometimes,

turning off devices and then turning them back on helps resolve network communication issues. If you still cannot

connect, turn off the router, the printer, and the computer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first, then

printer, and then computer.
If the wireless connection cannot be made, the printer can also be connected to the network using an Ethernet cable.

website contains the most complete, up-to-date information about wireless printing, as well as information to

help you prepare your wireless network; solve problems when connecting the printer to the wireless network;

and resolve security software issues.
If you are using a computer running Windows, you can use the Print and Scan Doctor tool, which can help solve

many problems you might have with the printer. To download this tool, visit www.hp.com/go/tools.

Ink cartridge information

Setup cartridges: During setup, when you are prompted to install ink cartridges, make sure you use the cartridges

provided with the printer, labeled ‘SETUP’ or ‘SETUP CARTRIDGE’.
Ink usage: Ink from ink cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the

initialization process, which prepares the printer and ink cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps

print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more

information, visit www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
Anonymous usage information storage: HP cartridges used with this printer contain a memory chip that assists in

the operation of the printer and stores a limited set of anonymous information about the usage of the printer. This

information might be used to improve future HP printers.

How do I set up HP printers in digital phone environments?

HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. If you are in a digital phone

environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN, or FoIP), you might need to use digital-to-analog filters or converters

when setting up the printer for faxing.

The printer might not be compatible with all digital service lines or providers in all digital environments or with

all digital-to-analog converters. Contact your phone company to determine which setup options are best for you.
If you are setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system that has different ring patterns for internal

and external calls, make sure you dial the fax number of your printer using an external number when recording

the ring pattern.

The fax test does the following:

• Tests the fax hardware

• Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer

• Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port

• Checks for a dial tone

• Checks for an active phone line

• Tests the status of your phone line connection

To run the fax test:

1. On the Home screen, touch and slide your finger across the screen, and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup.
3. Touch Tools and then touch Run Fax Test. If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix the

problem, make the suggested changes, and run the test again.

Use reports and logs

Print a report

Use Fax

For more information about fax features, such as

blocking junk faxes or forwarding faxes, see the help

file (see “Learn more” on page 1).

Send a standard fax

1. Load your document print-side down on the scanner

glass or print-side up in the document feeder.

2. On the Home screen, touch Fax.

1. On the Home screen, touch Fax.
2. Touch Setup, and then touch Preferences.
3. Select On or Off next to Auto Answer.
If you have subscribed to a voicemail service on the

same phone line that you will use for faxing, you cannot

receive faxes automatically. You must respond in person

to incoming fax calls. (If you want to receive faxes

automatically, contact your phone company to subscribe

to a distinctive ring service or to obtain a separate phone

line for faxing.)

When receivingor printing faxes, always make sure

that the paper tray is loaded with the desired paper.

After closing the tray, ensure that this paper is

selected on the printer control panel.

Reprint received faxes from memory

If Backup Fax Reception is turned on, incoming faxes will

be stored in memory even when the printer has an error

condition.
All faxes stored in memory might be deleted from

memory when the printer is turned off.
1. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
2. On the Home screen, touch Fax.
3. Touch Reprint Faxes.
The faxes are printed in the reverse order from when they

were received, with the most recently received fax printed

first, and so on.

Receive a fax manually

If you are on the phone with another person, you can

receive faxes manually without hanging up the phone.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded.
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.

Set Rings to Answer to a higher number to allow you

time to answer the incoming call before the printer

does. Or turn off Auto Answer so that the printer does

not automatically answer incoming calls.

3. Ask the sender to start sending the fax.
4. When you hear fax tones, touch Fax, and then touch

Send and Receive.

5. Touch Receive Now.
When the printer begins to receive the fax, you can hang

up the phone or remain on the line. You might not hear

fax tones during fax transmission.

Send a fax using an extension phone

1. Load your document print-side down on the scanner

glass or print-side up in the document feeder.

2. Dial the number by using the keypad on the extension

phone.

DO NOT use the keypad on the printer control panel

when sending a fax using this method.

3. If the recipient answers the phone, you can engage in a

conversation before sending the fax.
If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax

tones from the receiving fax machine.

4. On the Home screen, touch Fax.

Cannot send but can receive faxes

1. Perform a copy or scan to ensure that the printer is

working properly.

2. Check the physical fax connections.
3. Check if other fax devices can send to the same phone

number. The receiving fax device might have blocked

your phone number, or it might be having technical

problems.

4. If the problem persists, print the Fax Error Report and

Fax Log (and if available, the caller ID report and junk

fax report), and then contact HP for further help.

Cannot receive but can send faxes

1. Check the fax settings on the printer.
2. Check the physical fax connections.
3. Check if other devices connected to the same phone

line can receive faxes. The phone line might be faulty

or the sending fax device might be having problems

sending faxes. You might also want to check if you

have blocked the sender’s phone number.

4. Check the problem with the sender. If the problem

persists, print the Fax Error Report and Fax Log (and if

available, the caller ID report and junk fax report), and

then contact HP for further help.

Cannot send and receive faxes

1. Perform a copy or scan to ensure that the printer is

working properly.

2. Check the physical fax connections.
3. Check the fax settings on the printer.
4. Check if other devices connected to this phone line can

send or receive faxes. There might be a problem with

the phone line.

5. Reset the printer by turning off the printer and, if

possible, the main switch of the power supply. Wait for

a few seconds before turning on the power again. Try

to send or receive a fax on the printer.

6. If the problem persists, print the Fax Error Report and

Fax Log (and if available, the caller ID report and junk

fax report), and then contact HP for further help.

If you have subscribed to a voicemail service on the

same phone line used for faxing, you will have to

receive faxes manually.

Check the printer fax settings

• The Auto Answer feature is turned on for the printer to

receive fax automatically.

• If you have subscribed to a voicemail service from

the phone company or service provider, ensure that

the Rings to Answer on the printer is set to be more

than that of the telephone answering machine. The

printer will monitor the line and decide if an incoming

call is a normal phone call or fax call. If it is a fax call,

the printer will start a fax connection automatically.

Otherwise, you might have to receive the fax manually

by touching Fax.

• If multiple phone numbers are assigned to the same

physical phone line and the line is shared by multiple

devices, ensure that the printer is set to the correct

distinctive ring setting for receiving faxes.

Check the physical fax connections

• Connect the phone cable from the port labeled 1-LINE

on the back of the printer to the phone wall jack and

connect a phone cable from the port labeled 2-EXT on

the back of the printer to an extension phone. From the

extension phone, call the phone number that failed to

receive the faxes.

If you were trying to fax to an external number,

be sure to include any required access code or

numbers prior to entering the number. You might

also need to add a pause in the number to prevent

the printer from dialing too fast; to add a pause,

touch * repeatedly until a dash (-) appears on the

display.

• If you cannot make any outgoing calls because no dial

tone is detected or the line is noisy, try using another

phone cable in place of the one connected to the 1-LINE

phone port, or move the printer to another location

that has a separate phone line (if possible) and see if

there are similar problems.

• If you are in a digital phone environment (such as FoIP,

fax over VoIP), reduce the fax speed and turn off the

Error Code Modulation (ECM) from the printer control

panel. If needed, contact your phone company to find

out if there are problems with the phone line or to learn

more about the capabilities of the phone network.
