HP Color LaserJet 2840 User Manual

							Changing the V.34 setting
The V.34 setting is the modem protocol that the device uses to send faxes. It is the
worldwide standard for full-duplex modems that send and receive data across telephone
lines at up to 33,600 bits per second (bps). The factory-set default for the V.34 setting is On.
You should change the V.34 setting only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax
from a particular device. 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.
To change the V.34 setting
1. On the device control panel, press MENU.
2. Use the < or the > button to select Fax setup, and then press E
NTER.
3. Use the < or the > button to select All faxes, and then press E
NTER.
4. Use the < or the > button to select V.34, and then press E
NTER.
5. Use the < or the > button to select On or Off, and then press E
NTER.

							Understanding scanning methods
You can scan an item in the following ways.
●Scan from the device: Start scanning directly from the device by using the device
control-panel scan buttons. The S
CAN TO button can be programmed to scan to a folder
(Windows only) or to scan to e-mail.
Note
The HP Color LaserJet 2830 all-in-one includes separate SCAN TO FOLDER and SCAN TO EMAIL
buttons, instead of one SCAN TO button.
For more information, see 
Scanning from the device control panel (Windows).
●Scan from HP Director (Windows): Press S
TART SCAN on the device control panel to
start the HP Director software. Pressing S
TART SCAN to start the HP Director software is
not supported when the device is connected to a network (direct-connect only.) You can
also start the HP Director software directly from the computer. See 
Scanning by using
HP Director (Windows).
●Scan from HP Director (Macintosh): Insert an original into the automatic document
feeder (ADF) input tray to open the HP Director window. You can also start the
HP Director by clicking the Dock alias (Macintosh OS 10.2 or 10.3) or desktop alias on
the computer desktop. See 
Scanning from the device and HP Director (Macintosh).
●Scan from TWAIN-compliant or Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant
software: The device is TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant and works with Windows-
based and Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant
scanning devices. The device scanning software is also TWAIN-compliant and WIA-
compliant. For more information, see 
Scanning by using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-
compliant software.
Note
To learn about and use optical character recognition (OCR) software, install the Readiris
program from the software CD-ROM.
