Fax and digital phone services
Many telephone companies provide their customers with digital phone services, such as
the following:
• DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL
might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
• PBX : A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system
• ISDN: An integrated services digital network (ISDN) system.
• FoIP: A low-cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your
printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP).
For more information, see 
Fax over Internet Protocol.
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, or ISDN), you might need
to use digital-to-analog filters or converters when setting up the printer for faxing.
NOTE:HP does not guarantee that the printer will be compatible with all digital
service lines or providers, in all digital environments, or with all digital-to-analog
converters. It is always recommended that you discuss with the telephone company
directly for the correct setup options based on their line services provided.
Fax over Internet Protocol
You might be able to subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and
receive faxes with your printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over
Internet Protocol (FoIP).
You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) when you:
• Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or
• Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone
ports for the fax connection.
NOTE:You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port
labeled 1-LINE on the printer. This means that your connection to the Internet must
be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks
for fax connections) or your telephone company.
Fax over Internet Protocol 67
 
						

							TIP:Support for traditional fax transmission over any Internet protocol telephone
systems are often limited. If you experience problems faxing, try using a slower fax
speed or disabling the fax error-correction mode (ECM). However, if you turn off ECM,
you cannot send and receive color faxes. (For more information about changing the
fax speed, see 
Set the fax speed. For more information about using ECM, see Send
a fax in Error Correction Mode.
If you have questions about Internet faxing, contact your Internet faxing services support
department or your local service provider for further assistance.
Use reports
You can set up the printer to print error reports and confirmation reports automatically for
each fax you send and receive. You can also manually print system reports as required;
these reports provide useful system information about the printer.
By default, the printer is set to print a report only if there is a problem sending or receiving
a fax. A confirmation message that indicates whether a fax was successfully sent appears
briefly on the control-panel display after each transaction.
NOTE:If the reports are not legible, you can check the estimated ink levels from the
control panel, the HP software (Windows), or HP Utility (Mac OS X). For more
information, see 
Printer management tools.
NOTE:Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.
When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available
to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until
print quality becomes unacceptable.
NOTE:Ensure that the printhead and ink cartridges are in good conditions and
installed properly. For more information, see 
Work with ink cartridges.

							7 Work with ink cartridges
To ensure the best print quality from the printer, you will need to perform some simple
maintenance procedures. This section provides guidelines for handling the ink cartridges,
instructions for replacing the ink cartridges, and aligning and cleaning the printhead.

Information on ink cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
• The instructions in this user guide are for replacing ink cartridges, and are not
intended for first time installation.
• If you need to replace an ink cartridge, wait until you have the new ink cartridge
available to install before removing the old cartridge.
CAUTION:Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing
the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an
extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the ink
cartridge.
• Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
• Store ink cartridges in the same orientation packages hang on store shelves or, if out
of box, with label facing down.
• Be sure to turn off the printer properly. For more information, see 
Turn off the
printer.
• Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).
• You do not need to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable,
but a significant decrease in print quality may be the result of one or more depleted
cartridges. It could also be caused by a clogged printhead. Possible solutions include
checking the estimated ink levels remaining in the cartridges, and cleaning the
printhead. Cleaning the printhead uses some ink.
• Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the
cartridges.
74 Work with ink cartridges
 
						

							• Handle ink cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation
can cause temporary printing problems.
• If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the
printer or other damage from occurring to the printer:
◦Make sure you turn off the printer by pressing Power. The printhead assembly
should be parked on the right side of the printer, in the service station. For more
information, see 
Turn off the printer.
◦Make sure you leave the ink cartridges and printhead installed.
◦The printer must be transported sitting flat; it should not be placed on its side,
back, front, or top.

Check the estimated ink levels
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or the embedded Web
server. For information about using these tools, see 
Printer management tools. You can
also print the Printer Status page to view this information (see 
Understand the Printer
Status Report).
NOTE:Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.
When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available
to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the
print quality is unacceptable.
NOTE:If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that
has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or
unavailable.
NOTE:Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and 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, see 
www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
