1240 FAX: FAX 1240

How can I connect the FAX 1240 to my laptop and use it as a printer?

Welcome to the community of HP, @JRF1!

I looked in the user manual for the HP Fax 1240 series unit and do not see that this device connects to your computer to be used as a printer. Most likely you will need a printer to use as a printer for printing documents and photos from your PC.

I hope this helps

  • HP FAX 1240: Installer HP FAX 1240

    I inherited a HP 1240 FAX machine; I would like to print a test report automatic printer.

    It has ink cartridges installed and loaded paper tray.  When I plug in and put on it displays "initializing." then "phone number".  If I get a phone number or not, when I press the button 'OK' or 'Setup' I hear 3 rapid beeps and nothing happens.  I can't find where this is discussed in the manual or the power supply.

    Maybe I need to be connected to a telephone line and this is the number of this line.

    HI @JRF1,

    I see you are using the HP 1240 Fax Machine. It is a basic fax, not a printer.

    The document that I have proposed, a lot of information about configure the fax machine for use.  She was supposed to be in a general way, I didn't want to create confusion.

    This fax machine requires an active telephone line, otherwise it is of no use to you.

    Please plug the phone line into the fax to continue.

    Also, I assume that the machine will beep because it is occupied "initialization". During the installation process it will be not fully functional, up to the completion.

    Have you tried to install new cartridges of ink in there? Ensure that the plastic with pink tab strip is removed, before inserting it into the printer or initialization will not end. It will remain in this mode.

    Other issues, such as a jam paper or traffic Jam can be to stop this process.

    I would like to try the steps in these guides,

  • change the incoming fax for .tif files

    I'm faxes sent on my computer in .tiff format. The program I use to move faxes to records of patients needs to be in .tif format. Can I change this?

    I guess since you asked here in a Thunderbird support forum for these faxes come to you by e-mail and you use Thunderbird.
    Thunderbird offers just your mail. It has nothing to do with the naming of files.
    There is no difference between a .tif and a file .tiff except for the number of characters in the file extension. You can rename the file yourself if your system will not accept the 4-digit extension.
    You can always contact the sender and ask them to change the name before you send it.

    More precisely than the code refers to the hard drive fan motor. 99% of the time that your hard drive has failed.

  • When I try to print it thinks I want to fax. I don't!

    Yesterday and today as well when I hit print I get a message about sending faxes, that my fax is not put in place, etc. I do not have a fax nor do I want one. Why it does this instead of print?

    Try to print again, but this time notice the "name:" drop-down menu in a dialogue of the page printing. Make sure that your printer and not 'Fax' is selected.

    That should solve this problem.

  • Can I send an email to a fax number?

    Since I do not know the e-mail address of the person I want to contact, but don't have a fax number, can I compose an email in Thunderbird and send it to the fax number? Do I need an add-on or a special format in ' send to '?

    In general, a message sent to a fax machine requires a phone call and e-mail clients do not know how how do phone calls.

    A few years ago, it was quite common for ISPS to offer a limited number of free calls, usually of SMS messages to mobile phones, sometimes faxes IIRC. Most of these promotional services seems to have disappeared quietly.

    There used to be a network (PTC ring a Bell) who took a system where you could send in a fax server near your destination and that they would make the last mile, the fax for you, call for free, but it always happens with advertising added in.

    So, overall, it is not trivial to send a fax from an e-mail client.

    There are still companies who do this, almost always for a fee. It is usually a bilateral agreement; you receive one number to which others can send faxes, that end up in your e-mail Inbox, and you can use the same number to send faxes by e-mail.

    The one that I've used in the past.

    It's not a recommendation.

    Not so long ago, we all had a modem built into our computers. This, when it is connected to a regular landline, with the right software, can allow your computer work like a fax machine. Of course, every fax you send you a phone call just like running a real fax would be costs. Of course, Windows XP can send a fax was built in; you dial in a word processor or text editor, and then select the fax as the printer device. A dialog box invites you for the fax number to send it to. As far as I know, this feature is still present in Windows 7 and 8.

    If you do not have a fixed phone, mobile phone can offer something similar.

    Difficult to understand how this is a problem of Firefox support Firefox doesn't have any fax machine capabilities.

  • can I send a fax using thunderbird

    I use Open Office Writer and would like to directly send a fax from the "file" drop down.
    My Windows 7 computer is connected to the Canon MX410 all-in-one printer that has
    ability to fax. Y at - it a configuration using Thunderbird that will allow me to send a fax?
    Thanks for your reply.

    This is not possible with Thunderbird out of the box. Thunderbird can send e-mail messages. If you find an Internet service accepting e-mails and convert them to a fax, you may be able to achieve.

  • With the new updated my headphones stop working and I have to reboot to get back them on. Speakers continue to work. Looks like a fax under water.

    After downloading the new update, my helmet randomly began to lose the sound and I get this sounds like a fax under water machine and I do not have what I was listening to. I have to shut down my computer to do return normally, only to have to chance to do it again. The computer stops you can hear a popping sound. I went back to an earlier backup and have not installed the update for a day and it was working very well again. Then I installed the update again and a few hours that has started to happen again. I went back to the previous record and have not installed the update for the last 3 days and no problem. I would like to be able to install the update but not if it means losing her and having to close. I watch TV on my computer and it of a huge pain to get a film loaded only to stop because I can't hear it, then reload and maybe 20 minutes. or an hour later same thing. And it seems to be quite random when it happens.

    Contact HP to set up your fax machine, like edmister said.
