continous fax

OfficeJet Pro 8600 keeps trying to send the same fax.  How can I stop it. Disconnected the telephone line, but he keeps trying

Hello broncoian,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

On the 8600 Officejet continually trying to send a fax, you can try to disable the reminder or do a power reset the printer.

I would firstly reset the power supply. Removed the power from the back of the printer, then on. The other end is plugged into wal taken directly and connect at the end of 60 seconds. Allow the printer to the power upward and see if the fax still tries to send.

If this is the case, try hit the X to cancel the fax, go to the configuration Menu of the printer. Go to the Fax Menu > advanced fax setup > No Answer redial > turn it off.

Let me know if these ideas helped.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Brother Fax 2820 and other printers are not compatible with El Capitan?

    What happens in the world?

    My printer worked fine until I upgraded to OX10.11.

    Brother Fax site does not provide a driver for OX10.11. the driver for 10.10 will not add to the printer.

    Then is - how they energize the economy, forcing me to throw a good working printer and buy a new one?

    I can be * off the coast at this point, or have I missed something?

    Apple has released a new set of drivers for brother a week ago. Have you tried these?

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

    By chance, do you have a printer all-in-one that can receive a fax message? Printer, scanner and Fax combined.

    If so, try looking in your owner's manual for this all-in-one knowledge how to print this message. Or view a support forum for this all-in-one printer of brand.

  • 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.

  • Reset Windows Picture and FAX viewer as the default value for jpeg files after loading of Corel

    I put Windows Picture and FAX Viewer by default to open jpeg, tiff and other pictures, so it appeared as an option in the drop-down list to view attachments that have been downloaded. After loading the software Corel Draw, it is now the only option to open photo files even if Windows Picture and FAX viewer is always defined as the default value. How to restore Windows Picture and FAX Viewer as a choice?

    Have you looked into the Corel software preferences to see if you can cancel these associations?

  • I installed Firefox 2 days ago (Windows Vista) and my Fax / HP 6700 does not accept faxes now, how can I fix this problem?

    my Fax will not receive a fax.
    Is there some kind of firewall or something to prevent this?
    or a panel of control somewhere where I choose this option?
    I re set as the fax machine and that didn't help.
    None of your tutorials helped either. I couldn't find that anything related.
    I'm a small business and need my fax machine.

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

    Browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) have no interaction with your fax, fax are analog technology race on telephone lines, browsers are the digital technology, which even if it can be run on a phone line (as in DSL) has no impact on your fax.

  • OfficeJet 6480 problem w fax setup, will not pass through wireless phone

    OfficeJet 6480.

    I took 20 minutes on the phone to find someone to get me to tell them what the problem is.

    the first speaker gave me a ticket #8018531464

    and passed me on the real tech support (I think).

    Finally, I asked if I could please tell him what my problem.

    He said yes and asked if f I have the black cord that comes with it.

    I said 'yes' and he pulled the plug (1 line) on the 6480.

    He hung up on me!

    hahaha, nope, the wwas cord connecting the cable-modem (TimeWarner) jack to the panasonic cordless phone.

    in any case, I wasn't going to go through the introduction of 20 min. again, only to find out if he could answer the question.

    So here it is.

    When I connect the black cable supplied with (for a single line I think) telephone jack of the cable modem (they provide my dgital phone, internet and Cable only ESA, no data dedicated line because I have to go through a flurry of faxes from time to time at home.)

    then the decision-making ext 2 'lines' on the 6480, another cord goes to the single input based on the receiver of the wireless phone.

    This is the problem, no tone came thru.

    so, in this loop, I inserted the small adapter, single-jac + cord short. the output of the 6480.

    and plugges regular there cord to the cradle of the wireless.

    I had a tone. It seemed to work so far. So I went to bed, feeling successful, to continue to ensure that I had

    useful with my 6480 fax equipment.

    However the next day it did not get a dial tone on the phone.

    I tried different combinations and then abandoned once more imn frustration.

    I tried to get this thing to work for a few months now.

    Once I had the parts of the loop of any kitchen. someone should sent the fax and the 6480 a o ring...

    ringtone and ringtone.

    He hgave been other variants of this scenario which have brought to the point of frustration, I said why bother, I'll do it at work.

    and not being able to devote a lot of time and energy with this easy start home.

    now since I've been laid off, I shortly and more neceessitty to fix this problem.

    I think that the signal gets to the 6480, because I run the test and all passses. There is no test for what I am referrring to and none combined on the 6480.

    I went into the details for several reasons,

    I can omit something: oh, Yes, the router is a lynksys router.

    There is a nearby office using the wireless router and a laptop computer in the other room.

    plus, you get a little history, to learn something on me, as you go through the same routine that I do with technical support. HP is not the only culprit of this approach non-customer ceneterd. But even that does not make this right.

    I suggest, if some listen to those interested. This customer centered woould be to first know of me what is my problem, while you may, or may not, to solve. Then, you can collect the serial number, etc..

    In addition, since you ask the serial number, I would like, as a customer, with that number clearly presented in a convenient place, say in my opinion as I llook at the machine.

    I hope to hear from anyone. Thank you.

    Here is the document on the implementation for different kinds of digital lines (think VOIP is not listed) that could work however, the fax modules used in probably all HP AIO are for analogue telephone lines only (the kind of Ma Bell telephone lines that have nothing to do with computers).  So, you could be just out of luck unless you want to pay for another standard analog line in your home for the fax.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but makes no sense you need to beat your head in frustration on something that is not likely to ever work.  Oh and another thing - make absolutely sure that the telephone line is connected to the fax to send/receive is the one supplied with the printer, they are not your average phone cords that come with phones or you can pick up at the local super store.
