HP Officejet 5740: Digital Fax

Is there a way for willing coming faxes when the PC is on, but when it is off, it automatically prints the fax? (without telling the PC to do)

Hi @vison77,

Thank you for the HP Forums. I understand that you would like to know if you can set your settings to digital fax to the fax to file, but when the PC is on you want to print (without having to say so).

I checked the settings, and it seems that you would have to change whether or not you want to print faxes. You can have the archiving of digital Fax and print faxes, or you can disable printing so that they deposit only. To sum up, you need to manually select if you want to print or not.

If I misunderstood your request in any case, let me know. If this solves the problem, please click accept button Solution below as well as others can easily find the answer.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing back on your part.

  • OfficeJet 5740: Cannot fax from the computer

    My new Officejet 5740, purchased on 11/15/14, worked fine until February 2015 - no problem with any of its functions, including faxes.

    That was all the time I went from a wireless connection to a USB connection and since then out of faxes cannot be sent from the computer, even if they can be sent from the printer by using the LED screen. There is no problem with the incoming faxes.

    Sending the printer with the LED screen is a nuisance of errors compared to the convenience of use of the computer. Lengthy discussions with HP Technical Support have been of any help. The technicians seem to think I should just give up and use the LED screen on the printer.

    After trying in vain to send an outgoing fax using the computer, the Fax status window appears saying "queue... "as the status of the fax, and it never goes one further.

    Is it possible that my passage in wireless USB connection type caused the problem? Maybe I need a different driver? If Yes, where can I download one, and what should I go for? Thank you.

    Hello @Harry46,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are not able to send a fax from your HP Officejet 5740 computer, you can send a fax from the front panel.

    1. disconnect the USB key if you use a direct connection.

    2. remove the HP software JO 5740 uninstall from the control panel of your computers an option of the program.

    3. restart the computer.

    4. make sure that all them that software JO 5740 has disappeared from the list of programs, but also your HP folder listed under all programs in your Start Menu.

    5. now, go ahead and download the software and drivers for your JO 5740 (DO NOT connect USB until the software prompts you to):

  • OfficeJet 8500 digital fax

    I know that I am dealing with some old technology here, but is there anyone who can tell me how I can configure the ability of digital fax to save incoming faxes as PDFs rather than TIFF?  I am facing an OfficeJet 8500 A909g Pro.  It works fine in all other respects, but I need the PDF format for a workflow I design.  Thanks in advance.

    I'm afraid not, PDF is not an option in the files of incoming fax for the specific model.

  • Just save - unwritten - digital fax on OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g

    I have the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g. I have the HP Fax in Digital Mode defined so that incoming faxes are saved on the network folder. Currently, when a fax arrives, it prints the fax and stores a PDF version of the fax in the network share. I don't want it to do both. Just save. Do not print.

    Is there a framework where we can prevent printing to save on paper (and ink)? I'd rather just browse my incoming faxes into PDF and only those that I really need to print. I like the option to turn off printing of incoming faxes and just store them on the network share.

    I did... took a while, but it's very simple, then it worked. All what you need to do is:-

    1 using the screen on the printer

    2. press on the key (top, middle of the screen)

    3. press on the basic Fax Setup

    4. digital fax

    5 fax print

    6. and finally click on off

    THEY're as simple as that. I was looking through the settings for centuries until I stumbbled on it. The hardest part about this process for me was getting through my exchange server... quite the task.

  • Digital fax with Officejet Pro 8500 wireless

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.1 with the latest version of the drivers from HP, but I can't seem to understand how to enable digital fax. The device itself says that it must be configured on the computer.

    I am hesitant to install the software from the CD the HP drivers for Snow Leopard is supposed to be most recent.

    Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

    Faxing from the Mac is not yet fully enabled on some printers in Snow Leopard.  I'm not sure of the 8500.

    Try the latest drivers for HP on the site of Apple here.  If this does not work, wait for 10.6.2 - it comes out very soon.

  • Digital fax put in place in the web server integrated shows "invalid entry".

    I have an officejet Pro 8600 more than we use fax digital network folder option with.  Our installation worked fine for several months and the other day I noticed that we receive no faxes in the network folder.  I go through the installer with the built-in web server, and when I save and test I get an error of "invalid entry".  Technical support has been absolutely no help.  Hoping that someone out there has an idea that might work.  To make matters worse, when I turn off the digital fax I get is even more print faxes.  They just disappear! Any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    In Internet Explorer, open the built-in web server, click the ALT key and then click on tools on the main menu.

    Click compatibility view settings, and then click the Add button.

    Click Close, and then follow the fax to electronic-mail/network folder option.

    You can see any difference?

  • HP Digital Fax to Email

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911n

    The fax is the installation program for an analogue line.

    Faxes sent to the machine are not forward the email that we set up. The journal said HP Digital fax does not apply.

    Is the reason why faxes are not convert e-mail due to the fact that we have an analog faxline on the machine?

    It only works if the e-mail is coming to a line of digital fax?

  • OfficeJet 5740: efax for officejet 5740

    How to configure the fax using efax?

    Hi @billharlan

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I see you want to learn how to set up your printer Officejet 5740 so all eFaxes that your receipt is printed.

    I presume that you have connected your printer to your wireless network or it is connected by an ethernet cable to your router so that the printer has internet access. I'm also assuming that you have already subscribed for eFax.

    To have your eFaxes printing on the printer, you must configure the ePrint printer function. Please start with the code of request to printer. You can use the e-mail address of the printer default ePrint to enter your eFax for an e-mail account to receive faxes too. If you want, you can customize the address of e-mail to HP ePrint.
