HP Officejet Pro 6830: Receive faxes with a HP officejet pro 6830 w / answering machine

I had an OLD officejet model that could receive faxes even if the answering machine was not connected directly to the fax machine the 6830 manual says that it must be directly connected.  My current Brother printer does NOT receive faxes because of this problem.  Anyone know if I directly connect my machine to this model (Officejet 6830) to make it work?  I won't buy it if it will not work.

Hello @JPJ408,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that you are looking to buy a printer all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 6830 for fax purposes. While the User Guide advise you to plug the answering machine directly on the back of the Officejet unit, it is not necessary.

If you have a fax with an answering machine on her line, the only requirement is that the fax is set to two rings higher than the answering machine. Most of the responders are put back on 4 rings. As a result, you would set your Officejet to automatically pick up on 6 rings. In this way, when a voice is heard, you can manually respond to the call before the answering machine to pick up. If you are not home and then people can still leave messages on your answering machine. If you have a fax to come through, do not respond. The answering machine will pick up after 4 rings. At this point the fax machine "listen" on answering machine message and if fax tones are detected, the fax will take over and receive the fax.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

  • Cannot receive faxes with 1522MFP M

    Have a HP Laser Jet Multifunction all-in-one M1522MFP Series PCL 6 working with HP PC running Windows 7. The installation wizard using HP beneath all the programs/HP/M1522MFP, I put the fax in fax mode / such. Have connected a telephone service directly from the telephone wall jack to the port phone on HP computer and a phone line from the phone Out Port on the computer to a phone. I can make calls from the phone and I can send faxes to the machine but incoming faxes appears to be as a voice call, i.e. phone rings attached, the fax does not receive the incoming synchronization signals and incoming fax goes unanswered. The LED display on the machine says Fax / such. I ran the wizard configuration several times and checked the connections without success. Under devices and printers, I have two icons for M1522 MFP with a ticked by default. Could it be the source of the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Implementation of all of the recommended changes and am able to receive faxes now. Don't know what change did more but suffice it to say that I am happy with the results. This forum and this collaborator, in particular, are high, in my opinion. Thank you!

  • How to configure my Mac (OSX Lion) to receive faxes directly from my HP Officejet 6500 +.

    I have a Mac OS x Lion and a HP Officejet 6500 +. I would like to save incoming faxes directly to my computer, rather than having the 6500 to print them. I installed the driver of HP6500 on Mac: print and outgoing fax jobs. Using the configuration Print & Scan on Mac System Preferences, I can select the Officejet 6500 fax, click on "receive options" and turn on "receive faxes on this computer": I got him to answer after 1 ring and save faxes to an appropriate folder.

    The problem is that the incoming faxes even print directly on the 6500 and are not registered on the computer.

    I tried following the instructions on the manual for 6500 located here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf but the indications on page 57 for the implementation using the HP tell me to select the "applications" icon in the toolbar and it isn't here.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Well, this got me half way there, thank you.

    Once you have installed the software which recommends ShlomiL, then you must enable the option Archive digital as described, which won't be available unless the device is physically connected via a USB cable. Wireless is not an option. The value "Digital Fax archiving" 'Save to Folder' and then choose a folder that is accessible in writing-world. The folder must be specific for incoming and used faxes for anything else! The 'Notification of incoming Fax' value to what you want.

    Then go into the front panel of the 6500 and disable printing fax. (There is an option buried under "base set up the fax / Fax HP Digital")

    Finally, create an automator workflow that automatically prints any picture of new place in the folder of incoming faxes created there are two steps. Set it to print on a printer laserjet cheap rather than ink-jet 6500 ridiculously expensive. (Or skip this step if you're ok with not having a copy of incoming faxes).

    You can ignore the options useful and well-designed integrated on your Apple about "receive faxes on this computer". HP only plays nice with that.

    I still hate the HP, but at least now I didn't spend $35 for a new inkjet cartridge every two weeks.

  • More HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Fax answering incoming calls instead of answering machine

    I set up the fax on my new HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus & the fax at the end past all test report & yes I used the good cable for the phone (the one that came with the fax) However when someone calls, the fax picks up the call rather than the answering machine.

    Can someone tell me how to fix this please?

    If you get only fax from time to time, I suggest to turn off the auto answer on the 8600, and when you hear the fax tone, * #123 to tell the fax machine to pick up. In this way, you can leave your answering machine like that and do not miss faxes.

  • Can send but cannot receive faxes on HP Laserjet on Mac 10.9 Mavericks with answering machine TAM

    I have an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mavericks) and a machine to print/scan/fax all-in-one HP Laserjet Professional M1212nf MFP connected by USB.  I have a phone with answering machine connected system.

    I can send faxes of the HP and the Mac (using the pdf fax).  What I can't do, is to receive faxes on the HP (I know that the Mac cannot receive faxes with this machine).  I tried all the combinations of parameters without result even unplug the phone/answering machine without result.

    Any ideas what I need the settings?

    Hi ChuckStewart,

    It is definitely a head scratcher! I found some additional information from the following link, you use a product of Fax HP with a telephone answering machine (TAM).

    I found this interesting presentation text, when recording the outgoing message on your TAM, share of voice must be at least 10 seconds of time, but not more than 20 seconds . Save 5-7 seconds of silence at the end of the vocal part of your outgoing message (message coming out would be your voice message length plus the extra 5 to 7 seconds of recorded silence ).

     

    I wonder if you might find something useful in the document.

    Please let me know. Thank you.

  • Can I fax with my equipment?

    Hello.

    I have a HP Pavilion all in one PC and a printer - Scanner - Copier HP Photosmart C4480 all-in-one .

    I am able to send and receive faxes with this equipment, and if so how do I do this?

    Some people say that I need additional software, while others say that there is a "fax facility" in the PC.

    I would appreciate your help. Thank you, bilwardo

    The HP Photosmart C4480 all-in-one printer's specifications indicate that there no fax capability. You may need to click on the tab "card printer" to see the point, that is, the fax is n/a.

    You may be able to scan documents to the C4480 and then send the scanned fax image, If you have a fax on your PC HP Pavilion.

    Log on to the computer and type ctrl + alt + s. A window pop up and you tell the model number. Go to www.hp.com and search for your model number. You should be able to find the software and manuals from here, and you should be able to determine if your Pavilion model has ability to fax.

  • Answering machine is picking up beeps fax

    Have you tried everything and my Officejet 6500 has when I receive a fax my answering machine kicks on the 3rd ring and the fax is set for 4 lights, yet the answering machine picks up the incoming fax or beeps.

    Hello

    To do this in the right direction, the following needs to be done.

    When you save the message out (GMO) on your telephone answering machine, leave a short pause before speaking. Make sure that your message is clear and understood between 10 and 20 seconds long, containing a silence of 5-7 seconds at the end check the manual of the manufacturer for specific instructions concerning the registration and re-registration of the messages. Set the answer rings on your HP all-in-one product to a number that is at least two higher than the telephone answering machine setting. For example, if the telephone answering machine is set to answer after four rings, product HP must be on answer on six rings. See your HP Product Guide to learn how to change the parameters of fax for more details.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot receive faxes

    HP Officejet Pro 8600

    ================

    Cannot receive faxes.

    Able to send faxes.

    Have a line telephone/answering system equipment, with 4 lights.

    I send a fax to the 1-888-473-2963.

    A few minutes later my phone/answering machine equipment has started ringing 4 times, asking to leave a message.

    Then I heard the ringtone that a fax has been available and I checked the printer display. I had an option:

    "receive faxes manually.

    I pushed this option and the incoming fax was printed.

    If this case should be closed.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 spits out a blank second page when receiving faxes

    I have a brank new Officejet Pro8600 and it's the same as my last HP all-in-one has started doing.  Even if he receives only one fax from page, it seems to read as two pages and also spits out a blank second page.

    My frustration is more, because I just replaced my last all-in-one to do the same thing.  It's a waste of paper and very boring.

    I'm happy that I got this sent to me, because I was really pulling my hair, and it looks like you are too.  I finally came up with a workaround, that nobody at HP and Verizon could help.

    Finally, I changed the configuration of the fax on legal size paper, and it works like a charm.  For some reason, it was as if the received fax was not aligning with the dimensions of the letter, but now that I changed the settings, I have more the problem of paper all this waste.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610: Cannot receive faxes

    I am able to send faxes but not receive them. I turned off in error correction, changed the fax speed to slow and auto answer enabled. None of this has worked.

    I think the problem might be the way that the printer and fax are connected. I have a cable modem and the telephone line goes directly from the modem jack. My phone service is through Comcast cable, then nothing is plugged directly into the wall jack to the phone.

    I have a phone on the same phone number, which is plugged into the upper Jack on the printer. The (phone) cord frrom the modem cable to the printer is plugged directly underneath.

    Hello @foxtail09,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    I understand that you Officejet Pro 8610 is unresponsive to faxes.

    I would like to help.

    Everything seems correct.

    Your phone line has a service of voice mail on this subject?

    Voicemail could be intercepted the fax before that the printer gets it.

    Run a test fax report to determine the status of fax on the printer and whether or not it is properly configured to send and receive faxes.
  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 will not send or receive faxes

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 cannot receive fax

    I just got a Comcast phone line and I can send faxes but not receive.  Do I need a digital analog converter box?  How can I fix it?

    I'm sorry you have a problem with your fax. You may need to get a converter. Faxing with digital is not always guaranteed. It's so of transmitters and digital communication and that it is unable to send or receive.

    Here is a link you can follow, which can help you with this problem.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02891758

    You can also run the fax test and verify the results.

    Check your connections.

    1. LINE 1 on the printer goes directly to the wall jack or LINE 1 of the modem (if you have package, cable, internet and telephone).

    2 LINE 2 on the printer go to the phone.

    Let me know if these steps help you.

  • problem receiving fax Officejet 8600

    On an officejet pro 8600 fax. When faxws are received, I want each sent page just be printed on a sheet, one side. Now, when someone sends a fax to several pages, the printer uses both sides of the paper. I don't want to. I want each sent page just be printed on a sheet on one side. I can't find anywhere in the documentation how to configure to print received faxes only on one face.

    Someone has an idea?

    Hello

    From the front panel of the printer, click on the GREEN button at the top of the screen.

    Using the arrows, find and tap the Print to Fax duplex option.

    Press on print on 1 side.

    Any future fax page will be on a separate page. printerd

  • OfficeJet 6835: Connection printer/fax to the single telephone line with answering machine and DSL router

    I change my current 2 lines phone/fax with answering machine setup and router DSL to a single line.  I have the right instructions HP and all the necessary parts and wiring diagrams, but I can't determine which of the now used phone cords is 'special' one provided in the box with your printer.  Instructions for the installation of a line saying I should use this cord between the DSL filter and the 1-line port on the printer for reliable fax.

    How can I identify this original HP cord?  And, in case I can't, what makes it "special"?

    Hi @Atlantico,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request.

    I understand that you change the way that your fax is installed on your HP Officejet Pro 6835 e-all-in-one printer and you want to be able to identify the phone cord supplied with the printer. I would like to help.

    Usually the phone cord supplied with the printer is black and a 2-wire telephone cord. There are basically 2 types of telephone cords, 2-wire or 4-wire. cords 2 telephone wires are the most basic phone cords and because the fax was built around the analog telephone systems, this is the type of cord they suggest to use.

    You can identify a phone cord of 2 sons looking at the end of the connector that you plug into the phone jack. Please see the attached diagram below.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.
  • Error 388 trying to fax with HP Officejet 6700

    When you try to fax with HP Officejet 6700, I get an error message 388 - whatever that means?

    Some background info: I try to use a MagicJack Plus on PC under Windows 7 Professional Powerspec environment - the fax works with devices such as MagicJack VoIP?  I have the tone & I set the fax speed to slow down

    There is a document that explains the different fax error codes.  The document can be accessed here.

    Error 388-

    Definition

    There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise issue may disappear over time.

    Solution

    Retry the fax to a receiving another time when improved telephone line conditions. Call phone provider if the driving conditions fail to improve.

    It is a common mistake when trying to fax over VoIP, such as MagicJack.  Probably that that's not going to work based on the error you receive.
