HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a - Print when Fax is not saved

Can I do so a fax is printed when it is not registered?

I know that I can put to print and save every time, but I trust HP digital fax to save paper.

If a fax is not registered, either because of a network error, or if the computer that logs usually in is cut off, can just fax be printed?

@MrMeow, it's nice to meet you.

I think I found something that can help your fax dilemma.

This information has been in the User Guide for the Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one - N911a; PG 69.

Set up backup fax

According to your needs best and security, you can configure the printer to store all faxes it receives, only faxes it receives while the printer is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.

The following fax backup modes are available:

On >  The default setting. When backup fax is enabled, the printer stores all faxes received in memory. This allows you to reprint up to eight more recently printed faxes if they are always saved in the memory.

NOTE: When the memory of the printer is low, it replaces faxes print, older because it receives new faxes. If the memory is full of unprinted faxes, printer stop to answer incoming fax calls.

NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, as a very detailed color photo, it cannot be stored in memory due to limitations of memory.

Error only > Causes the printer to store faxes in memory only if there is an error condition that prevents the printer to print the faxes (for example, if the printer is out of paper). The printer continues to store incoming faxes, as long as the memory is available. (If the memory is full, the printer stops responding to incoming fax calls). When the error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory automatically, print and then they are deleted from the memory.

Off >  Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to disable fax backup for security reasons. If an error condition occurs which prevents the printer to print (for example, tracks paper printer), the printer stops responding to incoming fax calls.

NOTE: If the backup fax is turned on and you turn the printer off, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might receive while the printer was in an error condition. You must contact the senders asking them to return the unprinted faxes. To get a list of faxes that you have received, print the Fax log. The Fax journal is not removed when the printer is off.

To set backup fax from the printer control panel

1 tap (right arrow) and select Setup.

2. press Fax Setup, and then click Advanced fax setup.

3. press on the backup Fax reception.

4. press on , error, or out of service.

Reprint of faxes received from memory

If you set backup fax mode to On, received faxes are stored in memory, whether the printer has an error condition or not.

NOTE: After that the memory is full, the oldest faxes, prints are replaced as new faxes are received. If all stored faxes are not printed, the printer does not receive fax calls until you print or erase memory faxes. You can also delete the faxes in memory for purposes of confidentiality or security.

According to the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to eight more recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example, you will need to re - print your faxes if you have lost the copy of your last draw.

To reprint the faxes in memory from the printer control panel

1. make sure you have loaded paper in the main tray.

2 tap (right arrow) and select Setup.

3. touch Tools , or Faxand then select reprint faxes in memory. The faxes are printed in reverse order, where they were received with the most recently received fax printed first, and so on.

4. If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, press the Cancel button.

Please let me know if these steps solved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

I look forward to hear from you!

Thank you

    Why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

    Hello @momodeda!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I don't know why the computer does not show the printer offline, but I would be happy to provide help to try and get communicating them again!

    The first thing I would suggest is to power cycle all the devices.  Remove the power to the printer, shut down the computer and remove the power to the router.  Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the router.  Wait for the lights on the router to return.

    Plug the printer in and turn on the computer.  Once all devices are back on, try printing again.

    If this does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the HP software.  Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.

    To uninstall the HP software, click here: uninstall the HP software

    To perform a disk cleanup, click here: perform a disk cleanup

  • OfficeJet 6700: ADF works only when you scan not copy

    Our officejet 6700 has an irrational problem - will take the ADF and scanning a document using the pc without problem, but if load you something using the function copy on the machine itself, he acknowledges that he is a responsible original, you hit copy and is not feeding the sheet through and copy from scratch!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello @edtech,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are not able to use the ADF on your HP Officejet 6700 Premium to make Copies, but you can use it to perform a scan.

    I would like you to do a hard reset:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.

    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup because they can cause the printer to lose over time basic functionality).

    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    6. the printer should automatically power back upward. If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    Are now able to make a copy using the ADF? If you are still unable to make a copy, you will need to contact our technical support at www.hp.com/contacthp/.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 6830 all-in O: printer 6830 fax receive not when auto answer is disabled

    I have a phone that has an included answering machine. My connections with the phone jack, phone and printer are all properly connected and voice calls and faxes are basically works well.  My problem is when I have the off Auto answer and I receive a call, the answering machine get it if they want to leave a message, but if they press send at the end of a FAX, it won't in fax mode.  I have to be present and manual press FAX on my end.  If I put it on Auto answer, then when the phone rings and he answers it automatically in FAX mode, regardless if it is a fax or voice call. The rings before answer is 4, but I also tried with 2.

    How can I configure it so that I can do both... which means that when a call comes in, it can get picked up by the answering machine if they want to leave a message or if they want to send a FAX, press they SEND to their end and it passes the FAX on my end.  I used to have like that with my other all in one printer so I know its possible... at least with another HP model.   Thank you in advance.

    Try all the 'rings to answer' on the fax machine to 6. You must set the 'rings to answer' on the bigger than the 'rings to answer' fax on the answering machine the answering machine have a chance to pick first, and if it is a fax tone, the fax is then pick up.

  • OfficeJet G85 & Windows 7 - printer works; scanner does not work!

    I use Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

    Does anyone know how to operate the OfficeJet G85 scanner please?

    I don't know how access the "Windows Fax and Scan" but when I click on 'New analysis' I get the error message "no scanners detected" even though the printer/fax/copier options work very well...

    This copied from another forum, don't remember which one - it works. :

    "" Hey everybody, I am running Windows 7 and just used my HP G85 as a scanner.  Here's how:
    (1) hit your start icon
    (2) select devices and printers
    (Win 7 at least should recognize the G85 as two items, a G85 printer and like a unamed fax)
    3) double-click the Fax icon

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air

    Hello

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "the printer is not connected", but the display on the printer connected. I often reset the printer "EVERY TIME" I want to use. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer is not displayed on my selection.

    Hello boojoo1tw,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to print most of the time with your Officejet 8600. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.

    If your wireless printer, then I recommend the award of an 'IP address' by following this HP document on printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

  • How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?

    How can I set up my new Officejet Pro 8600 more printing on paper photo 4 x 6?  I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit.

    It's strange.  Looks like you have a second paper tray and put it to the default tray.  The second paper tray only supports the types of paper that show on your list.  It's strange because unless you have purchased a second tray paper, plus model has one.  Does only the high-end model.  Other than that, only certain types of media can be duplex, so if you have double-sided printing, it can limit the selection.  I'll watch what else could be the cause and get back to you.
