• 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.

• HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 no FAX OF the COMPUTER

  Hi, when trying to fax from the computer, apparently nothing is happening...

  Steps-

  Intended to document on screen

  Select Print

  Choose printer 8600 FAX

  Dialog (seems even PRINT)

  After hitting OK, nothing happens.

  I assumed that the box should appear asking where I want to send either right when I select print via 8600 Fax, or right afterwards?

  Works ok / can fax directly from glass all-in-one.

  A ran utilities print and Scan doctor and says that everything is ok. But does not list the FAX as a separate printer.

  When I check the fax under devices and printer, no documents are in the print queue.

  Suppose he need some sort of update driver or reintall?

  Running Windows 7, 64 bit.

  Thank you!

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium: centered on the black vertical line on copy the view when using the auto doc feeder

  This just started happening in the last two weeks. Whenever I have to SCAN using the ADF, a black line runs from top to bottom. I cleaned the glass to the left of the flat glass and cleaned the white strip above the glass on top of the printer that opens. The community has it any other suggestions or experience with this issue? The printer is about 2 years old.  Thank you!

  I looked back through the forum and found a great Bob Headrick troubleshoot in 2008. This allows to calibrate the printer has been the answer for me. Thanks Bob!

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Fax 'answers' in case of normal phone...

  I have my Officejet pro 8600 value fax NO response.  But when in phone... via phone calls connected to the phone in the back of the printer... and the line connected to the line port... the fax machine "will answer", which is to connect to the line and interrupt the phone call, I'm... NOT when the phone rings but after a few minutes into the call.  I have to click X on the touch screen on the printer or turn it off in order to retrieve the call.  Does it randomly but quite often to be a BIG problem.  I make sure that the printer is turned off unless I need to print.

  This sounds like a defect?

  No problem.  Hope that works according to a straight line.

• 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.

• 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

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus does not fax

  He just did not react, even if the Test Fax is OK (all PASS). I did a lot of testing. Sometimes (well only once so far), it does not recognize a call (I call from a cell phone, but I know clients that it does not meet either ordinary fax machines) and connect. Sometimes, he gets the call, but ask me to accept it, although the auto answer is on. And most of the time, almost always, it does not react at all.

  It is a series of N911g Officejet Pro 8600. Brand new. It is connected to my PC (win7U) via USB, no configuration wireless fantasies at all. I tried to install manually and with the wizard, both directly on the printer to the computer. Everything fine each time, including a successful fax test all. But then no reaction. The line is a Fax line, with its own number, only for faxes. No problem to send faxes. I have tested the line on another printer (Epson PX830), with the same cable, just unplug the phone line on the Officejet and plug it into the Epson: no problem, all calls answered.

  Any ideas? Thank you!

  It works with the new NT. I was even able to programm with the fax: for lines analog, you will need to enter your analog number manually in the NT by using an analog phone (or perhaps a more intelligent device for the pros, I guess). I just send faxes empty a little with the codes as numbers. I got an error message from the phone network, but the new testament had already swallowed the codes from here here. I have not tried the cable: too happy it works finally.
