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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hi @Horseshoer,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are not able to communicate by fax using the ADF on your HP Officejet 8500 printer. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I understand that you are able to fax using the scanner, which is nice to hear. I also see that you mentioned that you are able to copy of the set 'auto '. Are you referring to the ADF (automatic document feeder) or the feeder?

    If you are able to copy multiple pages using the ADF, fax should also work. The printer may have a little problem, that can solve a reset.

    I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
    Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
    This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    If you have a computer that is running Windows 7 or an earlier version, I would update to the firmware of the printer. Clickherefor the download page.

    If you are unable to update the firmware of the printer, I suggest to try partial reset or Semi - full Reset. I can send you this information in a private message. In the forum next to your handle name simply click on the envelope to see.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

  • Always auto answer on my Officejet 8500 does not fax - tried all the suggestions.

    Hello

    I read a few messages with similar questions, but none that have exactly the same problem. Auto answer on my Officejet 8500 is on and there is a light.  I tried this turn by both pushing the button on the machine, as well as through the web interface.  I have put fax to send e-mails and not functioning properly.  The phone cord is plugged into the correct port on the printer and I use a telephone with 2 wires in cable and not 4 (some thought that the cord 4-wire has been the question but I do not know how it would make a difference).  I even tried to see if the machine to auto answer when the auto answer button has been turned off, just in case it worked in reverse.

    The fax can send as well as receive (so the cord should work) via sending e-mail function that I put in place.  We can receive faxes if someone is there to push a button, but no one is often.  Everything should work perfectly if she just automatically answer... which is essential to any fax machine in general.  Anyone know what could be the cause and how to fix it?  If we cannot get this to work, we get a different machine.

    Here are some statistics:

    Model: Officejet pro 8500 A909n

    Firmware version: DLM1FN0924AR

    Operating system: Windows XP Pro

    There were no changes to my system before that happened.

    Are there updates that could take care of this?

    Thank you!

    Hi ForeverFixing,

    Follow the steps described in the pages of 89 to 92 Fax to PC users guides.

    NOTE: Fax to PC and fax to Mac are available to receive faxes in black and white only. Color faxes are printed instead of be saved on the computer.

  • Digital fax

    I have the HP Officejet 8500 has 910.  I have it configured to receive faxes digitally to save any faxes that arrive while I'm out.  The problem is that if I do not change the name of previous faxes new faxes take the place of the old and delete them in the process.  Is it possible to fix this? I got a Deskjet 4500 with this backup feature, and it worked like a charm.  I had nothing to do.  She saved each fax that happened and never deleted the 'old'.

    I'm not really sure what is the cause.  It is not a feature that you can enable or disable what it would change.  It should work.  There are a few things you can try to solve the problem though.  Before you begin, make sure that you don't need newspapers fax or whatever it is printed in the case where they fade from the memory of the printer.  Now that it's done, make sure that the printer firmware is up-to-date.  You will find how to check and update here.  If the firmware update does not resolve the problem, try to do a hard reset then.  The hard reset should Flash the printer memory and erase everything that is to suck in it.

    To do a hard reset:

    1. Make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. Pull out the power cord from the printer.
    3. Pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. Wait 30 seconds.
    5. Plug everything up and turn on the printer.

    Let me know what happens.

  • OfficeJet 8500 has Pro Plus: elimination of printer

    Just to check what I've read.  I want to give my Officejet 8500 a Pro Plus but am concerned there may be personal information stored somewhere on the printer.

    Are there other data stored on the device, for example information copied from documents?

    If there is, how to remove these data.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The only information stored in the device are the journal of faxes (a list of the last 30 fax jobs), any content as an original document copied is never stored on the memory of the device itself.

    From the Configuration Menu, select Tools, and then click Restore Factory Defaults and confirm.

    That should erase any personal fax header information / details, recall lists or fax log.

    Kind regards

  • 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?

    Hi OTSSupport,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you have a problem with receiving receipt by fax to your email.
