OfficeJet Pro 8500 manually change the number of rings for fax operation

I have a new machine which has a minimum of 6 rings before it works. My Officejet Pro 8500 has a max of 6 rings before the fax works. If the fax machine starts as the answering machine trying to record a message. It is a disaster.

How can I maually change the printer to recognize fax obligations to 7 rings or more instead of 6?

Good explanation.  The answering machine and the printer do not coordinate what to do when a call comes in.

There is not a way to change the setting in the printer for more than 6 rings, but in my view, there is a solution to your problem.  Line 1 on the printer port is for connecting to the wall outlet you mentioned.  The port of line 2 is used to connect a telephone or answering machine.  Scans and fax number are transferred to the computer through a direct usb cable or via an ethernet cable connected to a router.

If you connect the answering machine to line 2, the printer has built in the system so that the printer can decide if the call is for the answering machine or fax machine and act accordingly.  It won't work if the answering machine is connected to the printer.  Why don't you give that a try and let me know what happens.

    Thanks for the pointer.

    I found the rest of reference to the website of Bell Mobility (Canada), that solved my problem:

    How can I choose the number of rings before the center of messages or no answer transfer picks up?

    To set the number of rings before messages or center of the Express Message Centre picks up, follow these steps:

    From your mobile phone, press on * 94, followed by the number of standard rings you would like that your callers hear before display se pick up; This can be between 2 and 9. (For example * 942 to 2 rings)

    1. Press SEND or TALK
    2. If the change is successful, you will hear a confirmation tone. If the change was not successful, you will hear a fast busy signal; Repeat steps.

  • HP Officejet pro 8500 a prints the endless stream of white leaves unordered with a character on them

    My HP Officejet Pro 8500 worked until about 2 weeks ago (it's around the age of 3 months).  He started printing constantly (a period that some documents are sent to the printer - I want to be clear, that is not in what concerns the documents ORDERED from any of the computers).  It prints a sheet of paper with a D in the first place of character in the upper left corner, then spit out the paper.  It keeps going until it is out of paper.  The only way to stop it is 1) turn off 2) continue to press the button "Cancel printing" (every 5-10 seconds) or 3) taking the paper.  Of course, it's annoying because while he was in fact trying to print a document (which comes out fine), it must load the fresh paper and lose several pieces so that the printer continues it's freak out before you print our document ORDERED.

    Spent nearly 2 1/2 hours on technical support yesterday - it took 2 hours to MAKE IT CLEAR that the printer was PRINTING ON it's OWN.  Technology has always tried to "correct" the documents I feel (which are very GOOD, as I said).  Finally, I was told that a technician at a higher level should remember-, but looking at it through the forums, it seems that it's an empty promise and no point in waiting for assistance.

    Any suggestions?

    Well, as usual with something technical, my trip was winding and fraught with frustration.  After my post yesterday, I found some other threads containing possible responses.  Thanks, PrintDoc, for your suggestion and I'm sorry but I didn't see in time to try it.  Although I did reset hard on the printer (disconnect while it was expected from one day to the next, then re - plug inside), who had not helped.  The tech had me also unplug the printer, press 16 times, then re - plug again.  These patches did nothing.   Here is what happened:

    See another post about printer problems, the solution was to change the printer port - so I started with that.  I had the printer ports pose problems with previous HP printers, so it seemed a reasonable solution.  Unfortunately, it did not work.  Worse still, it took my printer on the network somehow.  However, the printer still showed that it was connected 'Wireless' (geen light was on, the report states that all was fine)- but the router could not find the printer and the printer would not print.  ARGGGGHHH!

    Then, I tried to re - install the printer.  Although the installation is complete, the printer still wasn't on the network.  I tried to play with the ports - nothing helped.

    Meanwhile, the printer is spitting out unwanted documents.  As a last resort, I put the network on the default printer settings, just to see that if the pages continued to out - they did!  So: I thought it wasn't a network issue, but a printer problem.

    Just like I was losing my mind, the advanced technology of HP called me back (as I was promised by the previous technology the day before).  He said that it was probably a problem of firmware inside the printer and take back to the store and exchange it.  I did (fortunately I had an extended warranty - printer is old and 2 months off the day 30 store the warranty period).  I got the printer at Office Depot and they were VERY nice about exchanging (plug for Office Depot here!).

    I brought the printer home, set up (as you know, that takes a WHILE) and then had to run to an appointment in the evening.  I left, I tried the Test Page and it printed.  But I didn't count this trip as finished!  When I got home, the printer was quiet - no unwanted pages - everything was going well.  However, as I started dinner, I heard it starts... I ran into the office and - Yes - you guessed it - more unwanted pages!

    OK - NEW printer - NEW set up - it was quiet while we were GONE from the House.  WHAT has changed?  I ran through the possibilities in my mind - I was sure I had checked the print spools all the computers in the House, but my son came from is on his computer.  I caught and checked the "Printers" section  Of course, our OLD printer was installed on his system and was probably spoil a new.  Nothing in the spool printing, but the port was likely the same.  In any case, I deleted the old printer and ALTO - him spewing pages not desired STOPPED!

    Why pages continued to get out even after I took the printer offline?  Probably because so many FAKE "impressions" that had built they had not come out yet.  But of course it was not obvious at the time.

    Problem solved with just a little detective work.  YAY!

    I hope this helps someone else out there!

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

  • Cannot install Officejet Pro 8500 A910 on the network in my laptop Windows XP


    Resolved, not resolved.

    I talked to HP technical support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the home edition) when networked through a router. It will install via USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled with only USB connected to clear all printer/scanner of network information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and the computer, but it does little good if you need internet access.

    Hi, I just bought one of the above, and I'm very happy with it.

    Everything seems fine, but my only question is about setting "scan to e-mail".  Although I can put this so it works very well, I have not worked on how to have more than one setting up outgoing e-mail profile.  Is this possible at all?

    Ideally I'd like each employee to use "scan to email" by selecting their own profile on the 8500 and have the scan/email to come from their own e-mail address rather than a ' company '...
