OfficeJet Pro 8600: disable auto-answer

Whenever someone calls me (she is not a fax, but a regular phone call) talk to me, I get a message on my printer there is a ' incoming call auto answer on ", then the name and number of the person calling.  I am unable to answer the phone manually.  This just started today.  I have to disable the automatic response to meet again my phone?  If so, how can I disable it?

Hi @maaryann1008and welcome to the Forums of HP!

You have set up the printer to receive faxes? Do you want the auto-answer on without it interrupting your calls, or do you just want it out?

You can make the necessary changes to your fax configuration by using the menus on the front panel of the printer. Please press the arrow on the right side of the touchscreen when on the home screen, and then select Setup. In the configuration menu, choose the fax configuration, ad go to auto answer to turn it off, or go to rings before answer to change the number of rings the printer rings before fax answers.

Please let me know if these changes on the Panel before solving the problem, or if you need assistance. Thank you.

  • 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.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600: Scan - disable the 'Save' button with MAC OS 'SIERRA '.

    Hello world

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 installed in a Macbook pro.

    After having upgraded to Mac OS Sierra (10.12) 'Save' button in the HP scanning software is now disabled when the save screen appears. Save documents are possible using the 'Test' option in the menu "Preferences".

    It worked fine with the latest version of 'El Captain'.

    I've searched for scanning HP new version for Mac OS Sierra, but nothing.

    Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

    TKS in advance.

    Hello
    The HP scanning application is not compatible with Sierra, so you may experience problems.
    Remove the HP scanning by moving it to the trash, then empty the trash.

    Instead install HP Easy Scan below, it will be installed in the Applications folder:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/installations/Essentials/HP-easy-scan-1_7_0.pkg

    If you experience additional problems, ensure that the latest version of the software is installed by following HP Easy Start below:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

    Finally, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date by clicking the Apple icon, select about this Mac and then press on software update.
    Click on the Bank on the menu bar, click Reload Page, click all update if an update is available.

    Kind regards

    Hi, if this solution worked for you please go to options and click on accept as solution and click on Bravo to give a shout out. Thanks, Baumtech1

    Hello @baumtech1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have accidentally disabled your Officejet Pro 8600 network capabilities. I would like to help.

    I you sent a private message with instructions to access the menu of the toggle from the Panel of 8600.

    Please note: when you turn on either from EWS (embedded Web server) printer or front panel NEVER activate control lock. It can cause a very undesirable situation. Also please don't be one of those rare people who adds a password to access EWS of the printer. These passwords also cause a lot of grief. Especially because they are really hard reset and easily forgotten. Add to that the fact that he has not forgotten the password option and you have a recipe for disaster... Well... It has been my experience anyway.

    If you access the menu toggle and you get things working again, tell by the accepted solution.

  • 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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 more. No menu auto scan when loading documents in the ADF?

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 more again to replace the L7780 who brought up the menu scan, when a document is loaded into the autofeeder.  How can I get the only 8600 to do the same.  I find that I liked the convenience of the automatic menu, but it does not come to the top when I load the document (s) to scan in the ADF.  This feature has been discontinued?

    Thank you.  I do enjoy the printer but miss this feature that I scan all my documents in my computer to avoid to keep a lot of paper.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 - N911a: completely disable a Fax

    I "inherited" just a HP Officejet Pro 8600 used e-All-in-on printer - N911a.

    We do not have fax and I want to turn it off.  How do I turn it off?

    If not cela, can I re-arrange the icons of the main menu to put it on the first screen (we need to copy and scan, and of course the printer will print).

    Hope to hear an intelligent person who knows how to do this.

    Murphy strikes again... No sooner that I posted that I discovered how to do it:

    Open the browser, go to the IP address of the printer, select the SETTINGS tab, then on the left side, select Administrator settings and have fun. Don't forget to restart the printer for the changes to take effect.

  • 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.

  • OFFICEJET PRO 8600 Plus: OFFICEJET pro 8600 more

    I have been using my OFFICEJET pro 8600 more for a few years with no problems until now. It is connected wireless to my network and it is unusual. I can print a single item and then it loses the connection. I have to turn the printer off and power turn it back on, then I can print another point and it disconnects again...

    very frustrating that someone knows how to fix this?

    I use Apple and PC. Same question with all devices and computers.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Scan to computer

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. Installation and configuration was successful. However, every minute or two, I get a notification of ball on the Windows task bar that says "Scan to computer do not enabled." I assume that this occurs because the printer is turned off after entering a sleep mode is not used for a specific period of time. I could be wrong about this, of course. But assuming that I'm not wrong, my question is how can I disable that irritating notifcation to appear every minute?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. open the control panel and write "Notification area icons" in the search:

    2. the Notification area options appears and select the option that says ""ScantoPCActivation " "

    3. Select the option that says 'Hide icon and notifications'.
