OfficeJet Pro 8610 - answering a call by phone, and then receive a fax remotely

Hello everyone

We just purchased and installed a Pro Officejet 8610 as a fax on our home/office phone line.

The phone line also receives regular calls and a phone is connected to the line BUT 2 FLOORS above.

Is it possible to receive a fax after having responded to the call from the phone?

If the phone was near the Officejet we can start the fax by using the touch screen, but this is not the case.

We had a standard fax machine (Sharp UX-238) that can be started remotely directly from the phone that answers the call simply typing "5."

(see also http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForBusiness/DocumentSystems/MFPsPrinters/Manuals/MX6240N_7040N/c...

One wonders if similar behavior or is available on the Officejet Pro 8610.

Hello

If yo, pick up the phone and hear a fax sounds, "123" from your phone dial, and which should cause the fax answer the call.

If you do not see this response, make sure that the Mode of Error Correction is enabled in the printer setup and check again:

  1. On the printer Panel, drag the screen to scroll to Setup and then press the Setup icon ( ).

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610: No desktop Windows 7 printing and Officejet Pro 8610

    I bought and installed a new 8610 Officejet Pro about a month ago.  My desktop computer is a unit of HP Windows 7.  The printer is wireless.

    Until a few days ago, everything worked fine, but now I can't print anything from my desktop computer.  Printing from my computer MacBook laptop works very well.  Printing from my iphone is fine.  Digitization of the desktop computer is fine.  Webprinting is fine.  The printer icon has a nice green checkmark in the devices folder.

    I ran printing HP and doctor Scan, which claims to solve a problem of port, but does not solve the problem.

    I use windows to troubleshoot the connection, claiming to make the printer available to my homegroup, but it does not solve the problem.

    I tried to change the security settings for the spooler.  Has not solved the problem.

    I can not manually stop and star the spooler via prompt back.  Said system 5, access denied error.

    It's maddening.  I got rid of my old printer (which must be printed from the office) so that I could have a capacity of wireless printing, and now I have the ability wireless, but impossible to print from my desktop.  Aaaaggghhhhhh!

  • HP Officejet Pro e-all-in-8610: HP Officejet Pro 8610 - error Code: "0xc19a0013" (printhead missing or failed)

    I bought the printer (e-all-in-one printer HP Officejet Pro 8610) in January 2015.  The printer was working properly - fax, copy and scan, until two days ago.  Now, it doesn't print at all.  Received an error code: "0xc19a0013" (missing or does not have the print head).  An expanded version of the error code reads: "the print head seems to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.  Error: 0xc19a0013.   The printer uses a removable printhead, HP Ink cartridges (black) 950 and 951 (cmy).  I used the diagnosis of HP support recommendations: all software and firmware for this printer is installed. HP ink cartridges are not low or empty; remove the printhead ink cartridges and reinstall them.

    There are several steps in the recommendation of troubleshooting, but I stopped to lift the printhead.  Because of my technical inexperience, and there were too many ceveats (attention, attention, proper relocation and etc..)  with the removal of the print head which could cause problems more serious.  Then, I stopped to remove and clean the print head.  Also, used the doctor to Scan printer HP for assistance. Tool to clean the printhead does not.   What worries me most with the 0xc19a0013 error code is his explanation: the print head seems to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.  I can use all the help I can get to understand what is happening with the error code that I received and the resolution of the printer malfunction.

    Hi RandyT9,

    I think it's related to distinctive ring setting. Have you tried to put the distinctive ring for all the rings feature and see if the printer can automatically respond?

    If you are using distinctive ring service, please refer to the user manual on the distinctive ring setting.

    If you don't use a distinctive ring service, make sure that the Distinctive Ring

    function of the printer is set to all rings.

    Hope this can help.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610 - error setting up Fax Wizard I don't use a proper phone cord

    I have a single line by Time Warner Cable telephone system that is a set which includes the cable TV, internet connection of road runner and digital phone. I use a system of wireless phone with a stand-alone answering machine which works very well.

    I'll just put up my new printer Officejet Pro 8610 and crossed the Fax Setup Wizard to use my voice single line telephone and fax system just as I did with my old HP Multifunction printer it replaces.

    Everything seemed to connect and to work very well when one had the Fax Wizard to perform the test at the end of the installation procedure. As a precaution, I ran the consecutive times to test with the answering machine turned on and turned off and twice he spent in all categories, and once it failed to indicate that the phone cord was not the right kind.

    I used the RJ11 cable supplied with the printer, but it wasn't enough long reach the phone in the wall jack that I connected an additional RJ11 cord so it would reach. So the two cords to have only 2 pods as they should.

    I am trying to determine why I get together and pass and fails with the same set up?  If I need one RJ11 telephone plug cord in the wall to the printer?  Or am I running a subsequent wizard test too soon after a previous?

    I would appreciate any comments or suggestions about the reason that I feel this inconsistency.

    Thank you

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610: Cannot receive faxes

    I am able to send faxes but not receive them. I turned off in error correction, changed the fax speed to slow and auto answer enabled. None of this has worked.

    I think the problem might be the way that the printer and fax are connected. I have a cable modem and the telephone line goes directly from the modem jack. My phone service is through Comcast cable, then nothing is plugged directly into the wall jack to the phone.

    I have a phone on the same phone number, which is plugged into the upper Jack on the printer. The (phone) cord frrom the modem cable to the printer is plugged directly underneath.

    I understand that you Officejet Pro 8610 is unresponsive to faxes.

    Everything seems correct.

    Voicemail could be intercepted the fax before that the printer gets it.

    Run a test fax report to determine the status of fax on the printer and whether or not it is properly configured to send and receive faxes.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610: HP Officejet Pro 8610 does not recognize ink cartridges

    My printer has ceased to recognize its ink cartridges. In a first stage, the problem happened occasionally and could be fixed by installing and reinstalling the cartridges or just wait a few days, but now it is continuous.

    When I turn on the printer, it immediately gives me an error (without code), saying that it cannot find the cartridges. All four are marked on the screen as not found. I followed the instructions of troubleshooting here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04090902

    The cartridges are genuine, they are the ones that came with the printer. I removed the, checked the contacts of the four. They look damaged or dirty, but used a cloth to clean all anyway. Put back them, did not help. Checked the latch, it was in the correct position. I even tried the restart without result.

    I tried to replace the cartridge with a new one (again, product HP genuine), but does not replace the printer either. And because all cartridges have failed at the same time, I can hardly belive the problem lies in them.

    I come from Finland, and I've not found a phone number, I could ask for help. Does one exist even for my country?

    Hey @Leathert,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  • Install OfficeJet Pro 8610 on Windows Server 2012

    Hello

    I'm trying to install the drivers for a Pro OfficeJet 8610 on a system running Windows Server 2012. I installed the drivers from here (after choosing Windows 2012 for the operating system): http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Officejet-Pro-8610-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/53...

    First of all, I tried to install using the GUI (Setup.exe) but ran into an error indicating that the operating system was not compatible.

    I did some research and discovered that these drivers must be installed by using the command line and the command msiexec.exe. I tried to do it by using the following command-line (with administrator privileges): msiexec.exe /i PATHTOMSI

    However, when I do that, it gives me ALWAYS an error of incompatible operating system. Don't know what to do here.

    Here is a link to the Post on the HP Forum explaining the need for a command line install: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/installing-Pro-8610-Windows-server-2008rt-X64/m-p/426...

    Thank you.

    I ended up soliving this problem myself while tinkering around.

    I went through the process of adding a new printer through the devices window and printers.

    I said my printer was not listend so opted to manually configure a printer. I have created a new local port and he just called the name of the printer. He then invited for drivers. I chose the disc and then navigated to the folder where I had extracted the printer drivers. Selected this file and the drivers installed.

    This example gets the drivers installed in the system. Windows should then automatically recognize/install the printer if it is plugged.

    Mind you, I had to do that only for printing on a desktop connection remote. If you need the real HP software installed to print AND scan, this will not work for this.
