How do I access accessibility features on the printer?

The HP software is accessible for users with visual impairments or low vision by using your operating system’s accessibility options and features. The software also supports most assistive technology such as screen readers, Braille readers, and voice-to-text applications. For users who are color blind, colored buttons and tabs used in the HP software have simple text or icon labels that convey the appropriate action. For users with mobility impairments, the HP software functions can be executed through keyboard commands. The HP software also supports Windows accessibility options such as StickyKeys, ToggleKeys, FilterKeys, and MouseKeys. The printer doors, buttons, paper trays, and paper-width guides can be operated by users with limited strength and reach.

What should I do if the “Fax Hardware Test” failed?

  • Turn the printer off by pressing (the Power button) located on the front left side of the printer and then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. After a few seconds, plug the power cord in again, and then turn the power on. Run the test again. If the test fails again, continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this section.

Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack. After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready for faxing. If the Fax Hardware Test continues to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact HP support. Go to http://www.support.hp.com . This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.

What should I do if the “Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack” test failed?

  • Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the printer to make sure the phone cord is secure.
  • Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled on the back of the printer.
  • If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
  • Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the printer and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and have them check the line.
  • Try to send or receive a test fax. If you can send or receive a fax successfully, there might not be a problem. After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready for faxing.

What should I do if the “Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax” test failed?

If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.

  1. Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled on the back of the printer. NOTE: If you use the port labeled to connect to the telephone wall jack, you cannot send or receive faxes. The port labeled should only be used to connect other equipment, such as an answering machine.
  2. After you have connected the phone cord to the port labeled, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready for faxing.
  3. Try to send or receive a test fax.

What should I do if the “Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax” test failed?

What should I do if the “Dial Tone Detection” test failed?

  • Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be causing the test to fail. To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run the test again. If the Dial Tone Detection Test passes without the other equipment, then one or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece of equipment is causing the problem.
  • Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the printer and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and have them check the line.
  • Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled on the back of the printer.
  • If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
  • If your telephone system is not using a standard dial tone, such as some private branch exchange (PBX) systems, this might cause the test to fail. This does not cause a problem sending or receiving faxes. Try sending or receiving a test fax.
  • Check to make sure the country/region setting is set appropriately for your country/region. If the country/region setting is not set or is set incorrectly, the test might fail and you might have problems sending and receiving faxes.
  • Make sure you connect the printer to an analog phone line or you cannot send or receive faxes. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones. Connect the printer to an analog phone line and try sending or receiving a fax. After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready for faxing. If the Dial Tone Detection test continues to fail, contact your telephone company and have them check the phone line.

    • If the Fax Line Condition Test passes without the other equipment, then one or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece of equipment is causing the problem.
    • If the Fax Line Condition Test fails without the other equipment, connect the printer to a working phone line and continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this section.
  • If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.)

If the Fax Line Condition test continues to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact your telephone company and have them check the phone line.

What should I do if the display always shows “Phone Off Hook”?

  • HP recommends using a 2-wire phone cord.
  • Other equipment that uses the same phone line as the printer might be in use. Make sure extension phones (phones on the same phone line, but not connected to the printer) or other equipment are not in use or off the hook. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send email or access the Internet.

    how do you resize a picture and where can i get the information for this. where in the manual

    1. Anonymous

      It looks like the only page in this manual that talks about resizing is on page 65 and says: “To make a large copy of a small original, scan the original into the computer, resize the image in the
      scanning software, and then print a copy of the enlarged image.”
