Understand paper use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause poor print quality,
increased jams, and premature wear on the product.
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do
not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend
the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.
Store paper in the original package to prevent exposing the paper to moisture and other damage. Do
not open the package until you are ready to use the paper.
It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.

Special paper guidelines
This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory
results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in the printer driver

Scan by using other software
The product is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The product
works with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant scanning
devices and with Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant scanning devices.
While you are in a TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to the scanning
feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see the Help file or
the documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.
Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program
Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as Acquire, File
Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the
program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help
or documentation.
When scanning from a TWAIN-compliant program, the HP LaserJet Scan software program might start
automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan program starts, you can make changes while previewing the
image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the TWAIN-compliant program
immediately.
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
Scan from a WIA-compliant program
WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft Word. WIA
uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of HP LaserJet Scan software.
Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant if it has a command such as Picture/From
Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is WIAcompliant, see the software program Help or documentation.
Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
-OrIn the Cameras and Scanner folder, double-click the product icon. This opens the standard Microsoft

Scan settings
Scan file format
The default file format of a scanned document or photo depends on the scan type as well as the object
being scanned.
●

Scanning a document or a photo to a computer results in the file being saved as a .TIF file.

●

Scanning a document to e-mail results in the file being saved as a .PDF file.

●

Scanning a photo to e-mail results in the file being saved as a .JPEG file.

NOTE: Different file types can be selected when using the scan software program.

Scanner resolution and color
If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected
a resolution or color setting in the scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and
color affect the following features of scanned images:
●

Image clarity

●

Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)

●

Scan time

●

File size

Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).
NOTE: Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.
Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. You can adjust the
scanner hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software can perform an enhanced resolution up
to 19,200 ppi. You can set color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of
gray or color) to 24 bit (true color).
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple tips that you can follow to meet your scanning
needs.
NOTE: Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up disk space
and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how you are going to
use the scanned image.

The factory-set default resolution setting is Fine.
Use this procedure to change the default resolution for all fax jobs to one of the following settings:
●

Standard: This setting provides the lowest quality and the fastest transmission time.

●

Fine: This setting provides a higher resolution quality than Standard that is usually appropriate
for text documents.

●

Superfine: This setting is best used for documents that mix text and images. The transmission time
is slower than the Fine setting but faster than the Photo setting.

Receive fax settings
Set fax forwarding
You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at
your product, it is stored in the memory. The product then dials the fax number that you have specified
and sends the fax. If the product cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is
busy) and repeated redial attempts are unsuccessful, your product prints the fax.
If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it terminates the incoming fax and only
forwards the pages and partial pages that have been stored in the memory.
When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the product (rather than the computer) must be receiving
the faxes, and the answer mode must be set to Automatic.

TAM: The product does not automatically answer the call. Instead, it waits until it detects the fax
tone.

Chapter 10 Fax (M1210 Series only)

●

Fax/Tel: The product answers incoming calls immediately. If it detects the fax tone, it processes
the call as a fax. If it does not detect the fax tone, it creates an audible ring to alert you to answer
the incoming voice call.

number of times the telephone rings before the product answers an incoming call.
ENWW

Set fax settings

119

If the product is connected to a line that receives both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and that also
uses an answering machine, you might need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. The number of ringsto-answer for the product must be greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This
allows the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a message if it is a voice call.
When the answering machine answers the call, the product listens to the call and automatically
answers it if it detects fax tones.
The default setting for rings-to-answer is five for the U.S. and Canada, and two for other countries/
regions.
Use the following table to determine the number of rings-to-answer to use.
Type of telephone line

Recommended rings-to-answer setting

Dedicated fax line (receiving only fax calls)

Set to a number of rings within the range shown on the
control-panel display. (The minimum and maximum number of
rings allowed varies by country/region.)

One line with two separate numbers and a ring-pattern
service

One or two rings. (If you have an answering machine or
computer voicemail for the other telephone number, make sure
that the product is set to a greater number of rings than the
answering system. Also, use the distinctive-ring feature to
differentiate between voice and fax calls.)

Shared line (receiving both fax and voice calls) with only an
attached telephone

Five rings or more.

Shared line (receiving both fax and voice calls) with an
attached answering machine or computer voicemail

Set distinctive ring
Ring-pattern or distinctive-ring service is available through some local telephone companies. The service
allows you to have more than one telephone number on a single line. Each telephone number has a
unique ring pattern, so that you can answer voice calls and the product can answer fax calls.
If you subscribe to a ring-pattern service with a telephone company, you must set the product to answer
the correct ring pattern. Not all countries/regions support unique ring patterns. Contact the telephone
company to determine if this service is available in your country/region.
NOTE: If you do not have ring-pattern service and you change the ring-pattern settings to something
other than the default, All Rings, the product might not be able to receive faxes.

Use autoreduction for incoming faxes
If the fit-to-page option is turned on, the product automatically reduces long faxes up to 75% to fit the
information on the default paper size (for example, the fax is reduced from legal to letter size).
If the fit-to-page option is turned off, long faxes print at full size on multiple pages. The factory-set
default for incoming fax autoreduction is On.
If you have the Stamp faxes option turned on, you might also want to turn on autoreduction. This
reduces the size of the incoming faxes slightly, and prevents the page-stamp from forcing a fax onto
two pages.
NOTE: Make sure that the default media size setting matches the size of the media that is loaded in
the tray.

Use fax on a DSL, PBX, or ISDN system
HP products are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. They are not
designed to work on DSL, PBX, ISDN lines, or VoIP services, but they might work with the proper setup
and equipment.
NOTE: HP recommends discussing DSL, PBX, ISDN, and VoIP setup options with the service provider.
The HP LaserJet product is an analog device that is not compatible with all digital phone environments
(unless a digital-to-analog converter is used). HP does not guarantee that the product will be compatible
with digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.

DSL
A digital subscriber line (DSL) uses digital technology over standard copper telephone wires. This
product is not directly compatible with digital signals. However, if the configuration is specified during
DSL setup, the signal can be separated so that some of the bandwidth is used to transmit an analog
signal (for voice and fax) while the remaining bandwidth is used to transmit digital data.
NOTE: Not all faxes are compatible with DSL services. HP does not guarantee that the product will
be compatible with all DSL service lines or providers.
The DSL modem requires a high-pass filter. The service provider typically provides a low-pass filter, for
normal telephone wiring.
NOTE: Contact the DSL provider for more information or for assistance.

PBX
The product is an analog device that is not compatible in all digital phone environments. Digital-toanalog filters or converters may be needed for faxing functionality. If faxing issues occur in a PBX
environment, it might be necessary to contact the PBX provider for assistance. HP does not guarantee
that the product will be compatible with digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.
Contact the PBX provider for more information and for assistance.

ISDN
Contact the ISDN provider for more information and for assistance.

Use fax on a VoIP service
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services are often not compatible with fax machines unless the
provider explicitly states that it supports fax over IP services.
If the product experiences problems getting a fax to work on a VoIP network, verify that all cables and
settings are correct. Decreasing the fax-speed setting might allow the product to send a fax over a VoIP
network.
If faxing problems continue, contact the VoIP provider.

Fax memory
Fax memory is retained when there is a loss of power
The flash memory protects against data loss when a power failure occurs. Other fax devices store fax
pages in either normal RAM or short-term RAM. Normal RAM immediately loses data when power is
lost, while short-term RAM loses data about 60 minutes after a power failure occurs. Flash memory can
maintain its data for years without power applied.

Sent faxes are not arriving at the receiving fax machine.
Cause

Solution

The originals might be incorrectly loaded.

Verify that the original documents are correctly loaded into the
document feeder.

A fax might be in memory because it is waiting to redial a
busy number, other jobs that are ahead of it are waiting to be
sent, or the fax is set up for a delayed send.

If a fax job is in memory for any of these reasons, an entry for
the job appears in the fax log. Print the fax activity log and
check the Status column for jobs that show a Pending
designation.

The control panel shows a low-memory error.
Cause

Solution

The fax might be too large, or the resolution might be too
high.

Try one of the following:
●

Divide a large fax into smaller sections, and then fax
them individually.

●

Clear stored faxes to make more memory available for
outgoing faxes.

●

Configure the outgoing fax as a delayed fax, and then
verify that it will send completely.

●

Make sure that the product is using the lowest resolution
setting (Standard).

Faxes are transmitting very slowly.
Cause

Solution

The fax might be very complex, such as one with many
graphics.

Complex faxes take longer to be sent or received. Breaking
longer faxes into multiple jobs and decreasing the resolution
can increase the transmission speed.

The receiving fax machine might have a slow modem speed.

The product sends the fax only at the fastest modem speed
that the receiving fax machine can accept.

The resolution at which the fax was sent might be very high.

To send the fax, lower the resolution and resend the fax.

The telephone line might be experiencing line noise.

Hang up and resend the fax. Have the telephone company
check the telephone line.
If the fax is being sent via a digital phone line, contact the
service provider.

The fax cord might not be securely connected.

Verify that the fax cord is securely connected between the
telephone jack and the product (or another device that is
connected to the product). Press 1-2-3 in sequence, wait for
three seconds, and then hang up.

The product dialing mode might be incorrectly set, or the
extension phone might be incorrectly set.

Verify that the product dialing mode is set to Tone. Verify that
the extension phone is set up for tone dialing as well.

The product is not answering incoming fax calls.

ENWW

Cause

Solution

The answer mode might be set to Manual.

If the answer mode is set to Manual, the product does not
answer calls. Start the fax-receiving process manually.

The rings-to-answer setting might not be set correctly.

Check the rings-to-answer setting to verify that it is set
properly.

The answer-ring pattern feature might be turned on, but you
do not have the service, or you do have the service and the
feature is not set correctly.

Check the answer-ring pattern feature to verify that it is set
properly.

The fax cord might not be correctly connected, or the fax cord
is not working.

See the getting started guide to check the installation. Verify
that you are using the fax cord that came with the product.

The product might not be able to detect incoming fax tones
because the answering machine is playing a voice message.

Re-record the answering machine message, leaving at least
two seconds of silence at the beginning of the message.

Too many devices might be connected to the telephone line.

Do not attach more than three devices to the line. Remove the
last device that was connected and determine whether the
product works. If not, continue removing devices one at a time
and retry after removing each one.

The product is not answering incoming fax calls.
Cause

Solution

A voice-messaging service might be interfering with the
product as it attempts to answer calls.

Do one of the following:

The product might be out of paper and the memory is full.

●

Disable the messaging service.

●

Get a telephone line that is dedicated to fax calls.

●

Set the product answer mode to Manual. In manual
mode, you must start the fax-receive process yourself.

●

Leave the product set to automatic mode and lower the
rings-to-answer setting for the product to a number less
than the rings-to-answer setting for the voice mail. The
product will answer all incoming calls.

Refill the media input tray. Press the OK button. The product
prints all of the faxes it has saved in memory and then
resumes answering fax calls.

Faxes are not printing.
Cause

Solution

The media input tray is empty.

Load media. Any faxes that are received while the input tray
is empty are stored in memory and will print after the tray has
been refilled.

The receive-to-PC option might be selected, and faxes are
being received by the computer.

Check to determine whether the computer is receiving faxes.

The product has encountered an error.

Check the control panel for an error message.

Faxes are printing on two pages instead of one.
Cause

Solution

The autoreduction setting might not be set correctly.

Turn on the autoreduction setting.

The incoming faxes might have been sent on larger media.

Adjust the autoreduction setting to allow larger pages to be
printed on one page.

Received faxes are too light, are blank, or have poor print quality.

150

Cause

Solution

The product ran out of toner while printing a fax.

The product stores the most recently printed faxes. (The
amount of memory that is available determines the actual
number of faxes stored for reprinting.) As soon as possible,
replace the print cartridge, and then reprint the fax.

The fax that was sent was too light.

Contact the sender and have the sender resend the fax after
altering the contrast settings.

supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under
these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.

longer acceptable. When the supply has reached this condition, the HP Premium Protection warranty
for that supply has ended.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few
minutes.

Clear jams
When clearing jams, be careful not to tear jammed paper. If a small piece of paper remains in the
product, it could cause additional jams.

Common causes of jams
●

The input tray is loaded incorrectly or is too full.
NOTE: When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the entire stack. This helps prevent multiple feeds and reduces media jams.

●

The media does not meet HP specifications.

●

The product might need to be cleaned to remove paper dust and other particles from the paper
path.

Loose toner might remain in the product after a media jam. This toner clears up after a few sheets print.
CAUTION: If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will

countries/regions, states or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty,
so the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights
and you might also have other rights that vary from country/region to country/region, state to state, or
province to province.
HP's limited warranty is valid in any country/region or locality where HP has a support presence for

Customer self-repair warranty service
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and
allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period,
HP identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part
directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self
repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and
labor costs of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also
designed for Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be
done at no additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will
help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a
defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP,
you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business
days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping
material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a
customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to
be used.

Repack the product
If HP Customer Care determines that your product needs to be returned to HP for repair, follow these
steps to repack the product before shipping it.
CAUTION: Shipping damage as a result of inadequate packing is the customer’s responsibility.
1.

Remove and retain the print cartridge.
CAUTION: It is extremely important to remove the print cartridge before shipping the product. A
print cartridge that remains in the product during shipping can leak and cover the product engine
and other parts with toner.
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, avoid touching the roller on it, and store the print
cartridge in its original packing material or so that it is not exposed to light.

240

Remove and retain the power cable, interface cable, and optional accessories, such as an EIO
card.

If possible, include print samples and 50 to 100 sheets of paper or other print media that did not
print correctly.

In the U.S., call HP Customer Care to request new packing material. In other areas, use the
original packing material, if possible. Hewlett-Packard recommends insuring the equipment for
shipment.
