Use reports

You can set up the printer to print error reports and confirmation reports automatically for each fax you send and receive. You can also manually print system reports as required; these reports provide useful system information about the printer.

By default, the printer is set to print a report only if there is a problem sending or receiving a fax. A confirmation message that indicates whether a fax was successfully sent appears briefly on the control panel display after each transaction.

NOTE: If the reports are not legible, you can check the estimated ink levels from the control panel or

the HP software. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels on page 73.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you

receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until the print quality becomes unacceptable.

NOTE: Ensure that the printheads and ink cartridges are in good conditions and installed properly.

For more information, see Work with cartridges on page 72.
