Use reports
You can set up the device 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 device.
By default, the device 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 HP Solution Center.
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low-ink or out-of-ink alert, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace
the ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
NOTE: Ensure that the ink cartridges and printheads are in good condition to
enable for report printing.
