HP Officejet Pro 8500A - Manual (Page 81)

TIP: Support for traditional fax transmission over any Internet protocol telephone
systems are often limited. If you experience problems faxing, try using a slower fax
speed or disabling the fax error-correction mode (ECM). However, if you turn off
ECM, you cannot send and receive color faxes. (For more information about
changing the fax speed, see Set the fax speed. For more information about using
ECM, see Send a fax in Error Correction Mode.
If you have questions about Internet faxing, contact your Internet faxing services
support department or your local service provider for further assistance.
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, the HP software (Windows), or HP Utility (Mac OS X). For more
information, see Printer management tools.
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 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 ink cartridges.

Print fax confirmation reports
If you require printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, follow these
instructions to enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes. Select either On
(Fax Send) or On (Send and Receive).
The default fax confirmation setting is Off. This means that a confirmation report is not
printed for each fax sent or received. A confirmation message indicating whether a fax
was successfully sent appears briefly on the control-panel display after each
transaction.
