9 Troubleshooting and Maintenance

There are dark

streaks or lines on

sent faxes or the

image quality is

poor.

The scanner glass may be dirty.

Make a copy of the item you are faxing. If

the same problem appears, the scanner

glass may be dirty. See “Cleaning the

scanner path” in this chapter for cleaning

instructions.

If the copy is ok, try adjusting the

resolution and contrast on the fax and

resending. If the quality is still not good,

there may be a problem with the receiving

fax machine, such as it cannot receive

faxes at a high resolution.

The volume for

sounds coming

from the HP

LaserJet 3100

product is too high

or too low.

The volume setting needs to be adjusted.

See “Controlling sound volume” in chapter

8 for instructions on changing volume

settings.

Long pages aren’t

feeding.

The page may be longer than 39 inches

(991 mm).

Do not try to pull the page out because

you may damage the scanner. To remove

the page, see “Clearing jams from the

scanner area” in this chapter.

Then, rescan the page. When the scanner

reaches the 39 in (991 mm) mark, the

control panel displays

Long Page? START

to Continue

for a few moments only.

Quickly press

TART

to continue scanning.

If you do not, the message disappears

and the scanner stops scanning because

it thinks the page has jammed.

If you are sending a fax longer than 39 in

(991 mm), you can also use the “Sending

long pages” procedure (chapter 3). That

procedure ensures that long pages go

without having to monitor the task and

press Start before the scanner shuts off.

You receive this

software

message:

“JetSuite Fax has

detected that the

HP LaserJet 3100

is switched off or is

not connected to

the computer.”

Either the power cord for the HP LaserJet

3100 product or the parallel cable

between it and the computer is not

securely connected.

Check that the power cord is securely

connected between the HP LaserJet 3100

product and the power source. Then,

check that the parallel cable is securely

connected. After you have checked both,

click

Retry

. If you click

Cancel

, you will

not be able to receive faxes to or send

faxes from the computer until you start (or

restart) the JetSuite software or restart the

computer.
