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 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 prompted to do so. NOTE: Ensure that the printhead and ink cartridges are in good condition and installed properly. For more information, see Work with ink cartridges.
