Introduction
To use this scan feature, the product must be connected to a network. This
scan feature is not available until you configure it. To configure this
feature, use the Scan to Email Setup Wizard (Windows), which is installed in
the HP program group for the product as part of the full software
installation. You can also use the HP Embedded Web Server to configure this
feature. The following instructions describe configuring the feature by using
both the Scan to Email Setup Wizard and the HP Embedded Web Server.
Use the Scan to E-Mail Wizard (Windows)
Set up the Scan to Email feature via the HP Embedded Web Server (Windows)

A Cartridge is low or Cartridge is very low message displays on the product
control panel, and the product does not print.
NOTE: Toner level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning
purposes only. When an indicator shows low-toner levels, consider having a
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not
need to replace cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
Once an HP toner cartridge has reached “very low”, HP’s Premium Protection
Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.
You can change the way the product reacts when supplies reach the Very Low
state. You do not have to reestablish these settings when you install a new
toner cartridge.

product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while stopped.
For models with fax, when the product is set to the Prompt option there is
some risk that faxes will not print after the new cartridge is installed if
your product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection
Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended. All print defects or cartridge
failures incurred when an HP toner cartridge is used in Continue at very low

paper The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
Clean the pickup rollers and separation pad in the document feeder
The product does not pick up paper
If the product does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions. 1.
Open the product and remove any jammed sheets of paper. 2. Load the tray with
the correct size of paper for your job. 3. Make sure the paper size and type
are set correctly on the product control panel. 4. Make sure the paper guides
in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray. 5. Check the product control panel to
see if the product is waiting for you to acknowledge a prompt to feed
the paper manually. Load paper, and continue. 6. The rollers above the tray
might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened
with warm water.
The product picks up multiple sheets of paper
If the product picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these
solutions. 1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it
180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan
the paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray. 2. Use only paper that meets
HP specifications for this product. 3. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded,
or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package. 4. Make sure the
tray is not overfilled. If it is, remove the entire stack of paper from the
tray, straighten
the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray. 5. Make sure the
paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust
the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray. 6. Make sure the printing environment
is within recommended specifications.

Product does not pick up paper or misfeeds 95
The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the
paper guides to center the stack.
The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work
correctly. Make sure that the paper stack is straight and the guides are
against the paper stack.
The document feeder input tray or output bin might contain more than the
maximum number of pages. Make sure the paper stack fits below the guides in
the input tray, and remove pages from the output bin.
Verify that there are no pieces of paper, staples, paper clips, or other
debris in the paper path.
Clean the document-feeder rollers and the separation pad. Use compressed air
or a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with warm water. If misfeeds still
occur, replace the rollers.
From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the
Supplies button. Check the status of the document-feeder kit, and replace it
if necessary.
Clean the pickup rollers and separation pad in the document feeder
If the document feeder experiences paper-handling problems, such as jams or
multiple-page feeds, clean the document-feeder rollers and separation pad.
1. Lift the document-feeder input tray.
