6500 fax and digital phone

Hi,
Is there any way to get the OfficeJet 6500 E709n to fax when connected to digital phone service? That seems to be the only stumbling block to my installation. I can't believe HP would offer an all-in-one that doesn't fax on digital service. Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.

OK. I have the same problem. But I have a 2140 fax machine and Time Warner digital phone. After 3 hours of repeated tech calls, I was told that HP fax machines do not work with digital phones, TW also said that they could not do anything, I had to call HP. HP said call TW. Can you help me too?
Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done here. Tech Support is right in saying that fax machines do not work with digital phones. It's just incompatible technology.

Airport and Digital Phone through Cable Company

I am trying to install Airport base extreme and my macs pick up the signal, but my internet connection fails. I ask my isp for help and they direct me to mac. I noticed in the user guide that it says that should not connect airport to cable modem that is also a digital phone. Anyone know why? Or how to correct this problem?
IMac and MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

First welcome to the discussions.
Let's start with Isp's will try to give the song and dance that they do not support MAC. (BUNK) The technology is exactly the same for PC or MAC.
Who is you service with?
They will furnish you with a MODEM.
You read the booklet that came with your Airport Extreme Base. It tells you to run an Ethernet Cable from your ISP's Modem to the WAN Port on the Airport Extreme Base.
Thats the port with the circle of dots. The other port the one with the 2 arrows pointing away from one another is the LAN port for a hardwired computer. Several users opt to plug into the LAN port and then use the Airport Setup Assistant and the the Airport Admin Utility to do the initial setup. Be sure you go to your Blue Apple upper left anfd then choose system preferences and then choose NETWORK. When this opens you have 3 choices Airport is for wireless, it must be highlighted with the green dot and drag it to the top of the list. Your other 2 options are Ethernet and Internal Modem for Dial-up.
Read the Booklet and take your time.
You may have to do a system reset, often just plugging in the ethernet cable is not enough to get up and running.
Make sure your network connection settings in Network are correct.
Pull the Power Adapter from the back of your ISP'S Modem and then do the same with the Airport Extreme Base and shut your computers OFF.
Wait 5 minutes and then in order.
1st Plug in the Power Adapter to your ISP's MODEM.
You must wait for it to establish the connection. (Normally 1 minute).
Next plug in the Power Adapter to the Airport Extreme Base. (ROUTER) Again you must wait the minute to acquire the signal. Now you can restart your computers.
Remember if you are going to be wireless your computers must be set in the network to wireless, by clciking the Airport Icon in the settings.

Hp4500 all in one printer and digital phone (Voip)

Help.
I just changed phone service from analogue to digital and don't know and cannot find instructions on how to connect the hp4500 to the phone line to allow for faxing. I have the two wire telepone cord connected to line one on the printer but where does the other end go and do I need a splitter or something. I know about the fax speed and turning off the error correction mode.

Hello Jen567,
Please take a look at this document, which provides steps, hints & settings to try, in order to have the best results possible, to fax over VoIP.
Please let me know if this helps resolve your issue.
Good luck!

How to use 8600 fax with a digital phone line?

Has anyone had any luck with setting up the HP Officejet Pro 8600 with a digital Phone line? I do not have an analog phone and of course that information was never brought to my attention when i bought the printer. I am a bit amazed that it does not work with both analog and digital.

Hi mboddeti, Here is a different link to the document.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02891758&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en If it still does not work, go to HP.com and search for c02891758 and it will find that document. Error codes are different though. The voice over IP line still could be the issue, but it is possible that something else is occuring.The document has instructions on how to test your fax setup with the HP faxback service. If it works with the test fax, it could be an issue with that particular receiving fax.

Setting up fax and voicemail on same phone line.

I have one phone line with voicemail and fax. How do I set up the fax so voicemail doesn't pick up my faxes and the fax doesn't pick up my voicemail messages? I have the fax and phone going through a splitter. I just discontinued my separate phone line I used for faxing and internet and want to use a single phone line for everything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Auntalee

If you have Verizon Home Voicemail (the kind you access by dialing a phone number i.e. no answering machine) I can't see how it would work.
Some fax machines can answer the phone listen for the fax tones and if it doesn't hear them it rings another phone or answering machine connected to it.
It comes down to something has to answer the phone, figure out what kind of call it is a route it to either a answering machine or a fax machine.
The only other way to do it with one line and Verizon voice mail is to get something called Distinctive Ringing service (if its available for Fios). You get another phone number but not another physical line. The one phone line rings differently for each number. The fax machine must then have the distinctive ring feature and be setup to only answer it's ring. The other ring it ignores which means VM will pick it up.
Good luck

BT and Java - Btl2Cap Connection (Mobile phone and Digital Pen)

Hi!
First a short Introduction:
For a project I have to stream data from Maxell Penit DP201(4.1) to a mobile device (over a midlet). Data Connection is built up over Bluetooth.
My Questions are: Is btl2cap the right method for connecting digital pen and mobile phone?
If yes, is the btl2cap string correct?
The pens device adress is 00-07-CF-56-05-5D
Does anyone know a sample application like this I want to program?
Structure;
package /
Midlet
Class extending thread
Here's the code:
public void run() {
    //Bluetooth
    //String connString = "btspp://0007808303AA:1;master=false";
    String connString = "btl2cap://localhost:0007cf56055d;ReceiveMTU=512;TransmitMTU=512";
    System.out.println(connString);
    try {
            LocalDevice local = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice( ) ;
// build ServiceRecord
            local.setDiscoverable(DiscoveryAgent.GIAC);
L2CAPConnectionNotifier service = (L2CAPConnectionNotifier)
Connector.open(connString);
ServiceRecord sr = local.getRecord(service);
// accept Connection
L2CAPConnection connection = (L2CAPConnection ) service.acceptAndOpen( );
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }Thanks to all who can help me to reach the next step in my project.
Best regards

Hi,
The reason for the compilation error is that the IDE is not able to find the jar file where bluetooth api is packed. try to put the jar file in lib directory of the project. Some IDE generates class files even though there are some compilation errors in java file.
So it is better to resolve compilation errors before putting it in the device.
The reason why the app freezes in the device is that you have not used a seperate thread to do the inquiry, try to use a thread where the inquiry will be done so that the apps main thread will respond to the user input.
Hope this help you.

Send and receive a FAX without a phone line

Is it possible to send and receive faxes without a phone line. Instead, can I use bluetooth and cell phone? Or, are there any other options?
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes/No. There are internet options, companies/programs that like internet phone dialers allow you to send faxes over the internet that end up calling actual phones. Most (if not all) charge a fee for this.
As for bluetooth/cellphone, you're better off sticking with internet options. You could use bluetooth if you had a bluetooth device setup to receive and convert but I'm not sure such advices exist and even if they did I'm not sure the value of them. It would be like sending from your laptop while standing next to a fax machine. Cell phones are possible if your phone allows connection via modem which only a handful do. Given a cellphone with modem support and an apple modem, its possible.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Wireless connectivity no longer available after TWC adds digital phone service

Hi All,
My problem is that my wireless Internet connectivity is no longer available after Time Warner Cable added digital phone service to my existing TV and broadband Internet service.
Prior to having the digital phone service added, my set up was a Motorola Surfboard cable modem connected to my Linksys WRT54G wireless router, with three computers (two Win XP desktops and one Win 7 laptop) wired to the Linksys router. I had wired Internet connectivity on all three computers. Importantly, I could also access the Internet wirelessly from the laptop instead of using a wire.
AFTER having the digital phone service added, my set up is the same except that now an Arris Touchstone Telephony Gateway (TG862G) has replaced the Motorola Surfboard cable modem. I still have wired Internet connectivity on all three computers. However, now I cannot access the Internet wirelessly from the laptop. This is a real problem in that often others in the house need access to the wireless network as well.
I should also mention that (from a wired connection) I cannot access the Linksys router any longer via 192.168.1.1. Now, the Linksys router seems to be "invisible," almost as though it were a pass-through device. I can access the Arris gateway at 192.168.0.1 (for what it's worth), but not the Linksys router.
Also, not sure this is important, but some time ago (when my wireless was working) I had configured the Linksys router so that it wouldn't broadcast the SSID. Through the Win 7 "Network and Sharing Center" I have tried to "manually connect" to my (hidden) wireless network. The message indicates that my hidden network already exists, but I still can't connect to it.
I've seen a few potential remedies involving power cycling the gateway and modem in certain sequences, setting the gateway's NAT mode to Bridged, etc., but nothing has worked so far. Time Warner Cable's only advice is for me to purchase (yet) another service so that the gateway can provide the wireless access, but I since my Linksys router worked before I'd rather stick with that method (and avoid yet another charge).
I would be very grateful for any help you could provide for this problem.
Thanks in advance.

1. Don't hide your SSIDs
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28653/debunking-myths-is-hiding-your-wireless-ssid-really-more-secure...
2. I assume the Arris is also a wireless router. Use inSSIDer to find the best non-overlapping, non-interfering wireless channels. Change the wireless channels on both the WRT54G and Arris if necessary.

If you wanted a camera, why not go for 9500! Serious point though there is the seperate phone / headset attachment you could use.

Incompatibility between JDK 1.4 and Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer

I have noticed an incompatibility between JPG files that are output from Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer and read in by JDK 1.4 (or 1.4.1). In particular, when an image is transfered from a digital camera to a Windows XP machine, then rotated and saved in the Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer, the resulting image file appears with corrupted colors when read and saved by the ImageIO class in JDK 1.4.
Here is my code:
     import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
     import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
     BufferedImage buffImg = ImageIO.read (new File ("in.jpg"));
     ImageIO.write (buffImg, "jpg", new File ("out.jpg"));
I have also output the file with graphics format PNG and seen similar apparent corruption of colors.
This is an image that was loaded onto Windows XP from a digital camera then rotated 90 degrees and saved with the Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer:
http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/verticalOrig.jpg
Here is the same image read and written by JDK 1.4 ImageIO.read() and ImageIO.write():
http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/verticalJavaOut.jpg
Note that the colors appear corrupted in the above image.
This is an image copied directly from a Sony Cybershot DSC - P71 digital camera:
http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/horizontalOrig.jpg
Here is the same image read and written by JDK 1.4 ImageIO.read() and ImageIO.write():
http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/horizontalJavaOut.jpg
It appears fine (brilliant tropical colors).
Note that both images contain the "EXIF" header, which is the JPEG-like format used by many digital cameras. Some may say that the JDK 1.4 spec does not support EXIF, but the image not touched by Windows XP was read successfully. And other image editing programs read in both successfully, such as PaintshopPro and the Mozilla 1.0 web browser. But there is a specific incompatibility with JDK 1.4.
I have reproduced this problem on Windows NT 4 and Red Hat Linux 7.3 using an image file that was saved on Windows XP.
Here is a warning from Nikon about the behavior of Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0112/01121402nikonxpwarnings.asp
Does anybody know a workaround?

This is scary and explains why some of my Exif headers are trashed.
I would guess the problem has something to do with XP not writing the file back out 100% true to the JPEG spec.
Really annoying that they do this. They think they can just hack up and change standards that are not their own. Take their FTP client in Windows XP. Talk about a broken client.
My suggestion is to dis-associate jpegs with XP's image and fax viewer. Instead associate them with Mozilla.

Hp Fax and voice calls mixed up

I have one phone which runs two lines (fax and calls) with two separate numbers, this line runs to the hp printer into "line 1" and the fax is currently set to the correct fax number and is programmed to pick up the fax after two rings. The problem is that when I receive a phone call, the call is being picked up by the fax after two rings and the fax machine is not recieving or sending faxes..... Hope that makes sense

Hi @Chrisdel83
It sounds like, you have 1 phone line, with 2 numbers, thus you are using distinctive ring. From your description, it seems to me the printer is not setup to detect only the distinctive rink, instead it is picking up every ring pattern. Please take a look at the following document to help resolve the issue; Using the Distinctive Ring Feature.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require additional assistance, thanks.

Does AirPort Express support fax and scanning?

From the AirPort information on the Apple website there does not appear to be any reference to support for multifunction wi-fi printers and specifically fax and scanning across a network. I see one image of the AirPort Express device that appears to have a phone line connected and that's all.

The USB port on the AirPort routers will only support a compatible printer.
So, if you have a compatible All-in-One device connected to the USB port on any of the AirPort routers, only the print function will work.
If you need to fax, copy, scan, perform maintenance, etc., you will need to connect the AIO device directly to your computer.

Connecting with Roadrunner w/ digital phone?

Hey guys,
I recently got a Macbook for my brother, and also bought the Airport Express. Now Time Warner gave us a new cable modem that has the integrated digital phone with it, but there is only one ethernet port, which goes to my PC. Do I need to buy a router with more ports to make this work? I tried connecting the airport via USB to my cable modem, but it didn't work. The light keeps flashing amber, but it seems that the Mac is reading the signal because when I unplug the airport, the signal goes away. Sorry if this issue has been addressed already, but I don't know how to resolve this. Thanks!

IrfaanSE801, Welcome to the discussion area!
If you need your PC to connect via Ethernet you will need a router with at least one LAN port. The AirPort Express alone can not connect to your cable modem and provide an Ethernet connection to your PC.
You choices are (pick one):
Replace the AirPort Express with an inexpensive 802.11b/g compliant wireless router (typically these have 4 or more LAN ports) or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). These will connect to your cable modem via Ethernet and provide an Ethernet port for your PC.
You would lose the Express' ability to stream music.
Get an inexpensive wired router. Connect your cable modem to this router. Then connect your PC and AirPort Express to the router. Configure the AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.
Get an inexpensive 802.11b/g compliant wireless router or the AEBS. Connect the cable modem and PC to the router. Place the AirPort Express near your stereo. Use the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode to configure the AirPort Express. Now you can stream music to your stereo.

Faxing And Address Book

Finder Help <keyword FAX> says "You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open."
Neither Mac Help nor Address Book Help say where to enter the fax number in AB. Fax Number is not one of fields into which one can enter data in AB. So where does the fax number go?
Thanks

At the Address Book menu bar, go to Address Book > Preferences and under the Template tab, select the green + sign at Phone to add a phone field. I believe the default field is Main. Select the pop-up next to Main to change it to home fax or work fax or you can add two phone fields - one for home fax and one for work fax.
When editing a contact in the Address Book or when adding a new contact, the fax field will be available to add a fax phone number for a contact.
