HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500 - A909 - HOW DO I CLEAR FAX MEMORY IF FAX MEMORY FULL

HELP// WHILE I WAS RECEIVING ALARGE FAX, MY PAPER RAN OUT. DURING THE TIME IT TOOK ME TOREPLACE THE PAPER, THE MESSAGE FAX MEMORY FULL. CAN NOT RECEIVE FAX . WHAT CAN I DO ? NOW I CAN'T RECEIVE ANY NEW FAXES. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLEAR OR PRINT FROM MEMORY. SENIOR CITIZEN BLUES NOW IN EFFECT. I'VE FALLEN & I CAN'T GET UP, MENTAL  FATIGUE

Hello CLEONFOWLER,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to receive a fax and now a message appears stating fax memory full using the Officejet 8500 A909. I will do my best to assist you and hopefully the information I will provide is going to avoid mental fatigue.
I am going to recommend performing a hard reset on your printer which could clear the message fax memory full. Please leave your printer turned on> Disconnect the power cord out of the printer for more than 60 seconds.
Just to let you know, this will remove every fax in your memory. It will clear the message and you can start receiving faxes again. The fax you were trying to receive will have to be re-sent.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

       Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 is not an AirPrint printer, if that is what you're asking. HP has proprietary apps that may be suitable for your needs.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909

    I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 (909 that was working fine until I had to reload/refresh my PC operating system;  everytime I try to print I get an HP Printer error.  the printer still works fro my old computer; but, from my current computer which was recently refresh by Microsoft.  Using Windows 8.
    HP says they no longer support this model 

    Hi @ctdirections,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you are getting an HP Printer Error, when attempting to print from Windows 8 to your HP Officejet 8500 A909. I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
    If the printer can print from an old computer still, then I believe the issue must lie with the new computer somehow. So what I would suggest to do is the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Windows Firewall from start to finish.
    Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8).
    Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    We will start with these steps, and go from there!
    Hope this helps!

  • Officejet Pro 8500 Premier: How do I force the Copy function to use paper from Tray 2?

    I set the default tray to Tray 2 and locked Tray 1 to protect my envelopes and this works fine when printing from the computer. But when I copy a document using the START COPY button, the printer pulls from Tray 1 and complains about the media being the wrong size.
    When I use the printers control panel to set the Copy function to use Tray 2, it resets itself to Tray 1 the next time I copy something.
    Surely I am not the only one in the Universe who would want to configure my printer to do this.
    Has anyone else out there tried this?
    Also, is there a specific forum for the Officejet Pro 8500 series printers?

    Hi
    Hope you're still checking this
    I had the same problem but found that if you go to the copy menu through the touchscreen, change the tray to tray 2 and then scroll to the very bottom there is an option to "Set as new default". This also changes the default for the Start Copy buttons - at least it did for me anyway.
    Good luck

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Wireless - Can't Clear Print Que - Vista SP 1

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G Wireless printer which is set up wireless through a router.  Used to be able to print to this printer from any computer in the house except now.  I tried to print a document from my HP Pavilion laptop to the printer; it didn't print.  I tried multiple things, didn't work, so tried cancelling the document from the print que.  For 2 days now it has the print que has showed this document as "deleting", pages 6/2, shows date and time of request to cancel print job.  I went into Control Panel, right-clicked on the printer and chose "cancel all documents" and the print que still shows this document as deleting.  No ability to cancel printer job from the physical printer itself.  I've tried restarting the computer to see if it would clear the que; it doesn't.  Read through previous posts and tried several of the suggestions; nothing works.  Can no longer use this laptop to work and print.  HELP!  Vicki

    I have had to delete the printer, search for it again, and re-install it!

    I've tried downloading Windows 7 drives from HP but I still get and x saying isn't supported by this OS.  Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks

    Hi Duke515,
    Thanks for the reply!
    I can certainly understand why you'd think it's not meant to work, but it definitely should.
    There are drivers available for your operating system and the 8500 Wireless, so please click here to download said drivers and let me know if this seems to work or not.
    If not, please try downloading and running the HP Printer Install Wizard and let me know if it works.
    Hope this helps, have a good one!!

  • "Phone off-hook" HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless, Product CB023A

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer/fax/copier all in one.
    The message "phone off-hook" appears on my display. 
    I ran the Fax Test and received a PASS for all results.
    A few minutes later, a message appeared on the printer/fax display: "Turn power off, then on again". I did so.
    This message, "Turn power off, then on again" continues to repeat and after I turn power off then on, the "phone off-hook" displays again. It is an endless loop of receiving these two messages.
    I also did the following:
    1. Unplugged the telephone fax line from LINE of the Officejet Pro.
    2. Unplugged the power cord to the printer.
    3. Replugged the power cord to the printer.
    4. Powered up the printer
    5. After powering up, the message, "phone off-hook" reappears.
    I ran the fax test
    Run Fax Test:
    1. select Tools from HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless display panel.
    2. Select Run Fax Test
    Results:
    Fax Hardware Test ........................................................ PASS
    Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack ......... PASS
    Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax ........ PASS
    Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax ............. PASS
    Dial Tone Detection ....................................................... PASS
    Fax Line Condition Test ................................................ PASS
    3. The message still appears.
    My printer description is as follows:
    - Model No. : A909G (look inside of the ink access door); Regulatory Model No. : SNPRC-0703-02
    - Product No. : CB023A
    - Serial No. CN0737R2DH
    Is the printer defective? What should I do to correct this problem?
    Thanks,

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, CB023A, how to perform full-reset

    I own this printer since December 2009, during the first 15 months I had several problems/defects and also repairs and excange units. The problems continue on and in September 2011, in October 2011 and in November 2011 I got excange devices after repair attempts (one device was delivered without any function). The last device worked with one (?) (minor resp. accepted) problem until today resp. June 2014. ...this is the previous history ---> ---> I need sequence to perform full-reset on HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g ---> Please send procedure/sequence how to perform a full-reset on this printer - not hard reset nor semi-reset: full-reset !!! Please send this information without unnecessary questions about my problems: My only problem is to own such printer!

    Hello AlexBW,
    I received your private message and I thank you for writing me back.
    One other step that I think may assist us would be to please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Once you have the unit connected directly to a wall outlet, follow the instructions that  I provided in the private message.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thank you once again for your time.  It has been a pleasure working with you.

  • How can I Send a fax directly with HP Officejet Pro 8500

    Hello
    I have a printer of the type
    hp officejet 7100 series
    When I want to send a fax directly, a text document, for example, type it on the printer
    hp officejet 7100 series fax
    And converts it to a fax machine directly.
    Now I buy a new printer
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series
    I want to do the same work.
    But there is no print on the fax.
    I had to I do a print of the file manually and then sent through the printer
    I want to resolve the issue
    Send a fax directly

    Just to make sure, this is how the process of faxing from Word is supposed to work, in general terms:
    1
    Create and save a Word document. You'll need a saved file on your computer before you're able to fax it.
    2
    In Microsoft Word, you can use the Fax Wizard to fax your Word document if you have Word and an Internet connection capable of doing so.
    3
    Click "File," then "Send To," then "Fax Recipient." This should open up a Fax Wizard window separate from the window of the document.
    4
    Follow the onscreen instructions of the Fax Wizard. If your computer is not capable of sending faxes, the Wizard will indicate this.
    5
    Enter the file, recipients' names and numbers and information from your coversheet. Click "Finish" at the bottom of the window.
    6
    If your computer is for some reason not capable of using the Microsoft Fax Wizard, you'll need to download a different Internet fax program from the Web.

  • How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

    How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

    You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer.  The setup is done as part of the installation.
    Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed.  There is a video to assist - see below!
                                                               Install Printer Driver / Software
    If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues.  There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success. 
    You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.  For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
    If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software  -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System.  If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
    (Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
     Officejet Pro 8500 Series
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
    NOTE:  You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s).  The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool.  Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
    Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
    NOTE:  If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step.  During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software:  The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software.  Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in.  After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed.  Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
    Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
    Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTES: 
    If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates  - check Category  - Update.  The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
    You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware.  Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.
