Hints and help
In this section, find answers to commonly asked questions and
suggestions for getting the most out of your HP LaserJet 3100
product. See chapter 9, “Troubleshooting and Maintenance,” for a
more complete list of common fax quality and usage problems and
solutions.
What If...
I want to use more than one of the HP LaserJet 3100 product
functions at the same time? This product is specifically designed to
allow you to do many tasks simultaneously, such as print while
sending a fax.
Jobs also queue and wait until another job finishes. For example, if a
fax is being received while you are printing, the fax is stored in
memory and then prints automatically after the print job finishes. Or, if
an incoming fax is being printed, you can start sending an outgoing
fax. The outgoing fax is stored in memory and starts transmitting
when the phone line is available. Only in rare instances will the HP
LaserJet 3100 product run out of memory and cancel one job so it
can complete another.
See “Simultaneous tasking features” in appendix A for a complete list
of which features can be used at the same time.
A fax comes while I’m printing and the HP LaserJet 3100 product
is set to print faxes? When a fax is received during a print job, the
fax is stored in memory and printed after the print job finishes. In the
rare instance that the HP LaserJet 3100 product runs out of memory
while receiving the fax, it terminates the print job and prints the
incoming fax.

The HP LaserJet 3100 product runs out of toner while it’s
printing a fax and I’m not there? The HP LaserJet 3100 product
continues to print blank pages. However, the HP LaserJet 3100
product stores up to 10 of the most recently printed faxes. As soon as
possible, use the “Reprinting faxes” procedure earlier in this chapter
to try to reprint them.
The memory is full due to an error, such as out of paper, and
someone sends me a fax? The HP LaserJet 3100 product receives
faxes to memory until the memory is full. Once the memory is full, the
HP LaserJet 3100 product no longer answers calls, and the control
panel display shows any error conditions that need to be corrected.
After the error is corrected, the faxes in memory print automatically,
and the HP LaserJet 3100 product resumes answering calls.
If I pick up an extension phone and hear an incoming fax? Press
***
on the phone’s key pad and hang up. The HP LaserJet 3100
product begins receiving the incoming fax.
A paper jam occurs while a fax is coming in? The fax is received
to memory. As soon as you remove the jam, the HP LaserJet 3100
product reprints the jammed page and continues printing the rest of
the fax.
I need to dial an international number? You may want to dial using
manual dialing so you can listen for different tones. See “Using
manual dial” in this chapter.
I’m trying to dial a long fax number and it won’t let me dial all the
numbers? The maximum number of digits or characters that can be
entered into a fax number is 40.
