Introducing Eclipse FAX SE Your HP OfficeJet LX includes a software application, Eclipse FAX SE, that allows you to send and receive faxes directly to your PC, rather than to the device itself, and to do PC scanning. Note: Eclipse FAX SE is a separate application from the HP OfficeJet LX Manager. Some of the settings that you can make with the HP OfficeJet LX Manager affect PC faxing (see "Reviewing the Device Settings" in chapter 2 for more information).
Running Eclipse FAX SE There are two ways to run Eclipse FAX SE. : : In the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar, choose File/Run Eclipse FAX SE. Or, double-click the Eclipse FAX SE icon in the HP OfficeJet LX program group, which is created during installation. The Eclipse FAX SE window appears (see the illustration under "Using the Eclipse FAX SE Help System," below). Note the menu bar across the top of the window.
Sending Faxes from Your PC With Eclipse FAX SE, you can create a document in any Windows application and then fax it from your PC. You can also fax a document to a file in order to use it later as a fax document (see "Faxing a Document to a File") and forward faxes you've received to other recipients (see "Forwarding a Fax"). Before sending a PC fax, you may want to create one or more Eclipse FAX SE phonebooks.
Preparing to Send a Fax (Send Setup) Before sending faxes from your PC, either from Windows or directly from Eclipse FAX SE, you may want to use Send Setup to change the Resolution or to modify the Cover Page Information that was entered during installation. Send Setup has one other setting, New Page Paper Size. For information about this setting, see "Setting the New Page Paper Size." You don't need to use Send Setup unless you want to change one or more of these settings.
Viewing the Eclipse FAX SE Cover Pages The examples below show the default cover pages available in Eclipse FAX SE. 1 4 2 5 3 1 Shadow 2 Roundbox 3 Halfpage 4 Notebox 5 Thinline The Eclipse FAX SE cover pages vary according to country. You can't view the cover pages available to you while you're sending a fax, so you may want to do this before using the procedures in this section. From the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, choose File/Open File. In the List Files of Type box, choose Cover Page (.
Sending a Fax from a Windows Application Follow these steps to fax a document from any Windows application except Eclipse FAX SE. Note: This procedure has many options.

See "Using Menus and Toolbars to View Faxes." Mark Up: Click this button if you want to add text to your fax before sending it.
If You Get a Busy Signal The Automatic Redial setting in the HP OfficeJet LX Manager controls whether or not fax numbers are redialed in the event of a busy signal, for both paper and PC faxes. The maximum number of automatic redials, and the intervals between them, vary from country to country. The rules below apply both to PC faxes that you send from other Windows applications, and to faxes sent directly from Eclipse FAX SE (see "Sending a Quick Note from Eclipse FAX SE," next).

Using Letterhead and Second Sheets in Faxes You can use Eclipse FAX SE to send faxes on versions of your own letterhead and second sheets. (Letterhead is used for the first page of a letter; the second sheet is used for the second and subsequent pages.) Fax documents will be electronically "printed" on top of your letterhead. If the top margin in a fax document isn't set with this in mind, the letterhead may overlay the first part of the fax.
Creating Letterhead and Second Sheets There are several ways of creating letterhead and second sheets. When you've completed one of the methods shown below, turn to "Saving Letterhead and Second Sheets Files in Eclipse FAX SE."

5. Printing & Copying Controlling the Appearance of Your Printed Documents You can change the printer settings in any of the four ways described below. Using your software application is the easiest and most recommended method. In general, settings made through your software application supercede settings made with the other three methods.
Using the Printer Control Panel for DOS Printing If you installed a printer driver for your DOS software application, you don't use the Quality or Font buttons. The settings in your software application will override the settings on the printer control panel. The printer control panel Quality and Font buttons are exclusively for the DOS printing features of the HP OfficeJet LX, not for faxing or copying, nor for printing from Windows Applications.

The fax number of the sending fax machine is displayed on the bottom line. No action is required. If you know who might have been sending the fax, contact them and ask them to resend it. Failed transmissions are most often caused by noise on the telephone line.
Has this meaning: And requires this action: Fax printing disabled The HP OfficeJet LX is out of ink. Incoming faxes will be received to memory until the print cartridge is replaced. Replace the print cartridge. Fax reception disabled The HP OfficeJet LX is unable to receive faxes due to one of the following error conditions: the print cartridge is out of ink or not installed, paper has jammed during printing, you're out of paper, the wrong size paper is loaded for fax reception, or the memory is full.
This message: Has this meaning: And requires this action: Memory full Press STOP The HP OfficeJet LX tried to store a document into memory before faxing it to multiple locations or at a future fax time. Either there's a received fax in memory waiting for an error condition to be corrected before it can be printed, or this document is too large to entirely fit into the memory of the HP OfficeJet LX. Press the Stop button. If there's an error condition to correct, it will be displayed.
Has this meaning: And requires this action: Open cover Load pen No print cartridge is loaded in the HP OfficeJet LX.

+ Solving Problems While Printing, Faxing, or Copying This section describes how to solve problems you might encounter while using the HP OfficeJet LX. Symptom: Lines or dots are missing from the characters in the printout. Cause: Solution: The connection between the print cartridge and cradle is intermittent. x Remove the print cartridge and reinstall it. Try printing again. You may need to repeat this before the ink resumes a continuous flow. OR OR 1. Remove the print cartridge.
Symptom: Cause: Solution: The print cartridge has dried ink on the "nose." The ink nozzles of the print cartridge are clogged. 1. Press the Clean Pen button and wait about 15 seconds while the ink nozzles are cleaned automatically. Then print the Self Test report (see instructions in chapter 2). Check the two print cartridge test patterns in the Self Test report.
Symptom: Cause: Solution: 3. Remove the print cartridge. Hold the print cartridge by the green top with the "nose" pointed upward. Place two drops of clean water on the gold rectangle on the "nose" of the print cartridge. After 60 seconds, gently remove the water from the print cartridge with a lint-free damp cloth. Then reinstall the print cartridge and try printing again. You may need to print a few pages before the ink resumes a continuous flow.
Symptom: Cause: Solution: I can't get the font size I want when printing from my DOS application. The HP OfficeJet LX does not support the use of font cartridges. Some DOS application printer drivers require that certain font styles are resident on the printer. The HP OfficeJet LX has various internal fonts available but cannot use additional fonts provided by HP DeskJet font cartridges. You must reformat your document using one of the internal fonts in the HP OfficeJet LX.
Cause: Solution: The date on the control panel display is incorrect. It says, "Nov-22-93 06:30 PM." The battery inside the HP OfficeJet LX has failed, causing all of the menu features to revert to their factory settings. Settings that contained alphabetic and numeric characters you entered (such as header name and number, speed dial names and numbers, etc.) have been erased. You can continue to operate your HP OfficeJet LX without the battery.
7. Troubleshooting Symptom: Cause: Solution: Eclipse Fax SE doesn't work on the PC. You may have previously installed a CAS fax modem that was not removed before Eclipse Fax SE was installed. Only one CAS modem can be used on a PC. Remove (delete) the software for the other CAS modem. Nothing happens when I try to print. If the HP OfficeJet LX printer doesn't respond when you try to print, it may be set to the wrong port.
Symptom: Cause: Solution: PC faxes quit during sending. It is possible that your PC is overloaded with activity like sending more than one fax at a time, or starting applications that take a long time. Try to reduce the activity on your PC while faxes are being sent or received. Faxes routed to the PC are printed instead. If the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is not running, faxes are printed on receipt. If your PC is too busy, faxes are printed on receipt.
Maintaining Your HP OfficeJet LX Use these guidelines to keep your HP OfficeJet LX in the best possible operating condition: 72̀6 : Print cartridges dry out and may become unusable when exposed to air, so: a) Keep the print cartridge in the print cartridge cradle at all times. b) Keep new print cartridges in their sealed packages at room temperature until you are ready to use them. c) Do not turn off the HP OfficeJet LX before printing is complete.
Changing the Print Cartridge Open the control panel, then the top cover as shown. Top cover Pull the print cartridge toward you until it re` leases and snaps forward. OJ-30 Control panel Lift the print cartridge out of its cradle. Open the new print cartridge box and container, then grasp the print cartridge by the green top and remove the cartridge from the container. Gently remove both pieces of tape - blue and white - covering the ink nozzles and vent hole.
Place the print cartridge down into the cradle as shown. Align the green arrow on the cartridge top with the green dot on top of the cradle. Push the green arrow toward the green dot until the cartridge snaps into place. OJ-42 OJ-43 Close the top cover, then close the control panel. Helpful Hint: Be sure to close the control panel firmly, until both corners snap into place.
