HP 4500 manual Forward faxes to another number, Set the paper size for received faxes

Chapter 5

NOTE: The HP All-in-One does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass codes are a security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a pass code to the device it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the device you are polling does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the default pass code) or the HP All-in-One will not be able to receive the fax.

To set up poll to receive a fax from the device control panel

1.Press left arrow or right arrow to select Black-and-white fax or Color fax, and then press OK.

2.Press right arrow until Fax Method appears, and then press OK.

3.Press right arrow until Poll to Receive appears, and then press OK.

4.Enter the fax number of the other fax machine.

5.Press Start.

NOTE: If you selected Color Fax but the sender sent the fax in black and white, the device prints the fax in black and white.

Forward faxes to another number

You can set up the device to forward your faxes to another fax number. A received color fax is forwarded in black and white.

HP recommends that you verify the number you are forwarding to is a working fax line. Send a test fax to make sure the fax machine is able to receive your forwarded faxes.

To forward faxes from the device control panel

1.Press Setup.

2.Press right arrow until Fax Settings appears, and then press OK.

3.Press right arrow until Fax Forwarding appears, and then press OK.

4.Press right arrow until On appears, and then press OK.

NOTE: If the device is not able to forward the fax to the designated fax machine (for example, if it is not turned on), the device prints the fax. If you set up the device to print error reports for received faxes, it will also print an error report.

5.At the prompt, enter the number of the fax machine that will receive the forwarded faxes, and then press OK.

Fax Forwarding appears on the device control panel display.

If the device loses power when Fax Forwarding is set up, it saves the Fax Forwarding setting and phone number. When the power is restored to the device, the Fax Forwarding setting is still On.

NOTE: You can cancel fax forwarding by pressing Cancel on the device control panel when the Fax Forwarding message is visible on the display, or you can select Off from the Fax Fwd, Black menu.

Set the paper size for received faxes

You can select the paper size for received faxes. The paper size you select should match what is loaded in your main tray. Faxes can be printed on letter, A4, or legal paper only.
