6 Fax

You can use the device to send and receive faxes, including color faxes. You can schedule faxes to be sent at a later time and set up speed-dials to send faxes quickly and easily to frequently used numbers. From the device control panel, you can also set a number of fax options, such as resolution and the contrast between lightness and darkness on the faxes you send.

If the device is directly connected to a computer, you can use the HP Solution Center software to perform fax procedures that are not available from the device control panel. For more information, see Use the HP Solution Center (Windows).

NOTE: Before you begin faxing, make sure you have set up the device properly for faxing. You might have already done this as part of the initial setup, by using either the device control panel or the software that came with the device. You can verify the fax is set up correctly by running the fax setup test from the device control panel. To run the fax test, press Setup, select Tools, select Run fax test, and then press OK.

Many fax setups can be managed through the embedded Web server. For more information, see Embedded Web server.
