send a color fax

You can send and receive color faxes to and from other color fax machines. If your HP Fax determines that the recipient has a black-and-white fax machine, it will send the fax in black and white.

We recommend that you use only color originals for color faxing. The color originals must be loaded in the ADF; you cannot send a color fax from memory using the Scan & Fax button or the group speed-dial features.

Follow these steps to send a color fax:

1Load your original in the ADF.

2Enter the fax number using the keypad, use one of the one-touch speed-dial buttons, or press Speed Dial until the desired speed-dial entry appears. (For more information on speed-dialing, see set up speed-dialing on page 15.)

3Press Start, Color.

scan a fax into memory before sending

Your HP Fax can scan a fax into memory before sending. This feature is useful if the fax number you are trying to reach is busy or temporarily unavailable. The originals are scanned into memory before sending, and once the HP Fax is able to connect, the fax is sent. This allows you to immediately remove the originals from the HP Fax once the pages are scanned into memory. The HP Fax can store up to 80 pages in memory (varies by model).

Note: You can only send a black-and-white fax.

Follow these steps to scan a fax into memory before sending:

1Load your original in the ADF.

For more information, see load originals on page 5.

2Press Scan & Fax.

3Enter the fax number using the keypad, using one of the one-touch speed-dial buttons, or by pressing Speed Dial until the desired speed-dial entry appears. (For more information, see set up speed-dialing on page 15.)

4Press Start, Black.

broadcast a fax to multiple recipients

Broadcasting a fax enables you to send a black-and-white fax to one speed-dial group, which can contain up to 20 individual speed-dial entries. The entire original must fit into the memory of your HP Fax, or the broadcast fax will not be successful.

Before you can broadcast a fax to multiple recipients, you must first set up group speed-dial entries. For more information, see set up speed-dialing on page 15.

Follow these steps to broadcast a fax to multiple recipients:

1Load your original in the ADF.

2Press Speed-Dial until the desired group speed-dial entry appears.

3Press Start, Black to begin faxing.
