use the fax features

1Press Setup until 5:Maintenance appears. Press Enter.

2Press until 4:Reprint Faxes in Memory appears, and then press Enter.

use error correction mode

Error Correction Mode (ECM) eliminates data lost due to poor phone lines by detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or may even be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. Turn ECM off (the default setting is on) only if it increases phone charges substantially, and you can accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.

Follow these steps to change the error correction mode:

1Press Setup until 4:Advanced Fax Setup appears. Press Enter.

2Press until 7:Error Correction Mode appears, and then press Enter.

3Press to switch between Off and On.

4When the option that you want appears, press Enter.

detect faxes received from older machines (silent detect)

This feature enables you to receive faxes from older fax machines that do not emit a fax signal. These silent models represent less than 5% of fax machines in use.

Leave this setting off unless both of the following are true:

•You are having trouble receiving a fax from an older machine.

•Your answering machine is connected directly to your HP Fax.

1 Press Setup until 4:Advanced Fax Setup appears. Press Enter. 2 Press until 8:Silent Detect appears, and then press Enter. 3 Press to toggle between Off and On.

4 When the state that you want appears, press Enter.

Caution! The On setting causes the HP Fax to emit fax signals when a periodic silence is detected. This may increase the likelihood of fax interruptions during voice conversations.
