send a fax manually from a telephone

Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient before you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are going to send them a fax before sending it.

You can send a fax manually by the handset or by using an extension phone that is directly connected to your HP Fax.

Note: The extension phone must be connected to the “2-EXT” port on the back of the HP Fax. For information on setting up your HP Fax with your phone, see fax setup on page 75.
