use the fax features

If you connect your HP PSC to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another to fax calls. We recommend that you request double or triple rings for a fax number.

1Verify that your HP PSC is set to answer fax calls automatically. For information, see set number of rings before answering on page 59.

2Press Setup.

3Press 4, then press 2.

This selects Advanced Fax Setup and then selects Answer Ring Pattern.

4Press to scroll through these options: All Rings, Single Rings, Double Rings, Triple Rings, and Double & Triple Rings.

5When the ring pattern that the phone company established for this number appears, press OK.

set the date and time

You can set the date and time from the front panel. When a fax is transmitted, the current date and time are printed along with the fax header. The date and time format is based upon the language and country/region setting.

Normally the computer software sets the date and time automatically.

Note: If your HP PSC loses power, you will need to reset the date and time.

1Press Setup.

2Press 3, then press 1.

This selects Basic Fax Setup and then selects Date and Time.

3Enter the month, day, and year (last two digits only) by pressing the appropriate number on the keypad.

The underline cursor presented initially beneath the first digit advances automatically to each digit each time you press a button. The time prompt automatically appears after you enter the last digit of the date.

4Enter the hours and minutes.

The AM/PM prompt automatically appears after the last digit of the time is entered if your time is displayed in the 12-hour format.

5If prompted, press 1 for AM or 2 for PM.

The new date and time settings appear on the front panel.

set the paper size

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

Note: If an incorrect paper size is loaded in the input tray when a fax is received, the fax will not print. Load letter, A4, or legal paper, and then press OK to print the fax.
