9 Use the fax features

You can use your HP All-in-One to send and receive faxes, including color faxes.

Note Before you begin faxing, make sure you have set up your HP All-in-One properly for faxing. For more information, see Fax setup.

This User Guide provides just a sampling of the fax features available to help you get started using your HP All-in-One to send and receive faxes. Explore the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your HP All-in-One software for information on all the fax features that your HP All-in-One supports. For example, the onscreen HP Image Zone Help provides information on scheduling a fax to send, broadcasting a fax to multiple recipients, and more. For more information on the HP Image Zone Help, see Use the onscreen Help.

Send a fax

You can send a fax in a variety of ways. Using the control panel, you can send a black- and-white or color fax from your HP All-in-One. You can also send a fax manually from an attached phone. This allows you to speak with the recipient before sending the fax.

If you frequently send faxes to the same numbers, you can set up speed dials. For more information on setting up speed dials, see Set up speed dialing.

Send a basic fax

You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white fax by using the control panel, as described here. If you want to send a color or photo fax, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

Note If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes. For more information, see Print fax confirmation reports.

Tip You can also send a fax manually from a phone or by using monitor dialing. These features allow you to control the pace of your dialing. They are also useful when you want to use a calling card to charge the call and you need to respond to tone prompts while dialing. For more information, see Send a fax manually from a phone or Send a fax using monitor dialing.
