By default, your HP Officejet automatically receives and prints incoming faxes.

Depending on your Answer Mode setting, the HP Officejet can receive faxes automatically or manually. For more information on Answer Mode, see set the answer mode on page 44.

You can receive faxes manually from the following:

•A phone directly connected to the HP Officejet (on the “2-EXT” port)

•A phone that is on the same telephone line, but not directly connected to the HP Officejet
