Reprint received faxes from memory

If you set the Backup fax mode to On, the received faxes are stored in memory, whether the device has an error condition or not.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten as new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the device does not receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.

Depending on the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to eight of the most recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example, you might need to reprint your faxes if you lost the copy of your last printout.

Poll to receive a fax

Polling allows the HP All-in-One to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its queue. When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the HP All-in-One calls the designated fax machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for polling and have a fax ready to send.
