Depending on how you set up your HP Officejet, you will either receive faxes automatically or manually. For more information, see set the answer mode on page 23.

Your HP Officejet is automatically set to print received faxes (unless you have turned the auto-answer feature off). If you receive a legal-size fax and your HP Officejet is not currently set to use legal-size paper, the unit automatically reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded (unless you disabled the automatic-reduction feature). For more information, see set automatic reduction in the onscreen User’s Guide.
