Send a standard fax

You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white or color fax by using the printer control panel.

NOTE: If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, fax confirmation must be enabled.

To send a standard fax from the printer control panel

1.Load the original print side up into the document feeder, or load the original print side down on the right front corner of the scanner glass.

2.From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.

3.Touch Send Now.

4.Enter the fax number by using the keypad.

TIP: To add a pause in the fax number you are entering, touch * repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.

5.Touch Black or Color.

If the printer detects an original loaded in the document feeder, it sends the document to the number you entered.

TIP: If the recipient reports issues with the quality of the fax, try changing the resolution or contrast of your fax.

Send a standard fax from the computer

You can fax a document directly from your computer without printing it first.

To use this feature, make sure you have installed the HP printer software on your computer, the printer is connected to a working telephone line, and the fax function is set up and functioning correctly.
