receive a fax

Depending on how you set up your HP OfficeJet, you can receive faxes automatically or manually.

Your HP OfficeJet is automatically set to receive and 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 loaded with legal-size paper, the unit automatically reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded, unless you have disabled the automatic-reduction feature.

For more information, see set automatic reduction in the HP Photo & Imaging Help.
