1.Make sure the HP All-in-One is turned on and you have paper loaded in the input tray.

2.Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.

3.Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the incoming call before the HP All-in-One answers. Or, turn off the Auto Answer setting so that the HP All-in-One does not automatically answer incoming calls.

4.If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start on their fax machine.

5.When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following:

a.Press Start Fax Black or Start Fax Color on the control panel of the HP All- in-One.

b.When prompted, press 2 to select Fax Receive.

c.After the HP All-in-One begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone or remain on the line. The phone line is silent during fax transmission.

If you are not close enough to the HP All-in-One to reach the control panel, wait several seconds, and then press 1 2 3 on your phone. If the HP All-in-One does not begin receiving the fax, wait several more seconds and press 1 2 3 again.

Set up backup fax reception

Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP All- in-One to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.

The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available:

On	The default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the
	HP All-in-One stores all faxes it receives in memory. This
	enables you to reprint up to eight of the most recently printed
	faxes if they are still saved in memory.
	Note 1 When the memory gets low, the HP All-in-One
	overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If
	the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the HP All-in-One
	will stop answering incoming fax calls.
	Note 2 If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very
	detailed color photo, it might not be stored in memory due to
	memory limitations.
