Set the answer mode

The answer mode determines whether your HP all-in-one answers incoming calls or not. If you set up the HP all-in-one to answer faxes automatically (the Auto Answer light is on), it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. If you set up the HP all-in- one to answer faxes manually (the Auto Answer light is off), you must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP all-in-one will not receive faxes. For more information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually.

If you do not know which answer mode to use, see Choose the recommended answer mode for your setup.

➔Press the Auto Answer button to set the answer mode.

When the Auto Answer light is on, your HP all-in-one automatically answers calls. When the light is off, your HP all-in-one does not answer calls.

Send a fax

You can send a fax in a variety of ways. Using the control panel, you can send a black- and-white or color fax from your HP all-in-one. You can also send a fax manually from an attached phone. This allows you to speak with the recipient before sending the fax.

You can even set up the HP all-in-one to send two-sided originals.

If you frequently send faxes to the same numbers, you can set up speed dials and quickly send faxes by using the Speed Dial button or a one-touch speed dial button. Review this section for more information on all the ways you can send faxes.

Send a basic fax

You can send a basic single- or multiple-page fax by using the control panel.

Note If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes. For information, see Enable fax confirmation.
