Receiving Faxes

Depending on how you set up your HP Fax, you will either receive faxes automatically or you will need to receive faxes manually.

If you change your office equipment setup, be sure to update your fax settings (such as Rings to Answer) or you may not receive faxes properly.

Read Chapter 2 to set up your HP Fax for receiving faxes.

Choosing automatic versus manual fax receiving

Press the Answer Mode button on the front panel to switch between zautomatic and manual answering.

If Manual shows in the display, your HP Fax will not automatically answer incoming calls. You must answer fax calls manually using these steps.

1Make sure there are no documents in the front tray, or they may be faxed after the next steps.

2When the HP Fax rings, pick up the handset of a telephone that’s on the same telephone line as the HP Fax.

If you hear fax tones...

3a If you answered a phone plugged into the HP Fax, press Start.

3b If you answered an extension phone (one that’s not connected directly to the HP Fax), dial 123.

Now you can hang up the phone or stay on the line to talk after the fax finishes.

If Auto shows in the display, your HP Fax will automatically answer every call you receive at your fax number. If you have an answering machine, PC voice mail, or distinctive ring service, refer to Chapter 2 to learn about receiving faxes.

Tip! If you answer the phone and hear fax tones, simply hold the receiver until the HP Fax answers. The HP Fax “listens” to all calls to check for fax tones and will break in and receive the fax. When you hear the HP Fax connect, just hang up the phone.

Note: To change the number of rings before the HP Fax answers, refer to page 19.
