3.Press the left arrow or right arrow until the appropriate group speed dial entry appears.

TIP: You can also select a speed dial entry by entering its speed dial code using the keypad on the device control panel or you can press the Speed Dial button repeatedly (HP Officejet J4660 only).

4.Press Start.

If the device detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, it sends the document to each number in the group speed dial entry.

NOTE: You can only use group speed dial entries to send faxes in black and white, because of memory limitations. The device scans the fax into memory then dials the first number. When a connection is made, it sends the fax and dials the next number. If a number is busy or not answering, the device follows the settings for Busy Redial and No Answer Redial. If a connection cannot be made, the next number is dialed and an error report is generated.

You can fax a color original or photo from the device. If it determines that the recipient's fax machine only supports black-and-white faxes, the fax is sent in black and white.

HP recommends that you use only color originals for color faxing.
