Send a fax to multiple recipients from the device control panel

You can send a fax to multiple recipients at once by grouping individual speed dial entries into group speed dial entries.

Send a fax to multiple recipients using group speed dial

1.Load your originals. For additional information, see Load the originals.

2.Press Speed Dial repeatedly, until the appropriate group speed dial entry appears.

TIP: You can also scroll through the speed dial entries by touching the arrows, or you can select a speed dial entry by entering its speed dial code, using the keypad on the device control panel.

3.Press START FAX Black.

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 use group speed dial entries to send faxes only in black and white, because of memory limitations. The device scans the fax into memory, and 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.

Send a color original fax

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

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