Receive a fax manually – HP Officejet 6500 User Manual
Page 66
If you receive a legal-size fax and the device is not currently set to use legal-size paper,
the device reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled
the Automatic Reduction feature, the device prints the fax on two pages.
NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the
device memory until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages
stored in memory.

Receive a fax manually
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking with can send you a fax while
you are still connected. This is referred to as manual faxing. Use the instructions in this
section to receive a manual fax.
NOTE: You can pick up the handset to talk or listen for fax tones.
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:
•
Directly connected to the device (on the 2-EXT port)
•
On the same phone line, but not directly connected to the device
NOTE: The automatic document feeder must be empty to receive a fax. If there are
documents in the ADF, then the device will not be able to receive incoming faxes.
To receive a fax manually
1. Make sure the device is turned on and you have paper loaded in the input tray.
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.
NOTE: The automatic document feeder must be empty to receive a fax. If there
are documents in the document feeder, then receiving the fax will be
unsuccessful.
3. Do one of the following to answer a fax manually:
•
Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the
incoming call before the device answers.
•
Turn off the Auto Answer setting so that the device 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.
