Poll to receive a fax
Polling allows the HP all-in-one to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in
its queue. When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the HP all-in-one calls the
designated fax machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine
must be set for polling and have a fax ready to send.
NOTE: The HP all-in-one does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass
codes are a security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a
pass code to the device it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the
device you are polling does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the
default pass code) or the HP all-in-one will not be able to receive the fax.
To set up poll to receive a fax from the device control panel
1. Press FAX and then select Poll to Receive.
2. Enter the fax number of the other fax machine.
3. Press START FAX Black or START FAX Color.
NOTE: If you press START FAX Color but the sender sent the fax in black
and white, the device prints the fax in black and white.
Forward faxes to another number
You can set up the device to forward your faxes to another fax number. A received
color fax is forwarded in black and white.
HP recommends that you verify the number you are forwarding to is a working fax line.
Send a test fax to make sure the fax machine is able to receive your forwarded faxes.
To forward faxes from the device control panel
1. Press Setup.
2. Select Advance Fax Setup, and then select Fax Forwarding Black Only.
3. Press the right arrow button until On-Forward or On-Print & Forward appears,
and then press OK.
•
Choose On-Forward if you want to forward the fax to another number without
printing a backup copy on the device.
NOTE: If the device is not able to forward the fax to the designated fax
machine (for example, if it is not turned on), the device prints the fax. If you
set up the device to print error reports for received faxes, it will also print an
error report.
• Choose On-Print & Forward to print a backup copy of your received fax while
forwarding the fax to another number.
4. At the prompt, enter the number of the fax machine that will receive the forwarded
faxes.
