Set the paper size for received faxes

You can select the paper size for received faxes. The paper size you select should
match what is loaded in your input tray. Faxes can be printed on letter, A4, or legal
paper only.

NOTE: If an incorrect paper size is loaded in the input tray when you receive a
fax, the fax does not print and an error message appears on the display. Load
letter, A4, or legal paper, and then press OK to print the fax.

To set the paper size for received faxes from the device control panel
1.
Press Setup.
2. Select Basic Fax Setup and then select Fax Paper Size.
3. Select an option, and then press OK.

Set automatic reduction for incoming faxes

The Automatic Reduction setting determines what the HP all-in-one does if it
receives a fax that is too large for the default paper size. This setting is turned on by
default, so the image of the incoming fax is reduced to fit on one page, if possible. If
this feature is turned off, information that does not fit on the first page is printed on a
second page. Automatic Reduction is useful when you receive a legal-size fax and
letter-size paper is loaded in the input tray.

To set automatic reduction from the device control panel
1.
Press Setup.
2. Select Advanced Fax Setup and then select Automatic Reduction.
3. Select Off or On.
4. Press OK.

Block junk fax numbers

If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block
specific fax numbers so the device does not print faxes received from those numbers.
When an incoming fax call is received, the device compares the number to the list of
junk fax numbers to determine if the call should be blocked. If the number matches a
number in the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not printed. (The maximum number
of fax numbers you can block varies by model.)
