Configure the fax header
The fax header prints your name and fax number on the top of every fax you send. HP recommends that you set
up the fax header by using the HP software provided with the printer. You can also set up the fax header from the
printer control panel, as described here.
NOTE: In some countries/regions, the fax header information is a legal requirement.
To set or change the fax header
1. From the Home screen, touch Settings.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Fax Header.
4. Enter your personal or company name and fax number, and then touch Done.
Set the answer mode (Auto answer)
The answer mode determines whether the printer answers incoming calls.
• Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the printer to answer faxes automatically. The printer
answers all incoming calls and faxes.
• Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to respond
in person to the incoming fax call or else the printer does not receive faxes.
To set the answer mode
1. From the Home screen, touch Settings.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Auto Answer, and then select On or Off.
Set the number of rings before answering
If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are
automatically answered.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the
printer, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the printer does. The number of
rings to answer for the printer should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to answer in the maximum
number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine
answers the call and the printer monitors the line. If the printer detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is
a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message.
To set the number of rings before answering
1. From the Home screen, touch Settings.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
3. Touch Rings to Answer.
4. Touch up and down arrows to change the number of rings.
5. Touch Done to accept the setting.
