Use the fax features

You can use your HP all-in-one to send and receive faxes, including color faxes. You
can set up speed dials to send faxes quickly and easily to frequently used numbers.
From the control panel, you can also set a number of fax options, such as resolution.

You should explore the HP Director that came with your HP Image Zone software to
take full advantage of all of its features. Using the HP Director, you can send a fax from
your computer, include a computer-generated cover page, and quickly set up speed
dials. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.
For information on accessing the HP Director and the onscreen help, see

Set up the HP all-in-one to receive faxes

Your HP all-in-one can be set up to receive faxes automatically or manually, depending
on your home or office setup. If you set up the HP all-in-one to answer faxes
automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. If you set up the HP all-
in-one to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to the
incoming fax call, or your HP all-in-one cannot receive faxes. For more information on
receiving faxes manually, see

Receive a fax manually

.

In certain situations you might want to receive faxes manually. For example, if you
share a phone line between your HP all-in-one and phone and you do not have
distinctive ringing or an answering machine, you will need to set up the HP all-in-one to
answer fax calls manually. If you subscribe to a voice mail service, you will also need to
answer fax calls manually. This is because the HP all-in-one will not be able to
distinguish between fax calls and phone calls.
