The HP All-in-One can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn on the Auto
Answer
option by setting the number of rings to wait, the HP All-in-One automatically
answers incoming calls and receives faxes. If you turn off the Auto Answer option, you
will need to receive faxes manually.

NOTE:

If you receive a legal-size fax, the HP All-in-One reduces the fax so that it

fits on the paper that is loaded in the input tray. If the fax size is so large that it requires
more than a 60% reduction, the HP All-in-One might print the fax on more than one
page.

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.
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:

Directly connected to the HP All-in-One (on the 2-EXT port)

On the same telephone line, but not directly connected to the HP All-in-One

To receive a fax manually

1.

Make sure the product is turned on and you have paper loaded in the input tray.

2.

Make sure the Auto Answer setting is set to Don't answer or to a higher number of
rings so that you are able to answer the call before the product answers.

3.

If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start
on their fax machine.
You will hear fax tones from a sending fax machine.
