HP Officejet 5605 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 71)

Receive a fax
Depending on the Auto Answer setting, your HP All-in-One can receive faxes
automatically or manually. If you have set the Auto Answer option to Off , you will
need to receive faxes manually. If the Auto Answer option is set to On (the default
setting), your HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls and receive faxes
after the number of rings specified by the
Rings to Answer setting. (The default
Rings to Answer setting is five rings.) For more information on Auto Answer , see
Set the answer mode .
Note If you installed a photo print cartridge for printing photos, you might
want to replace it with the black print cartridge when receiving faxes. See Use
a photo print cartridge .
Receive a fax manually
If you set up your HP All-in-One to receive faxes manually (the Auto Answer option is
set to Off ) or you answer the phone and hear fax tones, use the instructions in this
section to receive faxes.
1.
Make sure the HP All-in-One is turned on and you have paper loaded in the input
tray.
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.
3. If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press
Start on their fax machine.
4. When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following:
a.
Press Fax on the control panel of your HP All-in-One.
b. When prompted, press 2 to select Receive fax .
c. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone.
Tip If the phone you are using is on the same phone line as your HP All-
in-One, but is not plugged into the "2–EXT" port on the back of the HP All-
in-One, you might not be close enough to your HP All-in-One to reach the
control panel. If you cannot reach the control panel, wait several seconds,
and then press 1 2 3 on your phone.
If the HP All-in-One does not begin receiving the fax, wait several more
seconds and press 1 2 3 again. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive
the fax, you can hang up the phone.
Set up backup fax reception
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP All-
in-One to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device is in
an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
Note The HP All-in-One deletes all the faxes stored in its memory when you
turn off the HP All-in-One. You can also delete the faxes from memory by
clearing the fax log from the
Setup Menu , or changing the Backup Fax
Reception mode to Off . For more information, see the onscreen HP Image
Zone Help .
