To receive a fax manually
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.
Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the incoming
call before the HP All-in-One answers. Or, turn off the Auto Answer setting so that
the HP All-in-One does not automatically answer incoming calls.
4.
If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start
on their fax machine.
5.
When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following:
a. Press Start Fax Black or Start Fax Color on the control panel of the HP All-in-
One.
b. When prompted, press 2 to select Fax Receive.
c. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive the fax, you can hang up the phone or
remain on the line. The phone line is silent during fax transmission.
