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.
The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available:
On
The default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the HP All-in-One
stores all faxes it receives in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight
of the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.
NOTE:
When the memory gets low, the HP All-in-One overwrites the
oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full
of unprinted faxes, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
NOTE:
If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color
photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.
On Error Only
Causes the HP All-in-One to store faxes in memory only if there is an error
condition that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing the faxes (for
example, if the HP All-in-One runs out of paper). The HP All-in-One will
continue to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If
the memory becomes full, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming
fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory
print automatically and are then deleted from memory.
Off
Means that faxes are never stored in memory. (You might want to turn
off Backup Fax Reception for security purposes, for example.) If an error

condition occurs that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing (for example,
the HP All-in-One runs out of paper), the HP All-in-One will stop answering
incoming fax calls.
NOTE:
If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and you turn off the HP All-in-One, all
faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have
received while the HP All-in-One was in an error condition. You will need to contact
the senders to ask them to resend any unprinted faxes. For a list of the faxes you
have received, print the Fax Log. The Fax Log is not deleted when the HP All-in-One
is turned off.
