NOTE:
If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent,
enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes.
TIP:
You can also send a fax manually by dialing from a phone or by using the
monitor dialing feature from the control panel. These features allow you to control the
pace of your dialing. They are also useful when you want to use a calling card to
charge the call and you need to respond to tone prompts while dialing.
To send a basic fax from the control panel
1.
Load your originals print side up into the document feeder tray. If you are sending a
single-page fax, such as a photograph, you can also load your original print side down
on the glass.
NOTE:
If you are sending a multiple-page fax, you must load the originals in the
document feeder tray. You cannot fax a multiple-page document from the glass.
2.
Enter the fax number by using the keypad, press Speed Dial or a one-touch speed
dial button to select a speed dial, or press Redial/Pause to redial the last number
dialed.
TIP:
To add a pause in the fax number you are entering, press Redial/Pause,
or press the Symbols (*) button repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.
3.
Press Start Fax Black.
•
If the device detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder,
the HP All-in-One sends the document to the number you entered.
•
If the device does not detect an original loaded in the automatic document
feeder, the Fax from glass? prompt appears. Make sure your original is loaded
print side down on the glass, and then press 1 to select Yes.
TIP:
If the recipient reports issues with the quality of the fax you sent, you can
try changing the resolution or contrast of your fax.
