Receive a fax
The HP All-in-One can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the
Auto Answer
option, you will need to receive faxes manually. If you turn on the
Auto
Answer
option (the default setting), the HP All-in-One automatically answers
incoming calls and receives faxes after the number of rings specified by the
Rings to
Answer
setting. (The default
Rings to Answer
setting is five rings.)
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
If you receive a legal-size fax and the HP All-in-One is not currently set to use legal-
size paper, the device reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded in the
HP All-in-One. If you have disabled the
Automatic Reduction
feature, the HP All-in-
One prints the fax on two pages.

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.
