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 1
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 2
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.

Fax
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.
