Set backup fax reception
The HP all-in-one stores all received faxes in memory. If there is an error condition
that prevents the HP all-in-one from printing the faxes,
Backup Fax Reception
allows
you to continue receiving faxes. During the error condition, with
Backup Fax
Reception
enabled, the faxes are stored in memory.
For example, if the HP all-in-one is out of paper and
Backup Fax Reception
is
enabled, all received faxes are stored in memory. After you load more paper, you can
print the faxes. If you disable this feature, the HP all-in-one will not answer incoming
fax calls until the error condition is resolved.
Error conditions, such as the following, may prevent the HP all-in-one from printing
faxes:
●
There is no paper loaded in the input tray
●
There is a paper jam
●
The print-carriage access door is open
●
The print carriage is stalled
During normal operation (whether
Backup Fax Reception
is
On
or
Off
), the HP all-in-
one stores all faxes in memory. After the memory becomes full, the HP all-in-one
overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If you want to delete all
the faxes in memory, turn off the HP all-in-one by pressing the
On
button.

Note
If
Backup Fax Reception
is
On
and there is an error condition, the HP all-in-
one stores the faxes it receives in memory as "unprinted." All unprinted faxes remain
in memory until they are printed or deleted. When the memory becomes full of
unprinted faxes, the HP all-in-one will not receive any more fax calls until the
unprinted faxes are printed or deleted from memory. For information on printing or
deleting faxes from memory, see
