Set up the HP all-in-one to receive faxes
Your HP all-in-one can be set up to receive faxes automatically or manually,
depending on your home or office setup. If you set up the HP all-in-one to answer
faxes automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. If you set up the
HP all-in-one to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to
the incoming fax call, or your HP all-in-one cannot receive faxes. For more information
on receiving faxes manually, see
Receive a fax manually
.
In certain situations you might want to receive faxes manually. For example, if you
share a phone line between your HP all-in-one and phone and you do not have
distinctive ringing or an answering machine, you will need to set up the HP all-in-one
to answer fax calls manually. If you subscribe to a voice mail service, you will also
need to answer fax calls manually. This is because the HP all-in-one will not be able
to distinguish between fax calls and phone calls.
