Send a fax manually from a phone
You can make a phone call and talk with the recipient before you send your fax. This
method of sending a fax is called manually sending a fax. Sending a fax manually is
useful if you want to make sure the recipient is available to receive the fax before you
send it.
The phone you use to make the call must be connected to the "2-EXT" port on the
back of the HP All-in-One. For information on setting up your HP All-in-One with your
phone, see
