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.
