receive a fax manually
Before manually receiving a fax, we recommend that you remove any originals
from your HP Officejet so that they are not accidentally processed.
Verify that Auto Answer is turned off.
1 When your HP Officejet rings, pick up the handset of a telephone that is on
the same telephone line as your HP Officejet.
2 If you hear fax tones, press Start Black or Start Color or, if you are
receiving from an extension phone (on the same telephone line as your
HP Officejet, but not connected directly to it), press 123 on your phone.
3 After you are finished, hang up the telephone.
view or print a fax at your computer
The Fax Log lets you view or print any fax that was received or was sent from you.
After you delete the fax data file from your computer, the entry appears in the
Log but you won’t be able to view or print the original fax.
Note: If you sent a fax from within an application, or if you scanned an
image and faxed it, you can view and print that fax. If you sent a paper fax
from the front panel of your HP Officejet, you will not be able to view and
print that fax because a fax data file was not saved for it.
