use Error Correction Mode (ECM)
ECM eliminates data lost due to poor phone lines by detecting errors that
occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of
the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or may even be
reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases
sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably.
Turn ECM off (the default setting is on) only if it increases phone charges
substantially and you are willing to accept poorer quality in exchange for
reduced charges.

This setting determines what your HP PSC does if it receives a fax too large
