receive a fax
Depending on how you set up your HP PSC, you can receive faxes
automatically or manually. Your HP PSC is set to automatically print received
faxes unless you have selected No Answer for the Rings to Answer setting. For
more information on Rings to Answer, see set number of rings before answering
on page 59.
If you receive a legal-size fax and your HP PSC is not currently set to use legal-
size paper, the device automatically reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper
that is loaded. If you have disabled the automatic-reduction feature, the fax will
be printed on two pages. For more information, see set automatic reduction for
incoming faxes on page 68.
If you have an answering machine connected to the same line as your HP PSC,
you might need to set the number of rings required before the HP PSC begins
receiving the fax. The default number of rings before the HP PSC receives a fax
is 6 (varies by country/region). For more information on setting the number of
rings to answer, see set number of rings before answering on page 59.
You might also want to set up your HP PSC to answer fax calls manually if you
have a voice mail service through your phone company.
For information on setting up your HP PSC with other office equipment, such as
answering machines and voice mail, see fax setup on page 115.
Note: If you have installed a photo print cartridge for printing photos, you
might want to replace it with the black print cartridge when receiving faxes.
See work with print cartridges on page 80 for more information.
