HP (Hewlett-Packard) 8600 All in One Printer User Manual


 
6 Fax
You can use the printer to send and receive faxes, including color faxes. You can
schedule faxes to be sent at a later time and set up speed-dials to send faxes quickly
and easily to frequently used numbers. From the printer control panel, you can also set
a number of fax options, such as resolution and the contrast between lightness and
darkness on the faxes you send.
NOTE: Before you begin faxing, make sure you have set up the printer correctly
for faxing. You might have already done this as part of the initial setup, by using
either the control panel or the HP software provided with the printer. You can verify
the fax is set up correctly by running the fax setup test from the control panel. For
more information on the fax test, see
Test fax setup.
