Faxing
Using the all-in-one, you can send and receive black-and-white or 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.
If the all-in-one is directly connected to a computer, you can use the HP photo and imaging
software to perform fax procedures that are not available from the all-in-one control panel. See
Using the HP photo and imaging software for information about using the HP photo and
imaging software.

Sending faxes
A confirmation message indicating that a fax was successfully sent appears briefly on the
control-panel display after each transaction. By default, the all-in-one prints a report only when
a problem occurs. See Setting the automatic printing of fax reports if you want the all-in-one to
print a report after each fax that you send.
Note the following points about sending color faxes:
z To ensure the best quality when sending faxes in color, HP recommends that you use a
color original rather than a color copy, if possible.
z If you try to send a color fax to a black-and-white fax machine, the all-in-one sends the fax
in black and white.
z You cannot send a color fax to a group by using the speed-dial buttons on the control
panel. To fax in color to a group, send the fax from the computer. See Sending a fax from
the computer with the HP photo and imaging software (direct connection) for more
information.
z Color faxing can be restricted. See Allowing and restricting color faxing for more
information.
z Color faxing can be performed only on one-sided originals. Therefore, the only available
double-sided option for color faxes is 1-SIDED.
z The sending (transmission) options are not available for color faxing because color faxing
requires real-time transmission (that is, the faxes cannot be prescanned).
