Send a standard fax from the computer
You can send a document on your computer as a fax, without printing a copy and faxing it from the
printer.
NOTE: Faxes sent from your computer by this method use the printer’s fax connection, not your
Internet connection or computer modem. Therefore, make sure the printer is connected to a working
telephone line and that the fax function is set up and functioning correctly.
To use this feature, you must install the printer software using the installation program provided on
the HP software CD provided with the printer.
