Send a basic fax
You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white fax by using the device

enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes.
TIP: You can also send a fax manually from a phone or by using monitor dialing.
These features allow you to control the pace of your dialing. They are also useful

tone prompts while dialing.
NOTE: The Speed Dial and Redial buttons are only available with the HP
