2. If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press

3. When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following:
a. Press the Fax button on the control panel of your HP All-in-One.
b. Press
until Receive Fax Manually is highlighted, and then press OK.

Tip If the phone you are using is on the same phone line as your HP All-
in-One, but is not plugged into the "2–EXT" port on the back of the HP All-
in-One, you might not be close enough to your HP All-in-One to reach the
control panel. If you cannot reach the control panel, wait several seconds,
and then press 1 2 3 on your phone.
If the HP All-in-One does not begin receiving the fax, wait several more
seconds and press 1 2 3 again. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive
the fax, you can hang up the phone.
Set up backup fax reception
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP All-
in-One to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device is in
an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
Note The HP All-in-One deletes all the faxes stored in its memory when you
turn off the HP All-in-One. You can also delete the faxes from memory by
clearing the fax log from the Setup Menu, or changing the Backup Fax
Reception mode to Off. For more information, see the onscreen HP Image
Zone Help.
The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available: On, On Error Only, and
Off.
● On is the default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the HP All-in-One
stores all faxes it receives in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of
the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory. For more
information, see Reprint received faxes from memory.
Note After the memory becomes full, the HP All-in-One overwrites the
oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full
of unprinted faxes, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
● On Error Only causes the HP All-in-One to store faxes in memory only if there is
an error condition that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing the faxes (for
example, if the HP All-in-One runs out of paper). The HP All-in-One will continue
to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory
becomes full, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.) When the
error condition is resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically and are
then deleted from memory.
● Off means that faxes are never stored in memory. (You might want to turn off
Backup Fax Reception for security purposes, for example.) If an error condition
occurs that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing (for example, the HP All-in-
One runs out of paper), the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
