Set the answer mode
The answer mode determines whether your HP all-in-one answers incoming calls or
not. If you set up the HP all-in-one to answer faxes automatically (the Auto Answer
option is set to Yes), it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. If you set up the
HP all-in-one to answer faxes manually (the Auto Answer option is set to Off), you
must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP all-in-one
will not receive faxes. For more information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a
fax manually.
If you do not know which answer mode to use, see Choose the recommended answer
mode for your setup.

2 Press 4, and then press 3.
This displays the Basic Fax Setup menu and then selects Auto Answer.
3 Press 1 to select On, or press 2 to select Off.
4 Press OK to accept the setting.
Send a fax
You can send a fax in a variety of ways. Using the control panel, you can send a black-
and-white or color fax from your HP all-in-one. You can also send a fax manually from
an attached phone. This allows you to speak with the recipient before sending the fax.
If you frequently send faxes to the same numbers, you can set up speed dials. Review
this section for more information on all the ways you can send faxes.
Send a basic fax
You can send a basic multiple-page fax by using the control panel.
Note If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, enable
fax confirmation before sending any faxes. For information, see Enable fax
confirmation.
Tip You can also send a fax using monitor dialing. This allows you to control the pace
of your dialing. This feature is useful when you want to use a calling card to charge
the call and you need to respond to tone prompts while dialing. For more
information, see Send a fax using monitor dialing.
