connect and use a phone with your hp fax

You can set up your HP Fax to answer fax calls either automatically or manually 

when connected to a phone. The recommended method is to set your HP Fax to 

receive fax calls automatically. If you rarely receive faxes, however, you may 

want to set up your HP Fax to receive fax calls manually. 

Note: When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in 

person to the incoming fax call, or your HP Fax cannot receive faxes.

to connect your hp fax to a phone 

1

Remove the white plastic stopper from connector 2 on the back of the 

HP Fax. 

connector 2 on the HP Fax

2

Connect the phone cord from the phone to connector 2. 
Caution! Do not use the phone cord that came with the HP Fax for 

this purpose. That phone cord must connect connector 1 on the 

HP Fax to the wall jack for your phone system. See the Setup Poster 

for details.

how answer fax calls automatically

`

Verify that Auto Answer is enabled. (The light next to Auto Answer is on 

when the feature is enabled. Press the Auto Answer button to turn the 

feature on or off.) When a fax call is received, the HP Fax will pick up and 

connect with the sending fax machine. Your fax will then be printed.
Note: If you pick up the phone before the HP Fax answers and hear fax 

tones, stay on the line until your HP Fax connects, and then hang up. Or, 

press 1 2 3 when you hear the fax tones to send the fax call immediately to 

the HP Fax. Once the HP Fax receives the fax call, the telephone will go 

silent. At this point, hang up your phone.
Note: After the HP Fax answers the fax call, any telephone connected 

directly to it will be temporarily disabled. This prevents any interruptions 

occurring during the fax.

how to answer fax calls manually

When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to 

the incoming fax call, or your HP Fax cannot receive faxes. See receive a fax on 

page 14 for more information. You can use either the telephone or the front 

panel to answer fax calls manually. Follow these steps:
1

Press the Auto Answer button to turn off the Auto Answer feature (the Auto 

Answer light will go off).

2

When your HP Fax rings, pick up the handset of a telephone that is on the 

same telephone line as your HP Fax.
