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.
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 one or all of the
most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.
Note 1
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.
Note 2
If you receive a fax that is too large, such a very detailed color
photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.
●
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.
Note
If
Backup Fax Reception
is enabled and you turn off the HP All-in-
One, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that
you might have received while the HP All-in-One was in an error condition.
You will need to contact the senders to ask them to resend any unprinted
faxes. For a list of the faxes you have received, print the
Fax Log
. The
Fax
Log
is not deleted when the HP All-in-One is turned off.
