Send a standard fax from the computer

You can send a document on your computer as a fax, without printing a copy and faxing it from the

printer.

NOTE:

Faxes sent from your computer by this method use the printer's fax connection, not the

Internet connection or computer modem. Therefore, make sure the printer is connected to a working

telephone line and that the fax function is set up and functioning correctly.

To use this feature, you must install the printer software using the HP software CD provided with the

printer.

Open the document on your computer that you want to fax.

2.

On the File menu in your software application, click Print.

3.

From the Name list, select the printer that has “fax” in the name.

To change settings (such as selecting to send the document as a black fax or a color fax), click

the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this

button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
