Make sure the HP All-in-One is turned on and you have paper loaded in the input tray. 2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray. 3. Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow you to answer the incoming call before the HP All-in-One answers. Or, turn off the Auto Answer setting so that the HP All-in-One does not automatically answer incoming calls. 4. If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct the sender to press Start on their fax machine. 5. When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, do the following: a. Press Start Fax Black or Start Fax Color on the control panel of the HP All-in- One. b. When prompted, press 2 to select Fax Receive. c.

NOTE: When the memory gets low, the HP All-in-One overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes.

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.)
