Fax Set up backup fax reception Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP Fax 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 Fax 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 Fax overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the HP Fax 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 Fax to store faxes in memory only if there is an error condition that prevents the HP Fax from printing the faxes (for example, if the HP Fax runs out of paper). The HP Fax will continue to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the HP Fax 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 Fax from printing (for example, the HP Fax runs out of paper), the HP Fax will stop answering incoming fax calls. Note If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and you turn off the HP Fax, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received while the HP Fax 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 Fax is turned off.

Reprint received faxes from memory If you set the Backup Fax Reception mode to On, the HP Fax stores faxes it receives in memory, whether the device has an error condition or not. Note After the memory becomes full, the HP Fax overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the HP Fax will not receive any more fax calls until you print or delete the faxes User Guide 45
