Send a standard fax from the computer
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 your 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 installation program
provided on the HP software CD provided with the printer.
