Reprint received faxes from memory

If you set the Backup Fax Reception mode to On, the received faxes are stored in
memory, whether the HP Fax has an error condition or not.

NOTE:

After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten as

new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the HP Fax does not
receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also
want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.

You can reprint the most recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example,
you might need to reprint your faxes if you lost the copy of your last printout.

To reprint faxes in memory from the control panel

Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.

Do one of the following:
•

Press Setup, select Tools, and then select Reprint Faxes in Memory.

•

Press Reports, and then select Reprint Faxes in Memory.

The faxes are printed in the reverse order from which they were received with the
most recently received fax printed first, and so on.

If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, press Cancel.

To delete all the faxes in memory from the control panel

Press Setup.

Select Tools, and then select Clear Fax Log.

NOTE:

All faxes stored in memory, including all unprinted or unsent faxes, are

deleted.

Poll to receive a fax

Polling allows the HP Fax to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its queue.
When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the HP Fax calls the designated fax machine
and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for polling and have
a fax ready to send.

NOTE:

The HP Fax does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass codes are a

security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a pass code to the
HP Fax it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the HP Fax you are polling
does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the default pass code) or the
HP Fax will not be able to receive the fax.
