Send a fax manually from a phone
You can make a phone call and talk with the recipient before you send your fax. This
method of sending a fax is called manually sending a fax. Sending a fax manually is
useful if you want to make sure the recipient is available to receive the fax before you
send it.
The phone must be connected to the "2-EXT" port on the back of the HP all-in-one. For
information on setting up your HP all-in-one with your phone, see
