Tip

If the phone you are using is on the same phone line as your HP All-

in-One, but is not plugged into the "2–EXT" port on the back of the HP All-
in-One, you might not be close enough to your HP All-in-One to reach the
control panel. If you cannot reach the control panel, wait several seconds,
and then press 1 2 3 on your phone.
If the HP All-in-One does not begin receiving the fax, wait several more
seconds and press 1 2 3 again. After the HP All-in-One begins to receive
the fax, you can hang up the phone.
