Set up backup fax reception
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the HP All-
in-One 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.
Note
The HP All-in-One deletes all the faxes stored in its memory when you
turn off the HP All-in-One. You can also delete the faxes from memory by
clearing the fax log from the
Setup Menu
, or changing the
Backup Fax
Reception
mode to
Off
. For more information, see the onscreen
HP Image
Zone Help

HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One series
Fax
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 All-in-One
stores all faxes it receives in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of
the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory. For more
information, see
Reprint received faxes from memory
.
Note
After the memory becomes full, the HP All-in-One overwrites the
oldest, printed faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full
of unprinted faxes, the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
●
On Error Only
causes the HP All-in-One to store faxes in memory only if there is
an error condition that prevents the HP All-in-One from printing the faxes (for
example, if the HP All-in-One runs out of paper). The HP All-in-One will continue
to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory
becomes full, the HP All-in-One 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 All-in-One from printing (for example, the HP All-in-
One runs out of paper), the HP All-in-One will stop answering incoming fax calls.
Note
If
Backup Fax Reception
is enabled and you turn off the HP All-in-
One, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that
you might have received while the HP All-in-One 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,
containing a list of the numbers from which you have received faxes, is not
deleted when the HP All-in-One is turned off. For more information on the fax
log, see the onscreen
HP Image Zone Help
.)
