Send a fax manually from a phone
You can initiate a fax call from a telephone on the same phone line as your HP All-in-
One if you are more comfortable using the keypad on your phone, rather than using
the keypad on the control panel of your HP All-in-One. This method of sending a fax is
called manually sending a fax. When you send a fax manually, you can hear the dial
tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your telephone.
This makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might
answer the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the
phone, you can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine
answers the call, you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the
fax tones from the receiving fax machine.

Note
If you were speaking with the recipient before sending the fax,
inform the recipient that they should press Start on their fax machine after
they hear fax tones.
The telephone line is silent while the fax is transmitting. At this point, you can
hang up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient,
remain on the line until the fax transmission is complete.
