Set up HP Digital Fax

With HP Digital Fax, the printer automatically receives faxes and saves them directly to
a network folder (Fax to Network Folder) or forwards them as email attachments (Fax
to Email).

NOTE: You can configure HP Digital Fax to use either Fax to Network Folder or to
use Fax to Email. You cannot use both at the same time.

NOTE: Fax to Email is only supported by HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and HP
Officejet Pro 8600 Premium.

Received faxes are saved as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or PDF files.

CAUTION: HP Digital Fax is available for receiving black-and-white faxes only.
Color faxes are printed instead of being saved.
