If you have an extension phone on the same line as your HP Fax you can
remotely start receiving a fax.
1. Answer the call on the extension phone.
2. Press
*9*
(manual fax receive code) in sequence when you hear a fax tone.
Your fax machine detects the code and starts to receive the document.
The default code is 9. You cannot change the asterisks but you can select
any number between 0 and 9. For more information, see
