● The printer software is installed on the computer
● The computer operating system is supported by the printer
NOTE: The HP Fax software that came with the printer is the only computer fax program that can be used with
the printer. The printer is not compatible with fax software produced by other manufacturers.

instructions to download the latest HP software.
When prompted by the software installer, make sure you select HP Fax Software as one of the software

guides so they are snug against the paper.

processes the document in the document feeder and not the one on the scanner glass.
