Receive faxes to this computer
This feature of the HP Toolbox allows you to receive incoming faxes to the computer, rather than printing
them or forwarding them to another fax number.
NOTE If the host computer is turned off or disconnected from the HP LaserJet all-in-one product
when a fax is received, the fax is stored on the all-in-one product until the host computer is turned
on or reconnected to the HP LaserJet all-in-one product.
Laptop users must shut down and disconnect the computer instead of undocking from a docking
station. Laptop users cannot receive faxes when the laptop is undocked or not connected to the
device. The device stores the received faxes until the laptop is docked.
Follow these steps to enable the Receive faxes to this computer feature.
NOTE The Receive faxes to this computer option is available only on direct-connect
installations. For network installations, the Receive faxes to this computer option is disabled
and cannot be selected.
1 Open the HP Toolbox.
2 Click the Fax tab.
3 On the Fax Tasks screen, click the Receive faxes to this computer option, and then click OK.
4 Incoming faxes are uploaded to the computer where you can view them from the Fax Receive
Log screen. If your computer is turned off when faxes arrive, they are stored in the HP LaserJet all-
in-one product memory and are automatically uploaded to your computer when you turn it on again.
You can view only the faxes that are received by your computer, not those received by the HP
LaserJet all-in-one.
NOTE The Receive faxes to this computer option is not available with a network
installation.

icon. Some of the alert events include:
■ Cartridge or imaging drum low
■ Replace cartridge or imaging drum
