send a fax manually from a telephone
Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the
recipient before you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient
that you are going to send them a fax before sending it.
You can send a fax manually by using a phone that is directly connected to your
HP Officejet or by using the attached handset (HP Officejet 4250 Series only).
The phone must be connected to the “2-EXT” port on the back of the HP Officejet.
