• Introduction
• Before you begin
• Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS)
• Step two: Set up Fax Archive
• Step three: Set up Fax Forwarding
• Step four: Complete the setup

Use the Fax Archive and Forwarding page to configure settings for archiving and forwarding faxes on the printer control panel.

Use the Fax Archive settings to send a copy of all incoming and outgoing faxes to an email address, a network folder, or an FTP server.

Use the Fax Forwarding settings to send a copy of all incoming and outgoing faxes to another fax number.

The fax feature must be configured on the printer to archive and forward faxes.

Connect the fax cable to the fax port on the printer and to the phone port on the wall.

Administrators need the following information before beginning the configuration process:

• •

  Administrative access to the printer

• •

  DNS suffix (e.g., companyname.com)

• •

  SMTP server (e.g., smtp.mycompany.com)

  

  NOTE:If you do not know the SMTP server name, SMTP port number, or authentication information, contact the e-mail/Internet service provider or system administrator for the information. SMTP server names and port names are typically found by doing an Internet search. For example, use terms like "Gmail SMTP server name" or "yahoo SMTP server name" to search.

• •

  SMTP server authentication requirements for outgoing e-mail messages, including the user name and password used for authentication, if applicable.

1. 1.

   From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Network button to display the IP address or host name.

2. 2.

   Open a Web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name of the printer exactly as it displays on the printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.

   

   

   NOTE:If the Web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe, select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.
