Manual: The user must press the Start Fax button or use an
extension phone (press buttons 1-2-3 on the extension phone) to make the product answer the incoming call.
TAM: A telephone answering machine (TAM) is attached to
the Aux phone port of the product. The product will listen for fax tones after the answering machine has picked up the call-and pick up a call if fax tones are detected.
Fax/Tel: The product will automatically pick up all calls and
determine if the call is a voice or fax call. If the call is a fax call, the product handles the call as an incoming fax. If the incoming call is detected as a voice call, the product will generate an audible synthesized ring to alert the user of an incoming voice call.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need to enable them manually.
For more information, go to
UPD installation modes
Traditional mode
Dynamic mode
www.hp.com/go/upd.
Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.
When installed from the CD that comes with the product, UPD operates like
traditional printer drivers. It operates with a specific product.
If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each computer and
for each product.
To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See
upd.
Dynamic mode allows you to use a single driver installation, so you can
discover and print to HP products in any location.
Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup.

Understand paper use

This product supports a variety of paper and other print media. Paper or print media that does not meet the following guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the product.
It is possible for paper to meet all of these guidelines and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or
