Set up HP Digital Fax (Fax to PC or Fax to Mac)

Use Fax to PC and Fax to Mac to automatically receive

faxes and save faxes directly to your computer. With

Fax to PC and Fax to Mac, you can store digital copies

of your faxes easily and also eliminate the hassle of

dealing with bulky paper files.

In addition, you can turn off fax printing altogether

saving money on paper and ink, as well as helping

reduce paper consumption and waste.

Received faxes are saved as TIFF (Tagged Image File

Format). Once the fax is received, you get an on-screen

notification with a link to the folder where the fax is

saved.

For more information, see the onscreen User Guide

available after you install the software.

You must install the software before setting up

Fax to PC or Fax to Mac.
