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.
