Hi @Cocoalena,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Yes, the HP OfficeJet 4650 All-In-One Printer is capable of receiving faxes. Here’s a basic guide on how to set it up to receive faxes.

Connect the Phone Line:

• Connect one end of the phone cord to the phone line port on the back of the printer (usually labeled "1-LINE").
• Connect the other end of the phone cord to a telephone wall jack.

Set Up Fax on the Printer:

• On the printer’s control panel, touch the Fax icon.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the fax setup. This may include entering the fax header (your name and fax number) and setting the answer mode (automatic or manual).

Configure Fax Settings:

• Go to Fax Settings in the printer’s control panel to configure various settings such as the number of rings before answering, distinctive ring patterns, and fax speed.

Test the Fax Setup:

• Send a test fax to a known working fax machine or use an online fax test service to ensure everything is configured correctly.
• To receive a test fax, ask someone to send you a fax or use a fax test service to send a fax to your machine.

Receiving Faxes:

• Ensure that your printer is powered on and connected to the phone line. If set to automatic mode, the printer will automatically receive faxes when they come in.
• If set to manual mode, you will need to press the Fax button on the control panel to receive the fax when the phone rings.

By following these steps, your HP OfficeJet 4650 All-In-One Printer should be able to receive faxes without any issues.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
