I want to deactivate (no use for this) the Fax component of my Envy 7640 Printer.

[Sandgrass]

The fax component keeps opening a fax page to send a fax document.  It is interfering with the use of the printer, which is primarily what my needs are for the moment.    Since we do not use a home/business phone, I want to disable the Fax component totally.  Is this possible?        Thank you for any hints along this line.           Sandgrass

I've listed out a few steps for your ease:

Modify HP Digital Fax settings You can turn off HP Digital Fax and disable printing faxes from the printer control panel.

3. Touch Preferences , and then touch HP Digital Fax.

4. Select the setting that you want to change. You can change the following settings:
