Fax isnt displaying the dial pad to send.

[Kelegyrl]

My fax machine always had a send now option to send a fax. Once pressed, the dialpad would display and you could type in the number to which you are faxing. Now, in it's place is a send and reveive option.when chosen, it does not display a dialpad. How can i send a fax without typing in a number?

@Kelegyrl, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Kindly send a picture of the screen you are referring to for better assistance.

Make sure the fax cable is connected to the printer and has a dial tone. It should be connected to the Line-1 port on the printer.

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
