'Mobile Fax Settings' on HP Smart App

[Don1300]

I've set up an HP Tango X Printer and installed the HP Smart App on iPhone and Computer. I opted-in to the free trial of the Mobile Fax feature. 

On the 'Mobile Fax Settings' page, Under 'Receiving' , it's defaulted to "Auto-Print Received Faxes On". 

2 questions that I'm confused about:

• Is there a way to to set this auto-print feature to "Off"?  Also - 
• What number would senders of a fax to me even be using?? 

Any help is appreciated and forgive my ignorance if the answers are obvious and I'm just not figuring it out (quite possible).

What number?

Because the printer does not have a built-in fax component, the "receive number" is not relevant.

What if?

On a printer that does include a Fax,

• The User Guide includes a Fax How-to Chapter
• Setup instructions are included in that chapter

and

• The receiving phone number would normally be your land-line phone number.

========================================================================

What to do?

Receive Faxes

There are eFax services, both free and for subscription / purchase, to allow you to receive (and send) faxes.

Set your browser to search for "efax" , "fax without a fax machine" or similar.
