Using remote retrieval

If you are away from your HP LaserJet 3100 product but would like to
retrieve your faxes, you can have them sent to a fax machine at your
present location. To use this feature, your HP LaserJet 3100 product
must be the one receiving faxes (not the computer) and must be set
to Automatic mode.

There are two parts to this procedure: setting up before you leave and
then retrieving the faxes once you arrive at the remote location. If
faxes are normally received to memory (not printed), then you do not
need to do the setup procedure.

Note

If this is the first time you have used remote retrieval, you must enable
the feature and set a password. See “Enabling remote retrieval and
setting a password” in chapter 8.
