set the date and time
You can set the date and time from the front panel. When a fax is transmitted,
the current date and time are printed along with the fax header. The date and
time format is based upon the language and country/region setting.
Normally the computer software sets the date and time automatically.
Note: If your HP PSC loses power, you will need to reset the date and time.
1 Press Setup.
2 Press 3, then press 1.
This selects Basic Fax Setup and then selects Date and Time.
3 Enter the month, day, and year (last two digits only) by pressing the
appropriate number on the keypad.
The underline cursor presented initially beneath the first digit advances
automatically to each digit each time you press a button. The time prompt
automatically appears after you enter the last digit of the date.
4 Enter the hours and minutes.
The AM/PM prompt automatically appears after the last digit of the time is
entered if your time is displayed in the 12-hour format.
5 If prompted, press 1 for AM or 2 for PM.
The new date and time settings appear on the front panel.
set the paper size
You can select the paper size for received faxes. The paper size selected should
match what is loaded in your input tray. Faxes can be printed on letter, A4, or
legal paper only.
Note: If an incorrect paper size is loaded in the input tray when a fax is
received, the fax will not print. Load letter, A4, or legal paper, and then
press OK to print the fax.

2 Press 3, then press 4.
This selects Basic Fax Setup and then Paper Size.
3 Press to highlight an option, and then press OK.
set tone or pulse dialing
You can set the dial mode for tone or pulse dialing. Most phone systems work
with either tone or pulse dialing. If you have a public phone system or a private
branch exchange (PBX) system that requires pulse dialing, you will need to select
Pulse Dialing. The default setting is Tone Dialing. Some phone system features
might not be accessible if pulse dialing is used. In addition, it can take longer to
dial a fax number with pulse dialing. Contact your local phone company if you
are unsure which setting to use.
Note: If your phone system does not require pulse dialing, we recommend
using the default setting of Tone Dialing.
