HP Laser Jet MFP M127fn Pro: How to send a fax using speed dial?

I have a new HP Laser Jet MFP M127fn Pro: how to send a fax using speed dial, I entered already numbers in the address book.

I'm embarrassed to say that I spent several hours trying to get the speed dial to work on a M127fn.  It turns out that there really no speed dial.  That's the conclusion of at least a HP tech that actually used the machine.  Another tech was able to describe a way to fax a phonebook entry, but it is quite too complicated to be called a speed dial.

[1] press the button settings (key).

[2] press the right arrow to access the phone book.

[3] press OK button.

[4] use the right or left buttons to reach the desired phone book entry.

[5] press the OK button to reveal the label for the entry, or "empty" if it is not set.

[6] press the OK button if the element is set to display the fax or dialing options.

[7] press FAX to initiate a fax to this phone book entry.

My users find it much easier to have their phone numbers pasted on the machine where they can connect looking them to instead scroll through menus, for the right option.

It seems that there is some sort of disconnect between hardware, firmware, and technical writers on this machine, because this ancient feature has been neglected, and the user guide is left to sputter on the issue.

  • HP Laser Jet MFP M127fw Pro: How can I enable send/receive faxes "On" or "OFF"?

    I just bought and installed an HP Laser Jet MFP M127fw Pro and I am really impressed so far! However, I can't figure out how to activate the fax answer simply 'on' or 'off', which is my preferred way of handling. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Hey @BWC3,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

    I understand that you're looking to configure the settings of your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw fax.  I would like to help.

    Here's what I recommend:

    • In the front panel of your printer, press Setup key
    • Touch Fax Setup
    • Touch basic settings
    • Tap Answer Mode
    • Here you can choose either Manual or Automatic.  'Manual' selected you are essentially turning the fax answer capacity off and "Automatic" would naturally be the setting 'on '.

    Let me know if you need help - I'm always happy to help you.

    Have a great weekend!

    I understand that you have a fax job that will not print from your printer Laserjet M127fw range. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. When done, remove the cable from the back of the printer's fax. Now:

    1. Click on the configuration icon that looks like a key.
    2. Click on Service.
    3. Click Fax Service.
    4. Click clear saved faxes.
    5. Connect the cable of the fax.

    Please let me know if this clears the stuck fax. If so, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • Color Laser Jet MFP M277dw Pro: frequently updated software

    I am the owner of a color Laser Jet MFP M277dw Pro. I get updates almost every week, and the software update is very strange. I'm clicking on the update system, it takes a lot of time to meet up with the text saying I'll remove the actual update or add another device. When I say no, thanks, I'll get a message saying that my update was successful (but only if I have to cancel this message). I don't understand why I have to go through this illogical question. Also, I don't understand why it is not necessary to update very frequently, especially when there is no explanation of the reason why.

    The two just exclamation points annoy me because I think that there must be a problem with the software, even if the printer works well.

    Greetings @ahw,

    Thank you access the Forums from HP Support for extra support! I see that you have problems with updates of window for the printer software. I'd love to help you.

    Given that the printer works, I would say to hide updates.

    A poster tried to show or hide updates and it solved their problem.

    You can also give your feedback to Microsoft, and if all goes well, they will release an update to correct the function of the operating system. You can learn how here; Updates and feedback.

  • Laser Jet MFP 127fw Pro

    I have a Laser Jet MFP Pro 127fw. I can scan by clicking on the icon to scan on my desk. Is there a way I can add an option to scan for the small screen on the printter where icons for 'Copy', 'Fax' and the 'Apps' icons appear? Or do I always have to run a scan directly from my PC?  Thank you.

    Hello @jvelazquez, thank you for this question! I will do my best to help you today.

    From what I understand you do all your scans of computer software. Ask yourself if you are able to download a scan icon on the front of the printer display panel.

    Here is a link to the user for your MFP HP LaserJet Pro 127fw guide. User's guide.

    From what I see, what you ask is not an option on this model. We hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience for you.

    Thanks a lot for your time! Can't wait to hear back on your part! Have a great week.

    1. load the document on the scanner glass according to the indicators on the product.

    2. close the scanner.

    3. on the product control panel, press the button number of Copies.

    4. Select the number of copies.

    5. press the black start copy button or the button color launch copy to start copying.

  • HP Color Laser Jet MFP M177fw Pro - Scanner Error 22

    I get the same Scanner Error 22 on the Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M177fw like many others have posted.  Tried uninstalling\reinstalling the software and tried the most common loading drivers but Scanner error prevented this piece of finish.  Support and I was told we would have to pay $49.95 for them to help us solve the problem.  We just bought this printer 5 weeks ago.  Is this all we can try?

    Thank you!

    Thank you for your response. This solution does not solve my problem. HP customer service had travelled me several tests (took about 20-25 minutes total) but ended up sending me a replacement printer. It arrived within two days and so far, the replacement works great. HP has also paid to have the original shipped in return. The process was fairly hassle.
