send a color original or photo fax
You can fax a color original or photo from your HP Officejet. When sending a
color fax, if your HP Officejet determines that the recipient’s fax machine only
supports black-and-white faxes, the HP Officejet will send the fax in black and
white.
We recommend that you use only color originals for color faxing.

To load the original, do one of the following:

If you are faxing a photo, load the photo face down on the left front
corner of the glass. You can only fax a single page from the glass.
