Change settings on the HP All-in-One to receive faxes

HP All-in-One. If you are unsure which setting to choose for a specific fax option, refer to
the detailed fax setup instructions provided in the printed documentation.
This section contains the following topics:
Choose the recommended answer setting for your setup
The Auto Answer setting determines whether or not the HP All-in-One answers incoming
calls, as well as how many rings to wait before answering. The correct setting depends
on how your home or office is set up. For information on which setting to choose, refer to
the setup instructions for your specific case in the previous pages.
To set the Auto Answer setting
1. Press the button next to Scan/Fax.
2. Press the button next to Fax Menu.
3. Press the button next to Fax Setup.
4. Press the button next to the down arrow to highlight Auto Answer, and then press
the button next to OK.
5. Press the button next to the appropriate setting and then press the button next to
OK.
Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ringing
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have several
phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number will
have a different ring pattern. You can set up the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls
that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect the HP All-in-One to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone
company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP
recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the
HP All-in-One detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the call and receive the fax.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All
Rings.
