Using Answer Pattern (Distinctive Ring Pattern)

Distinctive Ring is a service you subscribe to through your local telephone company (not all telephone companies provide this service). The telephone company will assign more than one telephone number to a single telephone line. Each telephone number is assigned a specific ring pattern. Ring patterns that are recognized by your HP Fax are single, double, triple, and double and triple.

If you have questions about how answer patterns work in your area, call your local telephone company.

Important! If you set a distinctive ring pattern, you will be unable to receive voice calls on that telephone number. The HP Fax will immediately answer that ring pattern with fax tones, ignoring all ring count settings. However, in FAX mode, the answering machine will pick up after 12 rings.
