Set rings to answer

You can select the number of rings that will occur before the fax answers an incoming call. If you are using your machine as both a telephone and a fax machine, we suggest you set the ring count to at least 4 to give you time to answer.

TIP: HP 1050 Fax: The Toll Saver function for the Digital Message Center interacts with Rings to Answer. See Toll Saver on page 40. If you have the HP 1050 Fax and have Toll Saver turned on, set the RIngs to Answer to 2.

1.Press Menu repeatedly until BASIC FAX displays and press Start/Enter.

Rings to Answer will display.

2.Press Start/Enter.

3.Enter the number of rings you want (2–7) and press Start/Enter.

The HP Fax rings the set number of times and then answers. It then produces a different sounding ring to alert you to which type of call is incoming.

• The additional ring may occur once for a fax call
