!When no document is loaded, press the Rcv.Mode/Contrast button until AUTO, FAX, or TEL displays. If you are going to use the answering machine, we recommend setting the Receive mode to AUTO.

NOTE: If you want to use Distinctive Ring service from your phone company, set it up and select it using the Rcv.Mode/Contrast button before turning on the answering machine. See “Distinctive ring (DRPD)” on page 30.

AUTO

In Ready mode, AU appears in the right hand corner of the

mode

display.

 

When a call comes in, the machine answers it. If a fax is being

 

sent, the device receives the fax. If the HP Fax does not sense a fax

 

signal, it will ring in a different tone to tell you it may be a regular

 

telephone call. If you do not pick up the handset it will again

 

attempt to receive the fax after several more rings. If a greeting has

 

been recorded the HP 1050 Fax will turn on the answering

 

machine and attempt to record a message.

 

If you want to change the number of rings before it answers, see

 

Set rings to answer on page 27.
