Rings To Answer

You can select the number of rings before answering an incoming call. If you

 

are using your machine as both a telephone and a fax machine (AUTO or

 

TAM mode), we suggest you set the ring count to at least 4 (HP 1040) or 2

 

(HP 1050 with Toll Saver turned on) to give you time to answer.

 

The number of rings can be 2 to 7.

 

 

Caller ID

You can see the number of the person calling you. Before using this feature,

 

Caller ID service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone

 

company.

 

The settings are On, On w/ Junk Fax, and Off. For more information, see

 

Use Caller ID on page 28.

Set Junk Fax No. If you have Caller ID set to On w/ Junk Fax, you can block faxes from particular numbers. You must have received a fax from that number to block it. Even though you have added junk fax numbers, if you turned off the Caller ID option above, the Junk Fax protection will be removed. The settings are Add and Delete.

Print Quality

Allows you to set the print quality to Normal or Draft.

 

 

Paper Size

A4, Letter and Legal are the paper sizes you can use to receive faxes and

 

copy.

 

 

Sending Confirm

A confirmation report shows whether the transmission was successful or not,

 

how many pages were sent, etc.

 

ON: prints a confirmation report automatically each time you send a fax.

 

OFF: never prints a confirmation report (You can print one manually using the

 

Report/Help button (see Print reports on page 51).

 

ERROR: prints only when an error occurs.

 

Note that this report can include the Image TCR (see Image TCR on page 29).

 

 

Image TCR

Image TCR prints a sending confirm page with a miniature image of the first

 

page of the fax.

 

 

Auto Reduction

When receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper loaded, the

 

machine can reduce the data to fit your paper. If the fax machine cannot fit the

 

data into one page with the feature enabled, the data is divided and printed

 

in actual size on two or more sheets. The settings are On and Off.
