Change the pattern only if your phone service uses distinctive ringing. This phone- company feature (usually offered for an additional fee) allows you to have several phone numbers on the same line. Each number has a specific ring pattern. If you do not know what distinctive ringing is, your phone probably does not use it. If you do not have this service, leave your HP Fax set to use the default, All Rings.

If you connect your HP Fax to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another to fax calls (double or triple rings are best for a fax number).
