and no answering machine.

 

incoming calls using the Rings to Answer

 

 

 

setting. See set the number of rings before

 

 

 

answering on page 27.

 

 

 

If the call is a fax call, the HP Fax will

 

 

 

receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the

 

 

 

HP Fax will create a special ring to

 

 

 

indicate it is a voice call. You will need to

 

 

 

answer the incoming voice call using the

 

 

 

handset.

 

 

 

Note: If the HP Fax determines the call

 

 

 

is a voice call, only the HP Fax will

 

 

 

ring with the special ring tone. The

 

 

 

other phones on the same phone line

 

 

 

will not ring at all. You will need to

 

 

 

answer the incoming voice call using
