Answer/receive mode

If you have this service follow both of these instructions in this order to set it up and use it.

Step 1—Teach the HP Fax the ring pattern

The HP Fax will learn the ring pattern when you call it from another telephone or fax machine.

1.Be ready to call the fax machine.

2.Press Menu repeatedly until BASIC FAX displays and press OK.

3. Use

to scroll through the options until DRPD Mode displays and press OK.

Call this fax from another fax machine... Waiting Ring...

will display.

4.Call the HP Fax.

DRPD OK will display when the pattern has been learned and the HP Fax will return to Ready mode.

Step 2—Set up distinctive ring (DRPD) answer mode

Once you have activated distinctive ring, it becomes one of the answering modes you can select by pressing the Mode/Contrast button.

SPress Mode/Contrast repeatedly until DRPD Mode appears in the display.

In Ready mode, DRPD appears in the right hand corner of the display.

Now, the HP Fax will manage calls and faxes as if it were set to AUTO mode (AUTO mode on page 28)

TIP: Distinctive ring must be set up again if you reassign your fax number or connect the machine to another telephone line. Once set up again (that is, the fax machine has learned the ring pattern and the answering mode is correctly set), you should test the fax machine by calling the fax number and another number on the same line. The machine should respond appropriately to a call placed to the fax number with fax tones, and to a normal telephone call with the expected ring pattern.

Answer/receive mode

How the product receives faxes depends on the answer/receive mode you chose when you set up the product. You can send faxes in any answer/receive mode. The answer/ receive mode setting determines how the device answers the incoming call.
