triple rings for the different numbers. You can set up your HP all-in-one to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect your HP all-in-one to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. We recommend that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the HP all- in-one detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the call and receive the fax.
For example, you might have your telephone company assign double rings to your fax number and a single ring to your voice number. In this setup, set the Answer Ring Pattern for your HP all-in-one to Double Rings. You can also set the Rings to Answer setting to 3. When a call comes in with a double ring, the HP all-in-one answers it after three rings and receives the fax.
If you do not have this service, use the default ring pattern, which is All Rings.

Set automatic reduction for incoming faxesThis setting determines what your HP all-in-one does if it receives a fax that is too large for the default paper size. With this setting turned on (the default), the image of the incoming fax is reduced so that it fits on one page, if possible. With this feature turned off, information that does not fit on the first page is printed on a second page. Automatic Reduction is useful when you receive a legal-size fax and letter-size paper is loaded in the input tray.
