HP 7200 manual Fax setup

Note If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with your HP All-in- One.

6.(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.

7.If your computer modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting.

Caution If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your computer modem software, your HP All-in-One will not be able to receive faxes.

8.Set up the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls automatically. Press the Auto Answer button until the light is on.

9.Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.

10.Change the Rings to Answer setting on your HP All-in-One to six rings. For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before answering.

11.Run a fax test. For information, see Test your fax setup.

When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP All-in-One monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
