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.

7If your PC 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 PC modem software, your HP all-in-one will not be able to receive faxes.

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

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

10Change 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.

11Run 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.
