When the phone rings, the HP Photosmart will answer automatically after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
Case B: Set up the HP Photosmart with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the HP Photosmart. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the HP Photosmart, so the HP Photosmart can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not be able to send and receive faxes with the HP Photosmart.
