Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ringing

Many phone companies offer a distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number will have a different ring pattern. You can set up the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.

If you connect the 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. HP recommends 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.

If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All Rings.

To change the distinctive ring pattern from the control panel

1.Verify that the product is set to answer fax calls automatically after a specified number of rings.

2.Press the button next to Scan/Fax.

3.Press the button next to Fax Menu.

4.Press the button next to Fax Setup.
